Thanks to Danica from Living the Beautiful Life for nominating
me for the Five-day Music challenge.
The Rules are:
Post a song a day for five consecutive days.

Nominate two (or one) different blogger each day of the challenge
For today’s post I decided on a quick tour of some of the music
that I listened to and loved in the 1970’s.
The 70’s begin with the harmonies of Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
Carry On
And the driving Rock of Led Zeppelin
Whole Lotta Love
As Diana Ross Leaves the Supremes.
Someday We’ll be Together
In 1971 Alice Cooper releases Killer and the song
Under my Wheels.
By 1972 we’re listening to Lou Reed’s Transformer Album
Satellite of Love
David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust
Suffragette City
and Cat Stevens.
Oh Very Young
In 1973 Disco is born when the Hughes Corporation releases Rock the Boat
In 1974 Joni Mitchell delights us with Court and Spark.
Help me
In 1975 the Jefferson Airplane becomes Jefferson Starship and releases
Red Octopus.
Miracles
In 1976 Donna Summer moans Love to Love You Baby
Steely Dan releases AJA in 1977
And by 1978 everyone is dancing to Saturday Night Fever
Night Fever
While Hanging on the Telephone with Blondie
And listening to More Songs about More Buildings and Food By the Talking Heads.
The Good Thing
We say good bye to our musical tour of the 1970’s with Devo’s Clock Out
from Duty Now for the Future.
Clock Out
Today I nominate everyone. 🙂

The 70’s was quite a decade for music. I didn’t realize that until I started to put this collection together.

The last half of the 20th Century saw a burst of creative expression in all of the arts.
By 1978 there’s an abundance of new music and the emergence of multi-media. My list doesn’t include, Kraftwerk, Ian Drury, Television, and Patti Smith.
