Post your favorite music from the 60s and 70s
 

In response to a thread with the young GFYers.

from the 60s this still brings a lump to my throat. I guess it says something about my life.



And this one. It has to be good to fill stadiums 40 years after it's debut.



Will probably have them played at my funeral.

Guitar giants.

Another band who still fill stadiums.



They could still sell out a stadium, did it once not too long ago. This guy can play guitar.

:thumbsup

instead of posting led zeppelin, black sabbath, the beatles, the stuff everyone has heard i'll post some lesser known stuff that is great.

I won't tell ...

Ricchi e Poveri

Late 70's but it qualifies.

Great selection, saw Pink Floyd with Syd Barret they were crap. :1orglaugh

Pretty Things were a great act.

One of many.

It was Soviet Union times, my dad used to listen to Abba and BoneyM every weekend :)

Donna Summer - I feel love - 1977
Abba - Dancing Queen - 1976
Boney M - Rasputin

Paul, you have great taste in music, but you're not stuck in a time warp, are you? There's some great new rock also -- a lot of it inspired by some of the bands you listed.

Hi Paul, great thread, I don't see a lot of chance to post 60's (with an audience) so.. :)

just found this and really like it



great song and band from Minn (actually in those days all we had was time :) ) normally I like the studio vers but great obscure vid is why yt is so awesome



i started buying 45s in 1967, Boots - Nancy Sinatra my first so I fell in love with pop from 67-70



my fav song as a kid



great song



from Georgia to L.A. .. the farmer who hired them and sent them on their way with a days pay was in Minn :) there are a lot of versions of this song, i dug and this is the closest to the original 45 version

i can still recall the wheat fields of St Paul..



(70s) this guy went too soon, luv his stuff, nice live version



i really like all the soul like spinners, ojays, stevie wonder, ect

his hope was a rope and he should have known (great lyric)



the melodies in the late 60s were so peaceful

[just sigh]



this personified the energy of the time, i was a little too young in 69 but it was a groovy time

grassing in the grass is a gas baby can you dig it



on and on they went, it definitely influenced me even tho I was only 10 when I bought my first 45 :)

As I listen..

As someone said on YT, "I thought (the O'Kaysons) they were black" There was a lot of soul in So Cal in those days. They have that Bryan Wilson influence.

Love Grows still gives me chills.

The Brits are extremely talented musicly. Stating the obvious but they need to hear it. :)

That IS the original 45 of Me and you and a dog named boo

Early 70's black soul was mighty fine with some great orig melodies like..



and



aaaaaah

F the young guys thread Paul. I'll out post ALL of them (vids) put together lol :) j/k

I could sit and do this all day. :) but I have to go pay bills..

as Alice said.. (Where?)

"and I'm still on my own"

anyhow cant remember .. maybe.. raped and freezin

they dont write em like this any more

finally got a ride, this old broad down from Santa Fe, she was a real go getter



ok now if you were coming to one of my parties in 1973 you would hear this 4 sure. And you would be invited. It was literally open to the whole town. About 5000 pop. :) Those were the times. Throw your jacket on the bed.

Itbwas heaped with coats. The basement walls were wet from human humidity.

Can you imagine a young Paul Markham in 1973 :) I can tell he was a rascle. lol :)

Schools Out played on and on..

i slipped into my jeans



and this was our house band



these guys were good.. little Southern US ROCK whoa yeah!

KISS was the pinnacle of Rock and Roll

I had a friend in 1975 who could play all the KISS riffs perfectly.. name was Ty.. any famous musicians out there in the Counting Crows or something named Ty :) Guy was good for 1975. Lost touch. We all had a buddy who played guitar tho. :)



these three in particular I can still remember him going through espec Deuce which aint easy.

best version from 1974
