The Orlando Magic is a professional basketball team based in Orlando, Florida. One of their signature moves is the fast break pass, which has become a trademark of their playing style. The fast break pass is a quick and efficient way to transition from defense to offense, allowing the team to catch the opposing team off guard and score easy baskets. The fast break pass usually starts with a steal or a defensive rebound. As soon as the Magic gain possession of the ball, they look to push the tempo and quickly move the ball up the court. The player who grabs the rebound or makes the steal becomes the initiator of the fast break pass, as they are responsible for making the first pass to start the transition.

Five years ago back when I was finishing up Genre Specific Playlist I ran a final set of these called the Decade Specific Playlist to determine the sub's fave songs of the 70s 80's 90's and 2000's . Since then the sub has grown a lot more and the method to determine songs, contest mode post with upvotes, may not have been the best method.
To keep this series in line with the Songs of the Decade list I'll be having users submit their top 25 songs. While the list will be weighted in scoring to also keep in line with that thread the scoring will go as follows
Your Top Song = 30 points
Songs 2-5 = 25 points
Songs 6-10 = 20 points
Songs 11-15 = 15 points
Songs 16-20 = 10 points
Songs 21-25 = 5 points
We'll be taking the top 100 songs to form our list. Also to promote a level of variety Only an artists top 3 songs will make a list (solo work and side projects will be treated as separate entities. other than MF DOOM when he finally shows up, I'll explain it then.) I feel these lists are good for discovery and the last time we did this we capped it at 5 per artists and the lists were STILL very homogenous.
This week we'll be tackling my fave decade, the 70's. Please use the following form to submit your lists. Submissions will be closed Midnight Saturday night.
