Different from the numerous musical genres of past decades, only a handful can be considered of the most successful and most popular during the 70s. First to be mentioned is SOFT ROCK (which was the “pop music” of that generation). This genre was led by artists such as Elton John, Chicago, The Eagles, Paul McCartney and Wings, The Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac and Bruce Springsteen.
ABBA - THE Most Successful Group of the 70s
The last of the successful popular styles of music was ROCK. In general, rock music became edgier during this time as a response to the lighter, peppier offerings of the disco genre. Led Zeppelin was the most successful rock group (falling second in overall popularity to ABBA); others included The Who, Pink Floyd, AD/DC, Aerosmith, Joan Jett, AliceCooper, and Blue Oyster Cult.
In remembrance...
Where would be be without the music...the sounds, the lyrics, the showmanship? Each song tells its own poignant story, it is life within the moment. You can take an inanimate object, write about it in a song and it comes to life. Each tune touches the heart, opens the mind, stirs the soul.
And the music goes on beating to the rhythm of the changing times...
