heh... I was born in 79
Vast majority of these songs greatly pre-date me :P

I can still appreciate good music when I hear it though!

Something a little different. British Folk-rock bsnd, Fairport Convention from 1969. Lead singer is the legendary, Sandy Denny. “Matty Groves” is a traditional English/Celtic folk song-—plugged in. Sandy Denny just did this one album with them, but what an album it was.

Sandy went on to form Fotheringay with Jerry Donahue, Trevor Lucas, Pat Donaldson, Gerry Conway and Sally Barker. This has become my favorite Sandy song along with Donahue's great guitar work.

Here's the LP version. I prefer the live version but can't post because of the krauts' copyright claim below. Glad I ripped it to mp3 before they took it down.

Simply beautiful, Blackmore. Thanks

I was/am a huge fan of Gordon Lightfoot. From "If You Could Read My Mind", to "Don Quixote", to "Sundown", his songs rang true to the things I was experiencing in my late teens and early 20's during the 1970's. There's a great biography on Gordon that's available on Amazon Prime and other streaming media that's well worth watching. Damn, he's 81 now!!!!

How 'bout some early 70s stuff?









..and one of the BEST bands in the 70s

67 & 71

Arguably Terry Kath's best solo..., starts at 1:57:

Two of the most iconic supporting vocals in music history: Merry Clayton, “Gimme Shelter,” and Clare Torrey, “The Great Gig in the Sky.” Clare’s might be the only vocal that can be uttered in the same breath as Merry Clayton’s (IMHO).

This one is a sort of precursor or forerunner to "psychedelic" rock.


The Count Five - "Psychotic Reaction" 1966


Syndicate of Sound - "Little Girl" 1966

Dig the suits and ties. This was common in the '60s.

Continuing … This one-hit wonder was one of the first "surf rock" tunes.


The Chantays - "Pipeline" 1962
