Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

Ever venture into the 1970s, anyone

I did this morning with Patti Smith: Horses

...erm.... The Pleasure Principle?

Another 'not really my kind of thing', but also from The Jam's era,
The Boomtown Rats - 'Greatest Hits'.

Got about ten hits / best of's for free over the weekend, so im playing those. Ive found that these type of groups are only interesting to me as an historical point more than any great need to hear them today.

Other than Gary Numan and Tubeway Army

Constantly.
Sparks...

Kraftwerk...

Numan...et al.

Truly an inimitable decade.

And of course Bowie and Ultravox!

Every now and then though I like to listen to circa 1970s other than the ones we all mention here. There was truly some great music and unfortunately it seems to get overshadowed by the truly awful 1970s music that mainstream seems to constantly remind us about.

I still like Abba. There, ive said it.

David Bowie - Low

Gary Numan: Living Ornaments 80 (the 10 track version).

I have been playing this in the car for the last 3 weeks now. It's an album I never tire of hearing. Everyday I Die & The Joy Circuit being personal faves.
