Comment:
This is an expanded 2-cd version of a mix I did some time ago, seeking out the definitive mix of 70's pop (defined, roughly, as the enduring face of Beatles-inspired chiming guitar joy that managed to hide in the fringes amongst the prog and metal and glam and sensitive singer-songwriter crap that dominated the decade before punk came and blew it all apart). Big Star, of course, are the best of the bunch, though Badfinger and the Raspberries are often included in the same breath. My original mix focused on those acts as well as other like-minded artists from the early years of the decade. This time I've beefed things up with some lesser known but fine bands like the Scruffs, Blue Ash, and the Toms, and also added more music from later in the decade which bridged the gap from pop to new wave -- Shoes, Records, Knack, etc. (though still focusing on the guitar-dominated end of the spectrum, leaving the more synth-heavy pop for another day). Is this definitive? Who knows, but it sure sounds nice.
Feedback:
Some great selections.
Marc - you realize I have to get dubs of these :-)
Quala-sonic!! I do think it was good that punk came along & blew the 70's away -- a mercy killing, it HAD to be done -- but it's good too that you've preserved the historic record like this, for future generations to ponder. Appropriate closer track!
Quite the 70s power pop extravaganza you've compiled here! Plenty to love above -- Cheap Trick, the Records, Shoes, Big Star, etc. It's hard to believe that the Knack and Badfinger shared the same decade.
fantastic. love all of it, love to have a copy of it too
The Harrison tunes and that Bram Tchaikovski song represent the best of the seventies to me.
This is DYN-O-MITE! My absolutely fave rave Nick Lowe song & so much else to love. Would adore a copy if I can interest you in a trade.
like the Nilsson alot and others as well.......
With TR and Cheap Trick on the mix, I'm loving it big time.
Absolutely, positively fantastic and pretty damned near definitive. Count me in for a copy a month or so from now, good sir.
I too, love 70's pop. What I've heard of the Toms I really like. Outstanding mix, Sir!!
OOOOHHHHH!
Me wants! Very nice. Very, very nice.
Me wants! Very nice. Very, very nice.
Absolutely fantastic looking mix.
FANTASTIC! I'd love to hear this over and over again.
The Toms have a new (well, reissue with extra tracks) CD out now at www.notlame.com
5 stars, Marc! Wanna trade? This looks incredible!
I would give this one SIX stars... No! SEVEN stars... No! EIGHT...
Oh, you get the idea...
SUPERB mix!
