I absolutely love music from the 70s some absolute classics came from that decade, but the thing I love the most about that decade is the way they didn’t care that the lyrics didn’t always fit with the soundtrack, they just made it fit by shortening or elongating the lyrics to suit the soundtrack. My favourite is Toto, Africa. Genius.

I’ve just realised that toto was the 80s. I’m away to bed to dream about bands that had that 70s sound in the 80s. This message will self destruct in 54321….

Great song, strange lyrics and not 70’s😂😂😂
Much prefer Rubber Bullets by 10cc or No more Mr Nice Guy by Alice Cooper.Last edited by HibbyDave; 19-09-2021 at 07:30 PM.

There's loads of 70s stuff like the Police, the Jam, etc. that I'll always associate more with the 80s.
For me the 70s were the likes of
T-Rex

Sweet

The Eagles

Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music

I'll stop there.

Brilliant whatever year.
That's one I'll always incorrectly lump in with the 80s. It's probably because I think of the 80s as secondary school (for me) onward, even though I started in 1979.Last edited by Peevemor; 19-09-2021 at 08:45 PM.

70's music is when I got seriously into music, Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees, Average White Band - AWB and Cut the Cake and Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill are just some of my favourites. In the late 70's The Jam, The Police, almost forgot Lou Reed and Robert Palmer. Some great music in the 70's.

Deep Purple
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
Bowie
Genesis
Rush
Kraftwerk
The Clash
Supertramp
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Queen
The Stranglers
The Jam
Fleetwood Mac
ELO
Blondie

And that's just the artists that I liked, there were many more cult artists that didn't float my boat back then but I'll happily listen to now. No other decade comes near the 70's.Last edited by Hibrandenburg; 20-09-2021 at 07:12 AM.

So many great bands from the 70s. From the Stooges and the MC5 at the start of the decade, the punk bands of 76/77, two tone and the start second wave of punk bands. Great decade for music.

Started secondary school in 1970 then it was T. Rex, Bowie, Slade, 10cc, Sparks, through heavy rock like Led Zep and Nazareth into punk/new wave and that was it, way way too many too mention there.
The 70s was a golden era...shame most of the 80s was so pish for music!

Here's a perhaps less well known 70's classic, September Gurls by Big Star.
https://youtu.be/BNKSs1J38EA
The singer is the late Alex Chilton (who had a number 1 in the USA when aged 16 as vocalist for the Box Top) But for poor management, record deals and just plain bad luck they could and should have been massive.

For Rock/Rock and Roll in the 70's I suppose it was it was a perfect storm. There were thousands of artists wanting onboard he gravy train and record companies were willing to gamble and allow a band time to grow over two or three albums even if they were hit-less during that time.
So artists had room to experiment and find some kind of individuality, which was a potent mixture if there was genuine talent -which leads to all that great music from that decade. There was also a huge amount of pesh though, as with any decade.
IMHO by the early 80's all the experimentation possible was over, the post-punk bands drained that well and after that there are very few "original" rock and roll bands, some good bands and songs through the 80's and 90's but for bands starting in those decades they are all walking around in other people's shoes.
All the cutting edge switched over to House and Hip-Hop. The same thing happened to Jazz in the late 50's early 60's and the same thing is happening now with Hip-Hop.

Found my love of music in the early 70's with the Glam rock of Slade, Sweet, Wizard and the likes before progressing onto metal and a very eclectic taste over the years.
A few mates at school were into the Northern Soul, so i could be at Clouds one night and Nicky Tams Tavern the next.TOP CASH BACK

Not sure if anyone listens to Sounds Of the 70s on Radio 2.
On Sunday, Johnnie Walker was talking to Bob Harris about Whistle Test being 50 years old 😳

Early 70s glam rock was superb, slade were probably the best band i've seen, they were fantastic live.
Leith town hall rocked when they played there, the atmosphere in that place was as good as any Wembley or murrayfield concert.

Queen and Mott at the Caley was as good as it gets but I think we've raved about that gig already on here

I saw Slade at Norbreck Castle, you'll know the place mate. Was far too near the speakers I swear I couldnt hear properly for about three days. They were brilliant. Slayed was probably about the second or third album I possessed.

Bowie, 10cc, Thin Lizzy, Motorhead, Clash, Specials, Tom Waits and Madness in that order as new loves. Special mention for Slade, Pilot, Blue Oyster Cult, Ian Dury, Rockpile and Springsteen.
Elvis Costello and Steely Dan were 80s deep dives.
Anyone else remember Albertos Y Trios Los Paranois?
