I personally think Rod Stewart was at his peak in the seventies and released some of his best tracks.

Day 7. Goodbye To Love #TheCarpenters 1972

From the year I was born. My parents loved all music & there was always something playing they'd be singing along to. Notable for its guitar solo this CAN'T be subliminally why I love Rock & Goth 😄
