Tuesday's List: My Top Three Songs of Various Musical Artists, Pt. 2

My list of my personal top three favorite songs from various acts continues this week in a very rough chronological order...I'm now listing acts generally identified with the 1970s, although many of the songs are from later on.  Now I don't claim any sort of artistic discernment...you can read the highbrow reviews from sources like Rolling Stone or Spin if you are so inclined.  No, the following tunes just happened to resonate with me...often in connection with events going on in my life during their peak popularity.  And, sure, I'm leaving off names...can't include everyone!  Still, the list continues next Tuesday...
