To me the 70's were a vast wasteland,music wise.I doubt that more than a dozen songs of my 5,000 song library (thank God for CD burners) are from the 70's.I certainly understand that many will disagree with me...perhaps even including you.
I remember the first time I heard "Sultans of Swing" on my car radio.
Yeah, by now it's worn out its welcome, but man, what an ASTOUNDING breath of fresh air it was back then in '79.
I actually pulled off the road to listen to the whole thing, and said to myself, dear God, can this decade of crap music finally be coming ot an end???
