Dang!

Good thing surely or is 78 a bad year for you?

Good thing surely or is 78 a bad year for you?

No, spoiled for choice. I do like Blue Valentine though.

So... Chairs Missing, One Nation Under A Groove, Scratch, or, sometimes, do the obvious thing...

Rush - Hemispheres

[The Subhuman]

The Wire would have ben a great choice, Nick has us covered for the Funkadelic ... Do I know Scratch ?

Ahh, probably not an album I'm familiar with

[Rook]

I'll sit this one out.


Be back for the next one.

Cover doesn't ring a bell, must have missed that one

Great year to go back and listen to ...as was most of the seventies.

I suppose his solo career didn't really take off until Melt. White Shadow and Exposure the best tracks imo.

[Sara]

Speaking of which, Gilmour's first solo album from this year is worth a mensh. Raise My Rent is one of his best guitar solos.

Yeah... why would you only listen to music made in your lifetime?

I'd consider the seventies is where I started, from the age of about 9/10. I was alive in the 60's obviously but it would have passed me by at the time. Did not stop me going back to the 60's, 50's and earlier, later

The 70's however (with a little help from the late 60's) is where the album as a work of art came to be and when you factor in the punk/post punk/new wave/goth and early electronica it was a banner decade

I wasn't really a Genesis fan at the time so Gabriel's early work passed me by. I did buy two later PG albums at the time in So and Us but no internet to deep dive into earlier work....

70s for me too, with '68-'75 being the high point... but I listen to jazz, classical, and world music from all eras...

I was (still am) a big fan of Peter Gabriel's Genesis, so followed his solo work. 3 and 4 were the highlights imo, and the '83 live album. So and Us were more commercially successful, but less to my taste.
