So many great songs from Seals & Crofts, but this one is appropriate already here in Arizona.

I did not know about this until I heard about Croft's death.

I've been hearing Summer Breeze every summer for the past thirty years on da rajo, never gave it any thought until now. Quite surprised it was out so long ago.

One of my favorites from the 70s....question...you are stranded on a desert island....you can only choose one decade of music to listen to.....me it's the 70's all the way

No Beatles for you! (Also no soup)

The correct answer is "The Beatles" (aka the 'white album'). Only Beatles double album, hence twice the music. Simple arithmetic. Of course, back then, deserted islands didn’t have outlets to plug in your phonograph. Doesn't matter. The answer is still White Album.

He saw THIS and decided a comeback was going to be impossible!

For me it would be mid 60's to mid 70's. British invasion, Psychedelic Rock, Detroit sound, Folk Rock, Southern Rock. Beatles to Skynyrd, Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship, Rolling Stones to Led Zeppelin, Janis Ian to Janis Joplin, Mamas and Pappas to Moody Blues. Steppenwolf to The Band, Wilson Pickett to Jimmy Buffet. Allman, Clapton, Beck, Page, Aretha. .

Probably need a couple years more than ten to get it all in but an incredible volume and variety of music crammed into such a relatively short period.

I think for most people "best" is the music that was the thing when they were the thing which is totally understandable. There have been really great songs produced in every year and era continuing through today. But I do think technology has changed and in some ways diminished the role music plays in our society. Cable, internet, gaming, and such have reduced its dominance as a connecting point for younger generations. .

And streaming that playlist is not the same experience as carefully putting that piece of vinyl on a turntable and taking in the art on the album cover while the sound washes over. .

Easy one. The Vietnam era, 1964 to 1974.

Lol...you guys are missing the point.....you don't get to split up the decade...60s or 70s....everyone would pick 65-75...that's too easy
