Okay boys and girls, here we have 128 of our favorite songs from the 70's, from some of our favorite artists, which will be pitted against one another, Match by Match, Round by Round, weeding them all out until they get to the FINAL MATCH, which will have our two favorite showtunes face against one another to see which one emerges as Grand Champion of our latest Rock Wars!

As always, this TOC should be voted using a very simple criteria, which song do YOU like more, which do YOU feel you would rather listen to, and which would YOU say is ultimately more deserving to move on. Easy.

Pretty basic really. Songs are matched up, you all vote on the one you like more, the winner goes to the Next Round, and we do this over and over again until the Rounds are Over. I do ask that you all give objective opinions and votes here, listening to all songs and arguments here within this TOC with an open mind, beginning to end, and base your honest votes from that.

You know the drill by now, as always I ask that you please listen to each song again with each new match before voting. Thanks all.

So without further adieu, let’s get started with the Next match of many matches to come, in HCRs latest Rock Wars, Favorite 70's Song!

I now give you:


GREAT WHITE BUFFALO
(Ted Nugent)

vs.

CARRY ON WAYWARD SON
(Kansas)


So what say you all - which of these songs will move onto the Next Round, and which will be as dead as disco?

Carry on Wayward Son has one of the best riffola's in music. I pick this to go on for another round or two.

I agree, and it doesnt help I dont like Ted Nugents voice at all. Easy one for Carry On to carry on here.

Sorry, but "The Nuge" loses this one by far.

I like uncle Ted, but this is a marginal song for me.

I like Kansas, too, and this is one of their best.

That means that it isn't much of a contest.

Carry On Wayward Son.

Carry On Wayward Son

Great White Buffalo for me.

Carry on Wayward Son gets my vote.

That's how I see it, beats Kansas' wannabe prog rock any day.

One of the best tunes of the era, "Carry on Wayward Son" to...carry on.

Carry On My Wayward Son. An all time classic.

The opening bars of a capella grab me every time. Carry On Wayward Son

I never thought I would vote Kansas over the Nuge, but song selection did it again.
And I just saw Kansas at the State Fair, how ironic!

CARRY ON WAYWARD SON
(Kansas)

To carry on!

P.S. Sorry Eddy.

Don't apologise to me, apologise to AlienFlanders. He nominated it. Kansas and Styx are proof that Americans should stay out of the prog rock business. They were both more interesting in the beginning then they were later.
