Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 3, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 This thread was inevitable to be fair. Although most of us are too young to have been around at the time to fully appreciate it, it's still considered by many as the greatest decade for music. Personally, I prefer the 90s- but then again I would do considering it was during my youth. Such an incredible variety of genres scored hits during the 70s, it was so diverse. Plus many popular genres today started here- Hip Hop and the roots of popular Electronic music which along with Disco (another huge genre of the 70s) helped give us Dance music as we know it today and all of it's sub-genres.  Time for some disco heaven:  Giorgio Moroder- Chase (Midnight Express) Here Giorgio Moroder- From Here To Eternity Giorgio Moroder- E=MC2 Donna Summer- I Feel Love (more Moroder greatness) Chic- Everybody Dance Chic- I Want Your Love Chic- Good Times Earth, Wind & Fire- Boogie Wonderland Earth, Wind & Fire- September A Taste of Honey- Boogie Oogie Oogie Kool & The Gang- Summer Madness Here Kool & The Gang- Hollywood Swinging  And now onto some non-Disco  Kraftwerk- Metropolis Here Kraftwerk- The Robots Here Sugarhill Gang- Rapper's Delight Here AC/DC- Back in Black AC/DC- Highway to Hell Here Max Romeo- I Chase The Devil Rolling Stones- You Can't Always Get What You Want Rolling Stones- Gimme Shelter (was released in Dec 1969 but fuck it, obviously it was still in the charts a month later when the 70s started)  Paging Burchills Buddy to this thread, he'll love a bit of this.

WU LYF 4 LYF Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 WIN!  Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - American Girl + plenty of others  Big Star were such an awesome little band, Radio City is a great driving record. Tom Petty as well as you say just has dozens of catchy rock/pop songs that never get old, and you have The Replacements from that era who were churning out fantastic records (including 'Alex Chilton', a tribute to Big Star's lead singer). Then you have The Ramones, Allman Brothers, Cheap Trick, The Band, The Byrds, Gram Parsons etc all bringing out top class records in a variety of styles.  It was definitely the best time for 'guitar music', most of it has seemed like regurgitation since then and doesn't have the same freshness or style to it, with the exception of a few bands of course.  I for one won't mourn if it continues to die out and never sees the 'resurgence' that NME like to predict every few months when they try and overhype a new band. Perhaps the garage rock revival really was the last stand for that type of music. Thing is, with so many hundreds of brilliant records from the past fifty years, it's hard to see where anyone else can take the style, which is why I guess hip hop, electronic music and the various new styles have taken over, pretty much all the new stuff I listen to is house, bass, electro or hip hop. It's simply fresher and with (in my opinion) a greater scope in this day and age than the four/five piece band dynamic. It really doesn't matter if nobody ever releases another classic rock record, since the back catalogue of the genre is exhaustive enough to keep any fan going for a lifetime os listening.
