Well my 70's compilation album with hits as eclectic as Quo - Rocking all Over the World, Squeeze - Cool for Cats, Roll over Beethoven - ELO, Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty, Heart of Glass - Blondie, I don't like Mondays - The Boomtown Rats, Ike and Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limits, Don Mclean - American Pie, The Knack - My Sharona, Mud - Tiger Feet, Elton John - Pinball Wizard, David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust, Slade - We're All Crazy Now and one or two others.
When you think that the Seventies took in the end of the Beatles in 1970, through Glam Rock, club acts like Showaddywaddy and the Rubettes to the start of punk and new wave, woven through all of this time were mega-hits by mega-bands and artists like Bowie, The Who, The Stones, Genesis, Elton John, Quo and more. I was in my teens for most of the seventies. It's probably my age but I seem to like the stuff more now than I did at the time.

The 70s are the best although I accept that whenever you first get into music, normally as a teenager, the music of that era will always be more significant and memorable to you.
That's a strange old compilation Bing. Mud and Squeeze? Boomtown Rats and ELO?
Also in the 70's you had the best of the Stones albums (Exile), Who's Next, The Ramones, Patti Smith, some great Van Morrison albums, All the best punk, motown and philly were still producing good music, some of the best reggae ever from the Harder They Come through to Two Sevens Clash via The Wailers live at the Lyceum as well as Dylan's last great work Blood on the Tracks.0 -

It's just a Hits Album - I think I bought it from Woolies a few years ago.0 -
I downloaded one of the those dodgy compilations that they used to do in the 60s and early 70s of people singing the curent hits.
It was called Reg Dwight's Piano Goes Pop and it's got versions of In the Summertime, Spirit in the Sky and Young Gifted and Black.
The singer sounds familair but I can't put my finger on who it is : - )0 - Sponsored links:
