You read my mind. I was just thinking the other day this thread was missing some Steely Dan.
I love the Steely Dan - AJA album. But that's 1977.
That is a great album. If we had a 70s thread it would probably be at a 100 pages already. I think r&b,soul,funk, and rock music of 70s were better than 80s. But 80s pop and of course beginning of rap were the defining music of that decade, any thoughts?
The seventies were awesome (rock, especially prog rock etc) Steely Dan were great in the studio.

As someone who collects lots of records, I absolutely agree. But the 70's were before my birth date. The 80's were something I grew up on and maybe others here. So it is part of our childhoods.
A 70's thread would definitely be over 100 pages by now. So much good music in so many genres.
Steering this thread back into the 1980's:
Deniece Williams - Let's Hear It for the Boy [Footloose 1984]
Steely Dan are incredible. They burned out making Gaucho in the late 70s/early 80s and sat out the next 2 decades.
Haven't heard these before. The Corey Hart track sounds super eighties in a good way.
I would never in a million be able to pinpoint the Kyrie Mina track in time. Some of the sung parts remind me of Abba vocals, Frida and Agneta. Very classy song.
