Yesterday Once MoreCarpenters
This is a song released in 1973 by the Carpenters, a pop duo made up of American siblings.
It’s especially popular in Japan and became a hit, selling over one million copies.
The song nostalgically reflects on classic hits once heard on the radio.
London CallingThe Clash
London Calling by the British punk rock band The Clash is a song included on their 1979 album of the same name.
The album’s cover—featuring a guitar being smashed to the ground while the player grips the neck—is iconic, and many of you have probably seen it.
Alongside the Sex Pistols, they can be considered one of the quintessential punk rock bands of the 1970s.
Miss YouThe Rolling Stones
Miss You, which made waves at the time with headlines like “The Rolling Stones take on disco!”, hit number one on the U.S.
charts in 1978.
In the official music video, you can see the band still in their youthful thirties.
Sugar Baby LoveThe Rubettes
The debut single by the British band The Rubettes.
Released in 1974, the song was a massive hit, reaching No.
1 in the UK, Germany, and Switzerland and selling 8 million copies.
Although the vocalist Paul da Vinci had left the group by the time of release, his vocals were so highly regarded that the track was issued as is.
Louie LouieThe Stooges
From its madness-inducing intro, this track overflows with Iggy’s essence.
It’s no exaggeration to say The Stooges laid the groundwork for garage rock, and this song packs in all their barbs and allure.
Iggy’s unhinged vocals are addictively distinctive.
Lend an ear to the deranged sound and spice up your everyday life.

Get Up, I Feel Like Being A Sex MachineJames Brown
A track brimming with soul-stirring energy, worthy of the title “Godfather of Funk”! James Brown’s overwhelming performance meshes perfectly with the rhythmic sound.
Since its 1970 release, this work has continued to captivate listeners for many years.
It sparked a huge response, reaching No.
2 on the R&B chart and climbing to No.
15 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Its message—encouraging us to feel freedom and be liberated through music—still resonates with us today, unfaded by time.
It’s the perfect song when you feel like dancing or need a boost of energy.
SuperstitionStevie Wonder
It’s a smash hit by a legend not only in the worlds of soul and funk but in popular music as a whole.
Even after reaching number one on the U.S.
charts in 1973, it has remained a fan favorite and one of the most electrifying moments in live performances.
