There was some great music made in the 70s. There was also a massive pile of ... not-great music, I guess.
Crocodile Rock is still a great song (no matter what one may think of the artist). Lean on Me was great as a remake by Club Nuveau; this version is just good. Baby Come Back was pretty good. Fame was my least-favorite of Bowie’s hits. The rest I hope I never have to hear again.
