Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now
Introduction
The decade that was the 70s has long been described as ?the decade taste forgot?, and while there is no denying that sideburns, kipper ties and cheesecloth certainly weren?t particularly tasteful, there are other foibles of the period which tend to surprise and appal those who were too young to experience the era.
I was born in 1964 and have only hazy memories of the decade of my birth, but the 70s is the decade that represents my childhood so as a result I tend to view my memories through rose tinted glasses and will always feel warmth towards the seventies and in particular the pop music of that time, which has been much maligned over the years.
