Great choices all. I would go with the Led Zeppelin song 'Rock & Roll' (or maybe Black Dog) for 1971 rather that back-to-back Alice Cooper.
Frankly, it kinds kills me to limit this to one song per year.
Alice Cooper has some great deep cuts like 'Mr & Miss Demeanor' and 'Be My Lover.' His (their?) debut is a post-psychedelic mess of a good time, but that's from the late '60s so I guess it's no good for the playlist. Listen to it if you like Coop in general, though. Kiss is another band with tons of great lesser-known tracks straight through to Love Gun.
What your playlist really needs is some Black Sabbath and Jethro Tull. Maybe 'War Pigs' and 'Locomotive Breath'?
deep purple - highway star
lynyrd skynyrd - simple man
You are wise to stick to hard rock here - you don't want to bust this party up with some Eagles shit.
Your 1973 spot is the right place for ZZ Top. La Grange or, if you can stand a lesser-known singe that fits in incredibly well, Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers.
1976 - Do Ya - ELO
>lynyrd skynyrd - simple man
Perfectly good song, but I am going to discourage OP from adding it. If you go ELO, then the next thing you know we are adding Steve Miller, then Tom Petty, then Bruce Springsteen. Before you know it, America and Fleetwood Mac are on and its ruined.
Ahh fuck I messed that post up,
Lynyrd Sknyrd is kino, esp. if you want one slower song that still fits in with the 70's hard rock theme.
Bad Company
Van Halen - D.O.A.
1976: Boston - More Than a Feeling
ELO - Don't Bring Me Down (1979)
No more 10 song limit & 1980 is honorary 70's

Black Oak Arkansas - Jim Dandy
>you don't want to bust this party up with some Eagles shit.
Well, maybe Chug All Night.
If 1980 is honorary 70s, then 1970 is honorary 60s. And BTO had better songs than YASNY.
This is a real boomer list, no born-in-a-wrong-generation-zoomer would even know about Free or Slade. Great work. Maybe add some Budgie or Uriah Heep

Some of the stuff like Way This Way was fairly obvious but Grand Funk doesn't get mentioned enough nowadays and as I said, BTO had better songs than the two overplayed radio hits everyone knows.
SPILL THE WINE, TAKE THAT PEARL
Everything Alice did up till raise your.fist and yell is good-brilliant. Especially the early 80s post punk albums he did while freebasing cocaine..a few spotty albums but still worth checking out.
Dude this is like entry level stuff. If you're going to put thin lizzy on there atleast put on their put one of their non normie songs like sarah or bad reputation.
what year was loverboy - working for the weekend?
Sweet - love is like oxygen
Alice Cooper
Distinctions Not Cost-Effective [1980s]: Vitiated Ozzy's schtick by making sure not to downplay his 120 IQ
1981 so that's not 70s.
