I think the 70's was a totally brilliant decade....................... especially for music.................. in fact one of the best.I don't know whether I'd class it as misunderstood, I'd class it as bold, brash and in ya face!!!
I don't know about that record you've listed as I've never heard it

Yes the 70’s were very special years for music, well for me anyway, saw lots of great bands and listed to a lot of great music. Always been a fan of David Hepworth’s writing have a couple of his books. I have attached the back cover for the track listings, he has also included his personal comments on each song, many of which I have in my collection.

A very hard question to answer; I'd probably agree with what you've said. The 40's didn't interest me, (well before my time) the 50's (again, before my time) were really the start of rock n roll and some of the music is listenable but, come the 60's (the era of my birth) things started developing big style and the 70's, well, they were supersonic for "music" and the 80's were pretty much the same. The 90's had some great music and music movements and as it came towards the end of that decade, things were starting to go downhill; the only thing that really caught my attention and, I did really like as we moved into the noughties was the Nu-Metal movement and the Desert Rock/Stoner Rock movement - some great music and bands there!! As the noughties moved on, we had fkn sh1t things like "pop "talent" shows and then the absolute DROSS of the procession of sickly teeny pop "stars" and music made by accountants for corporate giants
As for now, the only thing that's interesting me is the reformation of OASIS (who I really like) but I will not be going to see them live because I will NOT be playing into the scumbag promoters' hands who are using it to push the gigs' ticket prices to fkn disgraceful limits, ripping fans off and getting themselves filthy stinking rich. I wouldn't pay it for the Stones, I didn't do it for Black Sabbath's last gig so I wont do it for Oasis.![]()
Fk THE PROMOTERS GREED!!!!
