Music from the 70s

Northernsoulnanna

The 70s my favorite era, so glad i was a teenager.
So many genres of music.
Reggae,Motown,Glam Rock,Disco,Pop
Tracks i liked too many too mention.
Im still into Music.
10 years ago a freind lent me a Northern Soul CD i was hooked,even tho it was popular in the late 70s i missed it.
I even go to northern soul nights, i cant do the dancing,but love to watch.
My northern soul and 70s collection is huge.
Of course David Cassidy was my teen heart throb, my freind loked Donny Osmond.
Saw david at White City Stadium in London. Sadly the concert was where the young girl got crushed and died.
Saw him in 2008.
Will the music of today still be around in 50 plus years time ,i doubt it.
I myself think it was the best music era.

Your last sentence but one made my smile, as I remember my dad saying back then about '70s music almost exactly what you have said about music of today. How wrong he turned out to be 😁

However, I can't help but agree with you about most of today's music.

I liked T.Rex and David Bowie, when I was about 14 (1973), couldn't stand The Osmonds, Bay City Rollers or David Cassidy.
Later in the 70s, I loved The Rolling Stones, Roxy Music, Led Zeppelin and AD/DC.

Bat out of hell ... Meatloaf
Alice Cooper
Kate Bush

Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Doobie Brothers are still in my playlist. Those songs just never get old.

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.

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

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.

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.

Oh yes. They were all on my bedroom wall!

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

And for me, sadly missed.

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.

Definitely Stairway to Heaven .

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

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.

I forget some pure class, I love this. Dire Straits.

David Essex was extremely gorgeous.

More acceptable trousers, but wasn't he gorgeous?
