goodhelmet Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 The real reason I started this thread. An excuse to post a bunch of Cheap Trick... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 David Bowie owns the 70s IMO but wouldn't even know what to post. Too much good stuff to choose from. Ian Dury Sparks. This received a lot of complaints from parents. Ron Mael scared their kids. This is great. Iggy Pop makes no effort to hide that he is lip synching. Growing up on music videos I didn't even pay it any mind until he grabbed the mic to draw attention to it. Flash in the Pan- Hey St Peter Was shocked when I saw I wasn't the only one to vote for them on the 70s album list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO2Ux9enzSk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Woodbine Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The 70's, the decade of classy reggae stuff on tv. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Sparks. This received a lot of complaints from parents. Ron Mael scared their kids. If he is scary HItler Moustache guy then I can see why. Anyway, Bowie... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VJSQGjFIj8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo Woodbine Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 70's John Cale mock-freakouts are pretty great. And because Ian Dury was brought up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czGA95wCYbs Okay, so it's not top 40. Sue me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Miner Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Roxy Music Stylistics on Soul Train Gang of Four I Found that Essence Rare Might as well go with a song written by Bowie (also clearly singing in the chorus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 What do you get when you mix Chicago and a few of The Beach Boys? You get Wishing You Were Here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Sparks. This received a lot of complaints from parents. Ron Mael scared their kids. If he is scary HItler Moustache guy then I can see why. Yeah that is the one. Though it is a lot less scary years later in the Beat the Clock Video. Hey it is 1979 so can post it. Favorite Devo song Modern Lovers- Hospital Leonard Cohen- Paper Thin Hotel. Very odd song about listening to the woman you love having sex in the other room. The whole album is odd but I like it more than most Cohen fans. Has a lot of ridiculous moments but some of the songs fit just how over the top the production is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 What do you get when you mix Chicago and a few of The Beach Boys? You get Wishing You Were Here. I really like Terry Kath so like that song. Probably most surprised I have ever been to find out a singer is white from hearing him on the radio. Decent guitar player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Might as well go with a song written by Bowie (also clearly singing in the chorus) Yep, I included this in the Bowie's friends thread. Anyway, fuck yeah, Chicago... With the fucking Beach Boys!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yep, I included this in the Bowie's friends thread. Missed the post completely. Asleep at the wheel nothing new. Love Train line dance on Soul Train featuring Rerun from What's Happening Eggs Over Easy- Face Down in the Meadow. One of the bands that kicked off Pub Rock in London. American country rock band. The Motors- Airport One of the worst bands ever but the song is oddly catchy Need some ELO Midnight Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
