Yes the seventies was a good time for music; E.g
Queen ELO Sparks The Sweet Slade Kenny Mud Sailor Wizard Showaddywaddy (That ones for my sister) T rex, the list is endless but the seventies also spawned punk and new wave which was just as good, that is in my opinion. E.g. The Pistols Stranglers The Clash The exploited Buzzcocks XTC The vibrators The Slits The Skids I admit I wasn't so keen on disco but the Real Thing, Gibson Brothers and Disco Tex and the sexillettes were listenable I guess. |

I notice nobody mentioned the Bay City Rollers, just like One Direction, a manufactured boy band guaranteed to make money for Mr Capitalist

to me the seventies were Janis Ian, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, and I listened to a lot of Jazz, Les McCann & Eddie Harris, Spyro Gryra, Steely Dan, Alan Parsons Project
I listened to a lot of folk and jazz during those years as the R&B and rock was pretty mediocre in the latter half of the decade anyway ... except the Eagles had some great moments in early 70s I was still hooked on the Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, Ozzy, Deep Purple...Steve Miller came out with a debut...Space Cowboys. That was a landmark album - '70 I think but it could have been 69 :) still listening to a lot of Hendrix, and CSN young at that time too brought a lot over from the 60s in the early 70s which to me was fine as I was too young in the 60s to really get it ...lol |

To me the seventies was an whole mixture. Glam rock, disco, novelty records, Ernie by Benny Hill being my favourite. We even had the odd football ditty and Prog rock. Then came punk and new wave. Music these days is stale by comparison. I blame the Devil himself Mr Cowell, he has a lot to answer too.

right if you look at trends it really goes mid decade to mid decade. The early 70s still had a lot of what we consider 60s music artists around, but then the Allman's popped in for a few years - they were total 70s and took the decade by storm along with Don Henley & crew as far as rock. And that "country rock" sound was really the a 70s thing and has never been my favorite as far "country rock" from that decade. I like the current fusions tho. (also aka Skynard - total 70s). Stephen Stills took off solo tho and Traffic was huge along with some of the Brits like Uriah Heep, Bowie, Frampton. To me that typifies the 70s more as far what was good in the 70s but some...like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Neil Young, and Eric Clapton brought 60s sound with them. Then Neil went all metal on us. His guitar is still unique. Just like glam - most people think of it as 80s rock but KISS for example had been around since the early 70s. Was never a fan but I did really like Dokken & Def...Def especially. When Van Halen came on the scene in the early 80s we did not consider them glam at the time but they certainly had some of that style in the early years. But I think they really typified the 80s. |

Being a Brit the 80's was all about new romantics, Spandau, Durran Durran etc. I was always into metal but my sisters listened to all the new romantic stuff.It all went a bit tame mid eighties with Jacko, Lionell Ritchie and the like then Stock Aitken and Waterman
As for Van Halen I think Jump made people more aware of them in the UK. To me the seventies was all about playing your own banjo's but in the eighties synths and drum machines took over. This is my humble opinion of course

well it was a progression, but I agree about the synthesizers coming on the scene. That's interesting about VH popularity in the UK. They were huge in the US in the 80s. AS big as U2 in Ireland in the 90s... I think it was Eddie's riffs that caught on but it didn't take long for fans to appreciate the whole band. One thing I like about modern times tho is that listeners and musicians are more versatile. Like in the 70s most people I knew listened to either country or rock or R&B as their mainstays. I had several mainstays from James Taylor to FBB to Steely Dan so people would say my taste in music was just crazy. I only had one or two other friends who listened regularly across genres. I think I see more people listening across genres now. When you have guys like Aaron Lewis go from Staind to recording a country album and colt ford laying down some excellent rap, it's awesome. That;s pretty interesting. It gives versatility some validation :) |

I was always a Queen fan since the first time I saw them on TOTP's doing Bohemian Rhapsody. I saw them in 1982 at Elland Road Leeds. I left school in 1978 and at that time all my mates were into ABBA, ELO etc. I bought a lot of ELO's stuff, I left it to my sisters to buy the ABBA stuff, lol. Stuuf like Crossby, stills, Nash and Young passed me by. Don't really know anything by James Taylor although I do like some Steely Dan stuff. I actually bought a Donald Fagan single, namely New Frontiers, I would have to google the year though.
AS for VH I could start a riot and say I prefer Sammy Hagar to Dave Le Roth. I like Yankee Rose by Le Roth but only because the guitar god Steve Vai plays on it |

That;s pretty interesting. It gives versatility some validation :) It might be different in the states to the UK today. I do not listen to music radio anymore. My last partner listened to capitol radio all the time; they only seemed to play half a dozen songs on a rota such as 1D, Bruno Mars, Example and the like. These days I just keep a look out on the Internet to see if any bands I like are bringing anything out new. These include, Mastodon, QOTSA, Slayer, etc although I do still listen to stuff like Gary Numan, Arcade Fire even a bit of Mike Oldfield. I graduated at uni last year and did a ten thousand word dissertation on punk rock 76-78 so now I listen to the Pistols, Stranglers and I simply adore the Ramones. Their stuff makes me smile. I also listen to classical now and again. As John Miles sang in the seventies, "Music is my first love, and it will be my last “etc.
