I have noticed that lots of rare rock from Sacrosanct and Saiyan and Guerra etc... those heavy band albums are mostly 1970!
(something in the water back then?)
I only listen to early/mid 1970s rock. Ok I have some 1980s 'metal' and do occasionally listen to some but I personally get more satisfaction listening to early/mid 1970s heavy rock.

Didn't see it in 1970, but a couple of times since (and re-watching it now [bit un-PC (i.e. sexist) today!]). And the T.V. series is an elemental part of my youth - and responsible for some of my outlook on things.

When I think of something that is very seventies this is Boney M.
This is the way I've started my journey in music and especially the tune Ma Baker, released in 1977:

Pretty awful song, but i loved it too back in the day (and my kids all know it!)
Hated 'Brown Girl in the Ring' though!! (nearly as much as [the unrelated] 'Karma Chameleon'!)

Boney M were very popular in the mid 1970s in the Uk & Europe. Rasputin was pretty good if you liked disco and I think they had a hit with Belfast as well?. Agree Darklands I didn't like Brown Girl In The Ring either.

I use to like the UK Harvest 'progressive music' label of the early 1970s it had some interesting 'progressive rock bands' signed to the label, I think they eventually became part of the EMI organisation?..

Barclay James Harvest were on Harvest - dunno if there was a connection...?
I think BJH were termed 'progressive rock'; again, whatever that term means...

The lands of Marshall Stack.
Those ******* of nuns in 1970 beat one devil out.. and two in.
The cinema was pure escapism, jenny 'Walkabout' Agutter starred in this cult British film (available on SpewTube.)
I Start Counting.
(without going on the Interwebs I'm sure Back Home was a big 45rpm too?

On October 27, 1970, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice released a double-LP “concept” album called Jesus Christ Superstar, which only later would become the smash-hit Broadway musical of the same name.
