My favorite Cat Stevens song is Wild World. Father and Son is also a great song. Peace Train and Moonshadow are decent songs as well.

I’ve seen several DJs do a remix of Hot Chocolate. That’s a great track for the club scene.

Springsteen wrote some terrific stuff.

Because The Night was released in 1978, and do I have it on a 70’s playlist, rather than on that 80’s playlist with those other female vocals.

Here is a Bonnie Tyler song from the 70’s:

Some of my favorite female vocals from the 70’s come from Stevie Nicks:

Major Tom, what a great Synthpop/New Wave song, which I have on my playlist of songs that tell a story, along with the song that inspired Major Tom, David Bowies’ Space Oddity, which has more of a Psychedelic Folk feel to it.

I linked Don’t You Want Me, because I have long suspected it to have been an inspiration for Goyte’s Someone that I Used To know:

In my first post in this thread, I had mentioned that I had only recently learned while putting together my first Goth playlist that Elder Goths from the 80’s we’re listening to a lot of the same Alternative music that I was listening to back then. My Goth Alternative playlist surprised me by becoming one my largest playlists with over 50 songs, so here are some more songs from that playlist:
