…I refuse to be drawn into this……donna summer, bee gees!!!!!…….back in the 70’s I was taking Neil Young far too seriously to listen to that disco..…and by contrast I used to follow an R’n B band from Southend called Dr Feelgood…went to all their gigs….did bit of roady work for a couple of bands nobody’s ever heard of……and wrote some songs…..nothing published and lost interest when Morrissey came along….could never compete so chucked it all on the fire….

I am too young to talk about the vibes of the 60s and 70s but thanks to my dad's record collection I was grooving infront of the speaker I could not even look over the top of :lol: El Lute, Fernando and Summertime Blues were sounds of the 80s for me 8)

Summertime Blues - music of the 80s?. Thought that was Eddie Cochrane in the late 50s. Now that was an era. Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry et all. DA haircuts, drainpipe trousers and brothel creepers

Yes, they were sounds of the 60s and 70s but they also filled the musical void that was the 80s 8)

Rock and Roll was born in the 50s. Be ever grateful to those guys for giving inspiration to the bands of the 60s, who were indeed the greatest. Pity about the rubbish of the last 20 odd years
