The early 1970's, including 1973, was a treasure for rock music. The variety of sub-genre within "rock" was large, and inspiring to future musicians.

Unfortunately, that seemed to die out by the mid 70's, leading to the musically-dead disco fad of the later 70's.

Fortunately, the late 70's seemed to have seen the birth of "punk," and the early 80s resulted in "new-wave." Both of which have placed their stamp upon subsequent music.

Something from 1983 of no particular relevance to this discussion... :)

OK, keeping with the 1973 theme...

Apologies.

This site's formatting seems to have destroyed the URL. It does not seem to like a "_" in a URL.

Strange.

Whatever...

1973

@#13 ... It's kinda cool that the music from those days is more popular among today's kids than most of today's music ...

Curious that you mention that.

On Labor Day in 2021 I was at a friend's backyard BBQ.

There I was talking with their son (who I have known since he was a toddler, and was then and still is a teenager) about music. I asked him what music groups he likes.

Wow, talk about a blast from the past. All the groups he listed were 70's groups. I asked him about that, and he said something along the lines of, ~the 70's music was great. Today's music seems artificial.~

OK, that's one teen. But wow, I was surprised at the answer.
