Comment:
I really just wanted a mix of the three essential post-Beatles pop bands of the early 70's: Big Star (the most artistically accomplished and durable), Badfinger (more hit and miss but plenty of great singles), and the Raspberries (kinda cheesy and often lame but shooting for the same thing). But I figured early McCartney (particularly Ram) fit in here as well, and maybe some Todd Rundgren and Nilsson and a couple others... but, still, it's a pretty narrow field. Sadly, the early 70's were a morass of singer-songwriter wallowings, Zeppelin-influenced hard rock, and prog -- power pop was pretty much dead until punk came along and simplified everything again.
Feedback:
Just goes to show ya'...one man's 70s is another man's.......uh, 70s. (Still a decade with much to mine..., Steely Dan's "Can't Buy a Thrill" is loaded with gems, despite a quasi-loathing by some, which I've never quite understood.) Heh.., Quala-sonic indeed!
Yes, these are some of the best acts the early 70s had to offer, although I didn't discover most of them until the mid 80s.
Good one - my seventies fixation veers a little more towards Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath, but I'm pretty fond of Big Star, Badfinger, Nilsson, et. al, and you've done a fine job putting them all together.
Great mix. I love all of these folks.
You can't lose with these offerings...!
Very, very nice! Love em all too!
