Best chillwave songs of the 1970s

Prog and hard rock spent the middle of the decade getting longer while dub and krautrock quietly assembled the rhythmic machinery that pop is still borrowing. Then punk turned up and told all of them to get to the point.

Songs from the chillwave albums of the 1970s, ordered by their own ratings rather than the record's.

One great song, one bad album

Tracks carry their own ratings here, so a record you would never play front to back can still have a song worth defending.
