+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes, indeed, seems throughout the 70's especially, there was almost always a good song on the radio, rock, pop, country....Just reading through these 1975 hits is fantastic, although several I don't recognize right off the bat although I'm sure I'd know them, or recall them once I heard them.
^^^^^^^^
I loved them then and now.
))))(((((
ELO had their own unique sound with that electronic sound...not sure what the exact term is. I love their "Evil Woman" which does have that
strange sound right in the middle of it which always reminds me
of watching an old Frankenstein movie.
CHEVY VAN by S. Johns fits in with SISTER G. HAIR ...just very good sounds to sing and dance to.
J. DENVER!!!! ...Wow he fits into his own musical box. I recall
first hearing his I'M SORRY on Johnny Carson, and of course, I always melted to hear him.
WHEN WILL I SEE YOU AGAIN holds special thoughts for me,
because that song was played as I had to head back home from college
due to low grades at college. Lost a degree, but was totally in love with a guy, who I wasn't sure I'd ever see again. I did see him again though because he wouldn't stop in his pursuit to snag me later on as a wife.
Later down the road from 1975, Supertramp sang Take the Long
Way Home and love that to death!
these are all wonderful memory songs for me.

I watched/listened to Bowie's Golden Years......he's always been a Very Colorful Character with very imaginative music. I do recall going to see the movie Labyrinth when it came out, but forgot Bowie was in it.
I didn't really like the movie although it was creative.
I also checked out Dylan's Tangled up in blue, okay in my book.

was never sure if Bowie wanted to be a man or woman or a little of both...well, I know he's a man, just a colorful one...
Oh man, I know the movie Elephant Man and I think it is awesome.
Many years ago, I saw a college performance of it too.
I think Bowie is very talented and would do a great job portraying Merrick.
................................
I like Bowie's song "Fame."
I've always liked Dylan to some extent especially "How does it Feel" and
"Blowin' in the Wind".

1975 was an interesting year itr of big changes musically ending of some musical eras and the birth of others. For me even though these events would happen after 1975 that year was the last for a great number of things musically for me. The remanents of the 1960s bandsnow all but extinct the who, the birds and the hollies had their best years benind them John Lennon would release his last album of the 1970s, CCR was near its end both Styx and the eagles had personel changes that would forever change their music and the early 1970s acts had either put their best years behind them or were devestated by deaths or personel changes even the s released what would be their best album never to quite achieve that quality again. Also disco and arena rock were born in 1975 so far as popularity is concerned the times they were a changing. I was old enough to be well aware of what was going on musically at this time more so that of what was going on in the news or outsid. Basically I loved 1975 it was a great year musically and I have fond memories of that year in retrospect I never would have guessed what was on the horizon after that but I do find it interesting just how big thew changes in music would be there are few years in my lifetime that I saw so many changes on the musical level as I did in 1975 and not all were for the better in my opinion. Just wanted to share some of my thoughts on the year 1975 I found it a very interesting year.   |

I was at David Bowie's concert here in Helsinki April 24 1976 (sweet little thirteen years old..) and I have a living memory of the band playing the song Golden Years. However the set lists of this tour that can be found on the internet won't back up my memory: surprisingly he played his latest hit at the time only in a couple of concerts! It was a mysterious concert all the same - no wonder my memory is doing tricks on me!  |

It seems like a dream after 32 years - I've never been a big fan of his but I admit that he's one of the most important artists of the last 40 years - those set list internet pages have brought a lot back to me, I remember there was no support act but Kraftwerk's Autobahn was played in its entirety first then the Luis Bunuel/Salvador Dali film Un Chien Andalou was shown - a big dose of surrealist art if anything - then the concert. They played with a deafening volume with speaker stacks high as mountains (I haven't seen as big as those since and I haven't heard the crickets after that night!). Most of the Station To Station album was played (but not Golden Years like I remembered) along with some of his most rocking stuff up until then (Rebel rebel, Jean Genie, Suffragette City). In the middle of the set he painted the words "Half Moon" on a white sheet - wonder what that meant - and threw it in the audience. He's a mysterious man.  |
