Epic 70’s songs and bands

[grandinq]

We got the best Beatles album in 1970 as well. And it was a double album at that!

Not a bad song on that album. There aren’t many double albums I could listen all the way through but this is one.

I love the third album that came with it as well, Apple Jams. The track Out of the Blue is epic.

Knots is one of the most amazing musical creations ever.

I was always fascinated by the polyphonic vocals of Gentle Giant. That made them outstanding to me.

77 - Boogie Down!

awesome sound track, awesome movie!

used to roller-skate to it clockwise at the roller disco

(explanation: every few songs they would change the skating direction going around the dj booth - I was a poor skater - could'nt skate counter clockwise - lol!)

This is more recent with orchestra 2012

Got to see that tour!

This is one of those songs that takes you to another place.

I remember trying to learn this without the tab. I thought it was in standard tuning and spent hours trying to make it work

Houses - Great Album - "where's that confounded bridge"!

I’m a high school teacher and I’ve played Knots for several music teachers over the years, suggesting it would be killer for the high school chorus to perform. No takers!

You can’t do 1970’s epic without Emerson, Lake and Palmer. ELP at their most epic with this 30-minute masterpiece

I tried hard to understand that line with my school English!

Truly their masterpiece!

Ever since seeing this sequence from Song Remains the same - 76, I've wanted a theremin - wonder if Fractal can whip up a theramin block for old farts stuck in the 70s such as myself.

I always thought Leave It by Yes would be a great one for a HS chorus to cover.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

nice - what a great band they were before the tragic crash - still like the lineups that came after, but those early years - ya
