twaddle

Following on from the thread about music in the 60s, I thought I'd start one about music from the 70s. I was born in 1955 and went to university in 1973, so I actually came of music age during the 70s. I have so many favourites that I don't even know where to start - and so many songs which bring back memories (sad and happy). Maybe we could post some YouTube links.

OK! So I'll start ...

If - Pink Floyd

Warning: I was a massive Pink Floyd fan, so this probably won't be the last time they get a mention.

Me too- comfortably numb.
Fearless.

60s, 70s. We had the best music.

So many different genres, too

Going a little off topic
Does anyone remember the David Essex Films.
That'll be the Day and the Sequel Stardust?
Fantastic music in both Films.
Really strange ive never seen them on TV, i dont think the full films are on You Tube...now off to look

They were very powerful about the excesses of the time. That'll be the day was on tv a while back but im not sure which channel

American Pie - Don McLean - best ever.

Definitely Stairway to Heaven .

Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush

This is a fantastic song from what is one of the best debut albums out there (The Kick Inside).

1978 was actually a great year for music.

This...sums it up for me...Starman

And for me, sadly missed.

Oh yes. They were all on my bedroom wall!

Funny how such threads are assumed to be about pop music. Doe anybody listen to classical? To me, music of the 70s is late Benjamin Britten and some Michael Tippett.

Northernrnsoulnanna - I was also at White City Stadium. It was very sad.
Much of the music already listed are in my top 100 but also..

Kenny - The Bump
Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive
Showaddywaddy - Hey Rock & Roll
Donna Summer - Hot Stuff (loved the musical)
Blondie - Heart of Glass
Bee Gees - Staying Alive
My all time favourites has to be Abba who for me, just sum up the 70's. I can't think of any song except Dancing Queen that gets all generations up on the dance floor.
Happy days.

I still need to watch the "Winter's Tale" video every Christmas! He was so gorgeous.

My daughter got her first record player in the early 70s and played Jimmy Osmand Long Haired Lover from Liverpool incessantly. She was very young at the time in her defence.
