POP MUSIC..........

[sylvi]

Here i am on a saturday night and watching the telly. God what has RA done to us. Anyway i am watching a channel on virgin called vintage tv and at the moment it is all music from the 70s. Abba,Bee gees,Dan hartman,Kool & the gang get the drift,Lets see what you can remember from that time,when Ra was not even invented..........

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ...... and Bob Dylan loomed large and Fleetwood Mac I think unless they got big in the 80s .... 'twas all a bit of a blur, so much partying. I lived in the seedy part of town in the mid '70s but it was lively & remember one glorious summer especially just walking around the streets barefoot smoking Gauloises. One time I followed some African sailors at a distance for ages just because I'd never before seen anyone who looked like them .......

Saturday night fever was a fav of mine as well.There were a lot of kool and the gang,earth,wind and fire,chic,they were laying all these on the tv last night,it just made me wish for those times when i thought nothing of just getting up and dancing. WHen hubby was working late on a saturday before ra he would come home from work to find me jigging about to the music channels.xx

The 70's remind me of being a kid...I was born in 69...I always wanted to be a girly girl and have pretty dresses and a Sindy house but unfortunately we never had any money so I got my brothers mainly brown hand me downs and a doll called Penny Bright. Instead of long flowing locks and big boobs Penny had curly wirey hair and a flat chest! Anyway, back to music... I remember recording Bay City Rollers on the tape recorder for my sister while it played live on radio one and listening to Dads Perry Como and Mum's Carpenters albums in the lounge which was thick from the smog of cigarettes. The loo was in an outhouse in the backyard and we'd bath in a tin bath in front of the fire. The 70's were a bit grim in our house lol.....roll on the 80's!!!

My brother liked the stones my sister liked the Beatles & I liked the monkees my mum played Roy Orbison as I was an unplanned afterthought,so very much the runt of the litter I only got to play my 'records' when everyone was out but that was the late 60s. In the 70s what I would add to the list would be Santana & Barry white. Happy days x

David Cassidy, queen and Bowie in the common room, rod Stewart to make out to, and the eagles later when I came to Yorkshire to meet my OH, that long hot summer of 76, how we need that now.

I was born in 1960, so the 70s was my era for music , I loved donny osmond and David Cassidy , I've always liked cheesy music. My mum and dad played country and western music on the stereo gram. I remember taping top of the pops on a cassette player and liked Slade ,mud and showwaddywaddy. Happy carefree days. Xx

Born in 68, we didn't listen to the radio at home, so I first got to listen when I got my driver's license in 84-when I actually got to drive (sister & Mom had 1st chance). Then it was Van Halen, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, etc...
