AFAIAC, Seventies Music was the best ever.
I know every generation says that...:)
The 77 album they didn’t mention that out sold the ones they did mention was Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell
I was at an event 8-10 years ago. There were about 300 12-17 year old boys. There was some kind of modern head thumping music playing before the event started that was being ignored. Then, “Don’t Stop Believing” (1981) from Journey came on the soundtrack and virtually every kid began to sing along.
A few years ago, my daughter signed up for some free music streaming service, not knowing that she committed to pay for it the next month, with my money since she was only 13. I decided that since I was paying, I got the tunes. I looked up Billboard Top 100 from 1973 and since I recognized 90+ of the songs, downloaded most of them.
I was only ten years old in 1973 and not listening to much music, but the music of the ‘70’s has such strong staying power that it transcends generations.
The talent pool of tremendous musicians, especially in a few regions (Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles etc) at that time rivals the way the Lord put a small group of men together in Boston, Philadelphia and Virginia in the mid 1700’s.
