RedScare Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Still, that is much better than this. Can't believe i even posted this. It can't get any worse than this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi7ZReTMLTw Mall singers!!! They don't do that anymore, do they? I've been listening to a bunch of reggae, one day, Credence the next. Busting out with the 80s stuff more often, too. Of course, Saturday after the power came on, I had to play this one at full blast.... The neighbors laughed.

KinkaidAlum Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I dig 80s music and dance tracks from places like Numbers, NRG, Power Tools, Red Square, etc...I also found out that this cool song from 1985 was filmed in the house I now own in Boston. I dig Aimee Mann.1:44 to 2:10 my stoops and infront of my townhouse2:11 to 2:48 on the second floor landing and in living roomhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz4pTMN3abw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The 1970s was the best decade for music in the 20th century. Agree or disagree? Oh yes, surely, for after "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" was recorded it was evident that popular music could never again reach that plateau.

Any decade that had "Here Come the Warm Jets", "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "Another Green World" released during it wins hands down.

Its hard to say one is better than the other. each decade had its best. I sometimes like to hear Gregorian Chant, very soothing but gets depressing after a while like being at a day long funeral but pretty to hear non-the-less.

KimberlySayWhat Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 As a whole I find a lot of diversity in '70s music, but then I guess you could say that about any decade's music really, when you think about it. To me it's more melodic. I love everything from the early '70s bubblegum pop to the late '70s rock. The R&B of the '70s is much better than the R&B of today (I love the use of brass in '70s R& as well as country. Today's country just sucks flat out (in my opinion). Something I've noticed about some of the more easy listening '70s music is that much of it appears to have country influence. You hear a lot of steel guitar in it as well other twang, but it's good. Has anyone else noticed and why do you think that is? Please recommend some other '70s artists based on my '70s iPod selections: ABBA Albert Hammond Alice Cooper Anne Murray Bee Gees The Bellamy Brothers Beverly Bremers Bonnie Tyler Boston The Carpenters Cat Stevens David Cassidy The DeFranco Family The Doobie Brothers Earth, Wind & Fire Edison Lighthouse ELO Elton John Freda Payne George McCrea The Grass Roots Hall & Oats Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds Hues Corporation Jackson Browne Jonathan Richman Leif Garrett Leo Sayer Maxine Nightingale Nicolette Larson The O'Jays Olivia Newton John Orleans Paul Davis Pilot Player Reunion Rick Nelson Sonny & Cher The Spinners The Stylistics Taveres The Three Degrees Todd Rundgren White Plains I sometimes like to hear Gregorian Chant, very soothing but gets depressing after a while like being at a day long funeral but pretty to hear non-the-less. Remember that CD of chanting monks that was popular about 10 years ago? Yeah, I didn't like that. Maybe I didn't give it a fair chance. It seems so cold and like you said, depressing.

Vertigo58 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Please recommend some other '70s artists based on my '70s iPod selections: Here is the best year ever for the hottest of the 70's pop music. 1976 the Bicentennial year! I wish you or someone could capture this whole list of hits and hand to me to worship!

SchwinnChopper68 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Please recommend some other '70s artists based on my '70s iPod selections:I listen to all periods from the 20's on up. 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s. Paul Whiteman Orchestra with Ramona Davies, Ruth Etting and any and all torch singers from the 40s, 50s and early 60s. Cajun, Zydeco, Amedee Breaux. Let's not forget It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels by Kitty Wells or I Fall To Pieces by Patsy Cline.After the mid 80s or so most music started tanking (at least for me) Sure there was/is some good stuff after the mid 80s but fewer and farther between. One of my most beloved collections is my New Wave songs from about 1976 to 1987 or so. Heavy on the 1979 to 1984. Gary Myrick, Echo & the Bunnymen, Kajagoogoo, English Beat, Midnight Oil, The Psychedelic Furs (The Ghost In You--OMG this song just kills me!!), Heaven 17, Berlin, Eurythmics, ReFlex, The Fixx, Soft Cell, B-52s, Debbie Harry and 1000s of others Here ya go, this is just the very tip of the iceberg but enough to get you started. 103 songs, 7 hours and a free ride in the time machine back to the late 60's to mid 70s. So many songs, so many Houston memories, lemme see...Black & White - Three Dog Night: Eating 5 tacos for a dollar at the Taco Bell with the flaming fire pit.Boots Are Made For Walking - Nancy Sinatra: Buying a 1 pound bag of brachs candy corn for 60 cents at Walgreens on Post Oak and Willowbend then admiring their trio of minibikes for sale at $79.95.

KimberlySayWhat Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thanks to the both of you. Many of the songs from both lists I'm very familiar with. I already own quite a few of them, either on mp3 or CD. SchwinnChopper68, you listed a lot of '60s music as well. That's probably my second favorite decade for music. Either the '60s or '80s. SchwinnChopper68:I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing New Seekers Billboard Top 100 of 1972 Was that on a Coke commercial? I like their '60s hit "Georgie Girl" better. That's when they they just went by "The Seekers". So, no love for Leif Garrett? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchwinnChopper68 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Yah, that was on a coke commercial. Always reminds me of Sharpstown Mall for some reason.

KimberlySayWhat Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Ha ha. That commercial is dorky. I love it. We'd never see something like that on TV now.

SchwinnChopper you must open up your own dance club, I will be the 1st in line! I also have original records that date to 1908 for my 2 victrolas, one is dated 1912 the other 1921. Got to crank to play but they work! I have numerous records that weigh a ton but are chrisp and unscratched ranging from Al Jolson to Rudy Vallee, some of the biggest and most famous stars of those eras! Sometimes I break out in a Charleston! and here is an all time mid 60's fav that I clearly remember playing on TV. I just was too young to even realize who N Sinatra was or how cool and hip she was at the time! Groovy and out of sight! Come on down to Royal Crown Cola! The one with the mad, mad taste!

infinite_jim Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The 70's only appear greatly relative in terms of musical integrity as to how it influences current musicians/dj's today. Disco is the clear stand out as it seems to be the only real live element intact as a musical motif within the context of innovations today. However, my sampler and I are currently enthralled by late 70's progressive country. I listen to all music as well with emphasis on the profundity of seemingly simplistic compositions.

Example: The Moog Synthesizer There was also Frampton's very unique guitar sounds (sounded as if he made the guitar talk). Even The Carpenters had a very unique chorus sound in most of their hits. It was very well refined maybe due to Herb Alpert's diligence in perfection. This could be a very long list of naming 70's top contributors to the industry indeed.

I'll never forget where I was the first time I heard "Show Me The Way". In essence his guitar was talking. Here's some closeups of the Talk Box in action. Emerson, Lake and Palmer - can't get enough of their unique sound - check out Lucky ManMott the Hoople - All The Young DudesJeff Beck - Blow By BlowThe Who - Squeeze BoxThe Who - TommyELO - The strings providing the background wave melody on Can't Get It Out Of My Head - to die for.... never has been or ever will be anything approaching their Moog, cello, violin magical sound.So many great new sounds came out of the 70's it's hard to know where to start.

I know I was visiting big sis in LA and 1st heard Show me the Way while at Venice Beach. Etched in my mind forever. Still have the 45 record. If you pay close attention to the guitar sound in the 72 film Poseidon Adventure, the rock band is bursting with that very distinct early 70's (sounds like a bar of metal bending in and out) while the young couple dance to them. That specific sound may have been done with what someone said is a Double Whammee"??? on the electric guitar. It was the Glam Rock era of course. Edgar Winter does it with such power in the classic Frankenstein! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlySayWhat Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I do actually have some Leif on my iPod, too. Word. So do I! I have a cousin who was a teenager in the '70s and used to work at the Astrodome . She got to meet Leif in his dressing room when he played the rodeo one year. She said that he wasn't very friendly. She got to meet a lot of people back then. My aunt used to make friends with the security guards as well and they'd often get into the stars' dressing rooms. They'd also find out where they were staying. A whole other era. They said The Osmonds were all friendly except for Marie. Eddie Rabbit was the nicest guy ever, my aunt said. They got into the hotel room of Mickey Dolanz and Davey Jones of "The Monkees" and hung out with them by the pool. She has some great stories.

The recording industry thought that the classic sound of a sax would seem passe' or outdated to the then trendy new techno sounds invading the airwaves. Here we are 25 years later and the sax is even more popular than ever! See if you hang around long enough you eventually come back into style. So dont get rid of those Parachute pants just yet!

I'm really not a huge fan of saxaphone solos. I love The Carpenters' "A Song For You", but usually fast forward through the sax solo. Sometimes it's more tolerable than others. The '80s used sax too much. I guess sax sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My older brother took me to a Leif concert at some point. I swear it was in the Astroarena? I didn't get to meet him, though. My 7-8 year old self would have probably died. We used to meet tons of bands & get into shows free all the time in the late 80's/early 90's, but these were mostly small shows. Places like Numbers, Unicorn Ballroom, Cullen Auditorium & the like. We managed to meet a few bands playing at large arenas, but I don't ever remember getting into any of those shows for free. Only band I remember ever hanging out with at their hotel was Ministry, but bleh. I had/have an attitude about them - it was my friend who was into them. We were invited & he wanted to go, so we just went. Nothing very exciting to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deut28Thirteen Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I like music from back n the day a lot more than the music today. A lot of artist can make a hit. It does not seem that hard to do hearing some of the stuff out there that have been hits. But not many can make music that can be remembered and that will become classics. This is one of my fav clips on youtube. Dina Ross looks almost the same like she did then today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can never keep those things straight. If I had room in my head to remember just one thing about music and the 70s, it would be Cheap Trick Live at Budokan, the soundtrack for The Best Summer Ever. It came out right around summer break between 7th and 8th grade: hellloooooo pool parties, making out, zipping up the Jordache jeans with a clotheshanger, Astroworld every weekend, lots of weed, more pool parties.

TheNiche Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Rush, bleh. Beware the slippery slope that goes from Rush to Kansas to TransSiberian Orchestra.Slipperty slope my ass. Just beware of Rush.elf boots.-1 point for liking rushsabbath>rushsabbath>>>>>>rush.^Explanation of dogpile: I used the suicidal end lyrics of Rush's 2112 as sarcastic lament that the opening of an ironic bowling alley was delayed.Only thing is that I have never tapped into the deep-seated rage that so many HAIFers seem to feel for Rush. Maybe its only because I can only listen to the music in hindsight and that I'm too young to have actually been there and seen something disgraceful. I don't know. I'm perplexed.For the record, I like their sci-fi epic songs, like 2112 and the Hemispheres two-parter. Plus, I like the objectivist philosophical sentiment in many of their songs. The stuff that drew from Tolkien...not so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
