Taken from a perfect album.

I always thought Slade were a far better band than given credit for. They're always linked to Glam Rock but Noddy Holder had a fantastic rock voice and they produced some fantastic songs.

Fantastic band I saw them at the Viccy Hall just as Gudbye to Jane was heading to number One dressed appropriately for the time

I grew up musically in the 70's, my personal 'sound' went through phases, reflects that process. Started off with pap pop, novelty hits, one hit wonders {Including Bowie 'Laughing Gnome' and Chuck Berry 'My Ding A Ling'. And thus fecking thing me Nan played on rotation for too long.
I delved into my folks' '60's stuff, psychedelic Beatles, Donovan, a smattering of Motown and whatnot, Ronco and KTel compilations. I never got infiltrated by Disco. As I recall it, it seemed like the mid seventies 'popular' music scene, on telly etc was dominated by Abba, Showaddywaddy, Darts and Grease.
And then this sort of thing started happening.
Skankmonkey noted in the 60's thread that his favourite musical epoch {in terms of rock} was 67-74. I feel the same about '77-84. It contained the best British Punk, the best of the American new wave {Talking Heads etc}, and the start of a vibrant and diverse UK 'alternative' scene culminating in Joy Division etc. {Also saw the start of Rap 'The Message' etc and the stirrings of 'Dance' Culture.} And importantly the growth of papers/magazines, fanzines, radio/TV to find out about music.

Mike Bloomfield:- "The music you listen to becomes the soundtrack of your life. It may be the first music you made love to or got high to or went through your adolescence to, went through poignant times of your life, well that music is going to mean a lot to you. It’s going to take on much more import than just the sound of the notes because it’s the background track for your existence."

I've always thought that the best music will be around the age of 16 when you leave the influence zone and start to have more independent tastes. I was very lucky growing up to have three older cousins all into music ranging from soul and Tamla across to Traffic, The Herd, Hendrix, etc on the other side. My kids are lucky cus they've got me

I've seen Al Stewart several times over the years but the gig at the time of the Rhymes in rooms album surrounded by excellent musicians probably tops the lot. The consummate professional.

By the late seventies I think it's fair to say that those of us on the other side of the political debate were viewing the prospect of a Thatcher government with some trepidation.

It wasn't all peace and love at the beginning of the decade either though...
"Angry" times as well. Pit boots and loon pants.
