Bah. The 70s, as a state of mind, started in the middle part of 67 and ended sometime in mid 1982

Trust me. I lived through it.

Roger's reply indicated that he thought it was another song.....or disco..........

[zvinki]

Happy Birthday Kev! Hope it was a good one. Shine on you crazy looney!!

[podakayne]

there lies a stagering roger.lee trying desperately to make it back to the future...so many ch...ch...ch...changes would be made. 70's were fine it's the 80's that sucked....

aren't you glad we said happy birthday kev! :D

[Yesspaz]

the 80s weren't up to par with the 70s, but you had Journey, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes, Boston, Tom Petty, Genesis, some really good one-hit-wonder-songs, and the rise of the NBA thanks to Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. What else could be wrong with the 80s? Oh wait, everything else.

I believe Roger was referring to the mighty ABC, whereas Yesspaz was referring to the Beatles. Roger's *shudder* was a very appropriate response to ABC...

[Rick and Roll]

oh how i shudder when I hear the 70's & 80's pigeonholed...

every period has its good and bad, the year is just a number!!!

Pop culture is typically shallow in any decade. What the 80's seemed to lack was any quantity of interest in artistic music. Doesn't mean none came out, but the number of people listening to it was smaller than in the 70's. The 70's had just as much trite trash, but the Yes, Genesis, ELP, Pink FLoyd sub-culture was fairly large for awhile.

The 90's aren't much better, but the big difference is the internet. It's easier to find good music (however an individual defines "good"), and e-commerce has given independent artists and labels a viable business model.

And Spaz, c'mon - 80's Genesis sucks compared to 70's Genesis. 80's Yes sucks compared to 70's Yes. 80's Floyd sucks compared to 70's Floyd. 80's Crimson - OK, that's a wash. Tom Petty? I like Tom Petty, but he's basic rock - not the same artistic level. And anything Boston did after the first album (1976) was redundant.

So what's my point? I have no idea...:rolleyes: :D

To quote Charlie Brown from Peanuts, "Don't ya know sarcasm when you hear it?"

Oh, and I do like 80s era of all those bands, but not as much.

[Rick and Roll]

I heard "Hitch A Ride" today in the car (radio). What a great tune.

I know sarcasm when I hear it. But apparently, not when I read it.

I was indeed referring to ABC. I always have and always will believe that the Beatles White Album is the epitome of Progressive or Art Rock. Revolution #9 while stoned is one of my cherished memories (sorta) of my misbegotten youth....

I was pleasantly surprised to see a forum section dedicated to the commemoration of the aniversary of my birth. Thank you all for the warm wishes and happy returns. It really means a lot.

And a special thank you to KeithieW for starting this thread.

I don't have much to contribute to the prog era debate. I am hopelessly biassed on anything that was produced during the late 60's and early 70's. My personal epiphany happened as a result of hearing Captain Beyond's "Dancing Madly Backwards" album back in '72 while deeply ensconced in a state of non-ordinary reality. It remains the standard by which I measure most rock music I hear today.

Thank you all once again for your kind rememberances.
