Lost in the Seventies

Although I was born in the 50s when Heartbreak Hotel was Number One, and was a teenager in the 60s when all boys had to be either Paul McCartney or John (Lennon in my case) when my interest in music as a subculture began, I came of age in the early Seventies.  The decade which arguably had the most diverse collection of musical styles of any era – from reggae to ska, disco to punk, protest to teenybop, prog rock to pub rock, soul to hip-hop, Kraut Rock to Yacht Rock. And then there was Glam..

For the last 2 hours Mimms has been celebrating the 80s and 90s. For the next two we’re going to sneak into the 70s to listen to classic songs that, unlike the Sweeney, managed to avoid being smashed, grabbed or lined up in a pop identity parade.

Published by Roy Stannard

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
