Courtesy of freakytigger and indeed FreakyTrigger, apparently we have all resolved our generational difficulties and become one big happy Radio Two family since 1966. Blimes.

Arbitrary Woodstock reference WTF

Of course you can't have an innaccurate and limited poll carried out without poptimists getting involved, with our great experience in POLL SCIENCE and superior democratic methods. Err. Anyway, I'm clearly not the best mod for this task but away we go.


[Poll #1443342]

It would be more thorough but I appear to be experiencing mild 'stealing wireless fail' so thought I'd just shove it out here quick.

Mnn; to be honest, I think it's probably more I can't identify a specific seventies sound as well as I can a sixties or fifties or eighties one. I just had a think and there's loads of seventies stuff I like, it's just I think of it as [genre] not [era].

I had never really tried to think of "the 70s" as an era (rather than a succession of genres) until Ned Raggett gave me Rhino's Super Sounds Of The Seventies box set as a wedding present.

Having listened to that (and the similar Disky set)... it was a very, very odd time. Not necessarily more varied than the 80s, or the 90s, or whatever. Just much harder to get into the heads of the people making the records and imagine WHY they were writing and recording the things they were.
