kranky 507 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 My mum and dad were skinheads, back in the day, so. I grew up with Ska and Motown. I was 16 in 1987 so I was a founding force in the house music scene. Therefore, I'm right and yo upticks are wrong. you'd remember the sunrise parties then and tunes like promised land by joe smooth and what about dj evil eddie Richards.

HaHa you know. Rascal_2005 is a youngster and a clubber. We were driving one night off out lamping and he had his CD playing in the car. He said it was new. I sang the lyrics to the first 4 songs that were on his CD!! He was shocked to discover that his "new" music was remixed stuff that the old boy used to listen to. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had the exact same thing with my stepson.He thinks him and his mates are the first ever lads to get nutted and have a dance.They all got tickets to see the prodigy a couple of years ago and were telling me all about them.They didnt believe me when i told them i paid a Tenner to see them at the leas cliff hall in Folkstone 20yrs ago.

Brewman 1,192 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Late 70's to early 80's was the era for a lot of genres. When music was proper because singers and bands were created by real talent and hard work not manufactured pure and utter shite that dominates the charts now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 70's or the 80's...The start of the 1970's seen the end of the Beatles and the last gasps of the Woodstock hippy days. In came Metal in its first forms, with Sabbath, Led Zep and Deep P. King Crimson rose from Hyde Park and led the way with Prog Rock, Floyd, Genesis, Yes, ELP etc. Along with it came the Glam stuff, Sweet, Wizard, Slade, don't forget Roxy I hear Stabba cry.... But what about E.L.O.!!!!!!!! Oh yer, the Stones and the Who were at their peak right about now too... Not to mention Elton, Rod and Bolan Go across the pond, giants like ZZ Top, Springsteen, Kiss, the Doobies, Foreingner and Steely Dan... Hey, have i mentioned anyone black yet.... 'No', well just gotta give that 'ol Funk scene a massive mention, Parliament/Funkadelic, Sly and the Family Stone, The Ohio Players, Cool and the Gang, Grand Funk Railroad and we ain't even got to Marvin, the Jacksons, Earth Wind and Fire or The Commodores stuff...!!! Now That was the beginin of the 70's and I've only just scratched the surface, because later on came Disco, then Punk and big bad Bob from Jamaica in all their shambolic glory... How far do ya want me to go.... Just for the record, as underrated and good as the 70's were my personal fav is the 80's but we ain't got all night...! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
