the '60s and '70s music thread!

[dick van cock]

What distinguishes that era from today's musicians is that we saw a huge amount of talented songwriters.

Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water


P.S Ignore the first two minutes, if you just want to go forward to the actual song.

I regard Simon and Garfunkel as every bit as influential as Dylan....the Brian Wilson part of the Beach Boys is also right up there, in terms of influence.

So, I'd add Simon and Garfunkel and The Beach Boys to your list. Probably The Zombies, because it doesn't get much better than Odyssey and Oracle. I also wonder why Elton John hasn't been more influential (or Bernie Taupin, if you want to split hairs). He and Bernie Taupin wrote some damn amazing songs in the early-mid '70s.

I can't argue with selecting those folks as great artists, and all of them have been incredibly influential. However, when narrowing the selection down to a very select few (and, admittedly, I straight-jacketed myself by limiting it to so few) there are some great artists that get left off.

I really believe the influence of Dylan has been exaggerated over the years.

I think that Dylan's influence is frequently second-hand in that he influenced the people who were more popular and who influenced the masses. For example, John Lennon was quite open in his admiration of Dylan, and frequently commented on the influence Dylan had on his own songwriting. So, while Dylan may not be the one most publicly recognized as an innovator and influence, I think he certainly was "the power behind the throne" in many cases. In this regard he is like the Velvet Underground. Wasn't it Brian Eno who was credited with noting that almost no one bought the Velvet Underground's albums when they were first released, but every one who did went on to form a band?

solomon burke: "cry to me" (1962)
70s music isn't anywhere near as good as 60s music

I love Rock but I also love the Pop/Bubblegum music from the 60's ans 70's> Motown also.
Anybody Like E.L.O. Theyre one of the groups I like from the 70's
I think they had a great mid 70's sound.

Seals and Crofts - Diamond Girl

I used to like the '60s a lot more, but now I'm leaning more toward the '70s.

 

[D-rock]

I like staying up late to watch (and sing along with) those time life infomercials...you know, the ones that have all the live performances from the '60s and '70s.

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but sometimes I like to watch those just for the songs to. :uohs:

I don't sing along however. :1orglaugh

Are you sure you want to claim you don't?
Because from what I hear DrMotorcity has, in his possession, an audio tape of you doing exactly that
