the seventies part 1: the next big thing

This Week on Music for Pleasure 'The Next big thing: The Seventies Part 1 | The history of popular music through the medium of bad quality 2nd hand vinyl part 3'

Having scoured the record collection, there's no easy way of saying this, too much happened in the seventies. A paired down list of must include artists from the seventies has reached the mid thirties, and that's without any Zepplin, Sabbath, Sex Pistols, Kraftwork and many others.

Therefor this week's journey through the history of popular music is going to ignore the fact that a decade is 10 years long and stop just before the invention of punk commonly believed to be in 1977. We'll be attempting to play as many of the artists and bandswho tried and failed to be 'The Next Beatles' while widening and developing what is popular music.

We may even find time to fit in a mystery bag megamix too.
