[hobbit.]

forgot about this one

 

[Dendroaspis]

The Stranglers “Down in the Sewer”.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

I can't even remember the 70s.

I do remember being dressed in green and camouflage during a lot of it...

 

[Jonjonjohnson]

When the levee breaks by Led Zeppelin

 

[FataMorgana]

I can't even remember the 70s.

You were a leprechaun?

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

One of Uncle Sam's minions...

But I was very tall for the role.

The 1970’s was the Album Decade; consequently, I would bookend the ‘70’s with Led Zep II and London Calling.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

I think that you're on to something there.

45s had become almost a thing of days gone by.

Now it's "files" and CDs...

 

[rockcasbah]

I lined up at Sam the Record Man to buy Tubular Bells because it was a “concept album”, only to find out it was 40 minutes of tubular bells.

Yes, its quite different now; revenue for most artists is based on streams, which pay basically nuthin’… instead, spotify will buy billboards in times square etc for bigger streamers to support recognition so you can book arena and festival shows at 150-200k/nite and up, sell 5 seconds of a song to nike for a commercial for 50k , etc.

Plus, artists all own their publishing rights now, well, the smart ones do.

Its actually not that hard to make 5-10M a year without being a “celeb” in the sense that you can still go shopping without bodyguards.

 

[hobbit.]

You were a leprechaun?

might have worked at Morrisons?

 

[oneblueye]

You were a leprechaun?

he perhaps, spent an inordinate time in the "whistling fields" as a guest of South Veitnam

 

[birdman01]

Take it to the limit-Eagles

 

[rockcasbah]

Here’s a sobering thought….

The biggest selling song of the 1970’s was “ You Light Up My Life” by Debbie Boone.

 

[oneblueye]

When the levee breaks by Led Zeppelin

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
first wrote by Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie 1929. A banner year for the blues...

 

[noanswer8675309]

An obscure - never hear anymore from 1970 - love the sound - sort of like some Chicago - sort of sounds like a movie soundtrack song from 1970's movie - Tough lyrics - 'Vehicle' from Ides of March

 

[Stef13905]

A whores with no name

 

[Creative_Juices]

There are way too many great songs to narrow it to one, however, “Bye Bye, Miss American Pie” was the first title that jumped into my subconscious…
