In '73, I was so into Elton John! Goodbye Yellow Brick Road played loud every day when I got home from school. I saw him in 76 at Dodger Stadium
Funeral for a friend and love lies bleeding were definitely worth cranking up
I was much a Deep Purple guy and Made In Japan, though released at the end of 1972, was much on the scene in '73. Many agree that it stands as the best live album in the hard rock genre.
Skynyrd's first album, ZZ TOP's Tres Hombres and Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy, to name a few more. Those 3 plus Aerosmith kept the turntable spinning, the Lowenbrau flowing and the "one hitter" burning. Clearly, I'm old.😊
Yeah.. I totally forgot ZZ TOP. They're honestly one of my favorite bands in the 70's. HOWEVER, I will be including them in a future video. :) The years keep on flowin by, my friend. And I'm here to document them! :)

Time keeps on ticking...
(50 year anniversary last year)
Going through a box of old ticket stubs not long ago. I was blessed. My first rock concert:
May 19, 1973 (lol yeah, I'm old, but still above the dirt...)
East Tennessee State University
Rory Gallagher
ZZ Top
$4
It was about two months before Tres Hombres came out. (Dusty Hill's 24th birthday, I came to find out on his passing) It was Festival Seating and I managed to get about 15 feet from mic center. Rory Gallagher was pure fire right out of the gate, and his band was phenomenal. (particularly Lou Martin on his electric piano) Rory was amazing to see play and I think that he had as much fun as anyone. Then, Billy Gibbons and the boys came out. Back when they were the most badass blues rock band that ever was. Straw hats, jeans, no beards (but Frank. lol), and BG in a white tshirt w/ pack of Marlboros rolled up in the sleeve(lol). Needless to say, Rory and Billy made a big impression on a 16 yr old. Blues rock, slide guitar nut ever since.
RIP Rory, Rod, Lou, & Dusty. Thank You!
Keep Rockin' Billy, Frank, & Gerry
@ Man... Dusty was an absolute MONSTER on bass! What a terrific story!
Great observation! ZZ Top, Man they could rock and had the meanest shuffle in the business of amplified rock ‘n’ roll! One of my favorite bands, and I saw them at the Waterbury palace At Waterbury, Connecticut, I believe it was 1976 in the tush album came out and the concert cost $5.50 and had a back up band called Slade, and they were booed off the stage after the third song Due to their extreme, volume and lack of cohesion. They rolled off the gear & went out the back door, and ZZ Top came in, and saved the day!
Yes exactly! Especially Zeppelin!!
1973 was definitely the best year for music in history! Incredible stuff!
Bullshit.1974 was better.Skinnard,Eagles and Bad Company.
Both of you need to get a grip.
71 was the greatest based on the classic album released from Tull,Zeppelin,Who,Stones,Doors
I can't believe you forgot the most important event of'73! I married my jr high sweetheart on April 9th. Going on 52 years now. Still rockin baby.
Since I remember actually BUYING each and every one of these albums on vinyl when they released, I approve of this video. 😎
Mannn...What a time to be alive! :)
Music peaked out in the 1970's ... Best decade ever !
I have to mention The Allman Brothers/Brothers and Sisters. While the pop radio stations played Rambling Man incessantly, Jessica was by far an almost religious experience of instruments. I simply loved it. It spawned a country rock/southern rock movement. For us in the south, it was our music.
I think Jessica is a superior song too...
Brothers and sisters is flawless….
1973............. The first album ever to go platinum before it's release.................. Tales from Topographic Oceans.........YES
Time keeps on ticking... Going through a box of old ticket stubs not long ago. 50th Anniversary just passed. (lol yeah, I'm old, but still above the dirt...)
My first rock concert:
May 19, 1973 East Tennessee State University
(Dusty's 24th birthday I found out on his passing)
Rory Gallagher - ZZ Top
$4
RIP Dusty! (& Rory, Rod, & Lou) Thank You!
Keep Rockin', Billy n Frank (& Gerry)
For me, the best year in music!
Me too!
Finally recognition for Montrose! Every song rocks!
Heck yes!!!
One of my favorite guitarist. Saw Montrose with Sammy singing. Great show
1973 Secretariat Wins the Triple Crown
Ah to be 22 and living in L.A. in 73...it really was a Have a happy day time and the Flaming Grooveys set the pace .😅
Tyranny & Mutation - Blue Oyster Cult (my favorite band), Alladin Sane - David Bowie, Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield, Brothers & Sisters - The Allman Brothers - wow what a monumental year it was!
B.O.C. is my top band also ! I've seen them over 20 times, starting with "On Your Feet or onYour Knees" I finally got Bucks autograph about 11 years ago in ATL.
@gladeloy3341 that's awesome! I've seen them over 20 times too!!! Truly, the most underrated band there is!
I think Agents of fortune is one of the great albums of the 1970s…I wore that out
I turned 15 in 1973. Was there ever a better year to turn15? We became the original and only "sex, drugs and rock n roll" generation. Human's are no longer capable of producing music like that.
The year I graduated from high school and bought an LP by Jethro Tull titled Benefit without ever hearing any song from it the stereo .😊
Benefit is a fantastic record. I used to like stand-up better but I think I’m leaning towards benefit. It’s really special.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath , my all time favorite album & they're so tight live great shows at Winterland !!! The Who at the Cow Palace & Winterland , Humble Pie , Montrose , need i say more yeah that was the year !!!!!!
Were you at the cow Palace when that guy got called from the audience to take over the drums?
@jamesmack3314 yeah , I don't remember his name but Moonie was gone , comatose HA , were you there ?
No, I wasn’t there. The only show I saw at the cow palace was Neil Young in 1987 ended up getting our cars towed ha ha
A great year ❤❤❤
One of the greatest years in history. Hard rock to bubble gum. All had a place in my record collection.
1971 to 73 were the peak years of the rock era.
For us old folks that were teens back then 😢
1973 was an amazing year in Rock. Quadraphinia is by far my favorite album from that year. But I definitely own the majority of these albums still. That's right I still have all my albums from the decades of collecting them.
It WAS an incredible year...
Quadrophenia was an epiphany for so many people. Arguably the greatest album of 1973.
@@andrewrees2587 I wish I could like this a hundred times.
So glad you included Mott the Hoople's Mott. They're my fave band, with Deep Purple, and both bands usually get ignored, however successful they were. Mott's my #1 album from that year. Their second-heaviest album, and one of their quirkiest too. 🙂🙃
Honestly, the song Violence? Getouttttttahere. THAT song is DELICIOUSLY badass. The entire rest of the album is proper good... Mott has exactly TWO mentions on here.. in this one.. and then in 1972. Love it!
@@aviewfromthestage: Yes, I love that song! Ian's voice and lyrics are menacing but also funny. Mick's guitar sound is massive. And Whizz Kidd is another deep track - it rocks hard but has a haunting melody and countermelody. Thanks, will check out 1972. Purple's Machine Head could be included there, perhaps. EDIT: I saw it months back! My age is affecting my memory-recall...😅
@@BanalayerPete1972 Man.. Nice to see another Mott fan on here! :) Annnnnd Purple's Machine Head IS included!
@@aviewfromthestage: Likewise! Nice to see Mott are remembered in America too (I'm a Brit).
I just love the way those songs on Mott just roll from one to the other like they are connected. One of my top 5 albums of all time. My hair gets longer as the beat gets stronger!!
Foghat's sophomore entry "Rock & Roll" was my favorite album in 1973 along with Lynyrd Skynyrd's Pronunced and ZZ Top's Tres Hombres.
I turned 18 in 1973. I was listening to lots of David Bowie, Mott the Hoople, Slade, T Rex and the fabulous NY Dolls!
I absolutely LOVE that!
'Blinded by the light,' by B Springsteen, just listened to it properly for the first time today, What a brilliant lyric!
I love with Manfred Mann did with it.
It was a great time.... rock on
Zeppelin / Houses of the Holy, BTO / BTO, Brownsville Station / Yeah, Deep Purple / Who Do We Think We Are, Foghat / Rock and Roll, Grand Funk / We're an American Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd / Pronounced 'leh-'nerd 'skin'nerd, Nazareth / Loud n' Proud, T Rex / Tanx, Uriah Heep / Live 73 and Sweet Freedom, ELP / Brain Salad Surgery. These are just some you didn't mention, but you covered some great stuff.
Thanks dude!
To not mention Led Zeppelin houses of the holy, something is seriously fucking wrong
Calm down at once.
It is a major oversight of '73 Rockn'Roll, House of the Holy was one of their bigger albums, and their Tours in '73 were record breaking, not to mention them filming the Song Renains the Same at their Madison Square Gardens dates, which I believe is still the highest take in any hotel robbery in USA history. This was Zeppelin at the height of their careers, the biggest band of the '70s,not to mention the God's of 70s Rock flying around in their Starship is very large omission.
I am more on THE STOOGES/NY DOLLS side, but LED ZEPPELIN had a strong album in 73
@@pt9167: Grow up a bit. You give all Led Zeppelin fans, like me, a bad name.
@@BanalayerPete1972 You're right. I'm sorry.
There are some great artists not mentioned, which is surprising. SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND is a huge prog rock album by GENESIS, and HOUSES OF THE HOLY is a must mention from ZEPPELIN.
The ones you do mention are awesome, but for me, the 2 that I mentioned are big ones!👍🙂🇨🇦
Awesome rundown! Makes me want to pull these albums and listen through the whole albums, especially since most of them have slipped by me... As i grow older, i realize more and more, all the music i HAVEN'T listened to...
Ya know.. if it weren't for my father, I would have missed about half of these. But honestly, Punk Rock saved my life... so I am completely enamored with all of it's history, i.e. New York Dolls and Iggy Pop.
Quadrophenia is probably my favorite album of all time. The Who would have taken it to greater heights at the time if it wasn’t such a problem to play live.
@riffraff3658 other than WHO'S NEXT, my favorite WHO album
Saw my 1st show that summer Wishbone Ash
My favorite album of 1973 was Lynyrd Skynyrd pronounced. Simple Man, Gimme Three Steps, Tuesday’s Gone, and of course Freebird. Few debut albums have that many timeless classics.
One More From The Road? Great Album
YOU CAN TAKE FREEBIRD AND BURY IT. IT IS A SHIT SONG.
God bless you maam🎉@@nolankrueger6666
You nailed every classic album for that year.
The only two I wasn't familiar with were New York Dolls and Iiggy Pop, even though I had heard of both bands.
I'll check those albums out. Nice review.
🙏😥❤️
HIGHLY influential... If for no other reason than all of the next two decades... The Dolls were proto the Sunset Strip scene of the 80s. And Iggy is often brought up by the grunge rock guys as being one of the records they listened to all of the time. :) So yeah!
@aviewfromthestage
I just listened to raw power and the New York Dolls
I went to college in the late 70s. And listened to a ton of great punk rock.
These are definitely great albums. Raw, unapologetic, in your face.
Thank you
@aviewfromthestage ❤️😥🙏
Because of the petroleum shortage in 1973, the word was out that after 1973 the vinyl would use less petroleum derivative PPC, making records thicker with less quality sound. This fear forced the industry to rush to record additional groups that year. I was a record promoter with Mercury. We knew to expect the best year ever.
Great video.... with a few caveats. Firstly, I own almost every album in this video. Coincidence? Or are they great albums? Secondly, Black Sabbath's 1975 Sabotage album is better than Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (sadly, Sabotage arrived when punk and disco hit the scene). Decades later, Sabotage got its due rewards. Thirdly, I saw Montrose on their first USA tour and they exploded on the scene. That first Montrose album is a killer. Lastly, Gus Dudgeon's synthesizer intro to "Funeral For A Friend" is one for the ages. Thanks again for the video and keep it up.
Hey, A View from the Stage, great mini-documentary. One thing that could've enhanced your segment on the Stooges' Raw Power is that Kurt Cobain ranked it #1 on his list of favorite albums ever, further deepening that album's influence. However, there are some key omissions: Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy, Al Green's Call Me, Lynyrd Skynyrd's Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd, the Rolling Stones' very underrated Goat's Head Soup, David Bowie's Aladdin Sane, the Eagles' Desperado, Gram Parsons' G.P., Can's Future Days, and probably the most glaringly offensive omission of all, Stevie Wonder's Innervisions. You need to do a part 2 to this.
Jackson Browne's superb second album, 'For Everyman' came out in 1973. 😊😊😊
That's my birth year!! 1973! Woohoo!
Woo hoo!!! :)
Me too 👍
I am on the same Club😊
Great job on this. Brings back wonderful memories of '73 when I was 16. I remember all these great albums when they were new. One addition I would've included would be Band On The Run.
Music was such an important piece of the puzzle of growing up in those days , it’s hard to describe! socially it and brought us together, but we all had our own tastes, and that would divide us into different groups of thought. It’s amazing the influence it would have yet somehow when the Internet age came all these super talented and super groups seem to disappear. although the Internet is a great tool, to bring all these things back to life, somehow it kind of kills that band spirit that used to exist. Read the stories of the people who became Rockstars and celebrities in music Business & the alternative would be working in a factory or behind a desk. there may be many talented people out there nowadays, but somehow the band thing just doesn’t seem to achieve the heights of the people that had to fight so hard for album popularity & superiority. so many stories of these record companies being robbers really boggles the mind of all of us that wanted to be Rock-stars and musicians.
What a lot of us kids did not understand how hard it is to be a good or a great musician, and the dedication and sacrifice & talent that it takes. but, it kind of kept us off the streets, and out of trouble! yeah, we would smoke a joint and drink a few beers, but we didn’t kill each other!😊
I respectfully disagree with Ozzy - that line-up's last great album was "Sabotage" from 1975.
you are of course totally correct, But Ozzy just didn't get the more experimental and atmospheric elements that Tony and Geezer brought in. It's really a cinematic album in that it has the atmospheric sections that are right out of a British Horror film. A rainy, cloudy English countryside .....and up on the hill is the notorious Asylum for the Insane, and the members of Sabbath at this time were definitely on the edge of being committed.
RAW POWER cuts like a scalpel mixed with a chainsaw. Glorious noise!
No Houses of the Holy. You dont include the biggest band during that time. How can any list of albums from that time not include HOTH. Was probably the second biggest selling album from that year.
YOU TELL EM!!!!!!
The LP, "Quadrophenia" -- "5:15" AND "The Real Me." "Drivin' Sister" (Mott the Hoople). The LP, "Rock N Roll Animal" (Lou Reed).
Bowie was big in 73.
I liked and still like the first Aerosmith album most of all.
It’s got some of their best songs but get your wings has more better songs
Yes, great year in rock, but many would argue it might rank slightly behind 1971, especially when you look at the list of albums released in that year. Also, is it my imagination or did the robot who made this video include photos of Ronnie Lane (Small Faces) and Sting in the section about Quadrophenia? Weird
am I the only one who noticed he said Aerosmith did Stairway to heaven 2:57 LOL
Nah. I didn't say that. I said it was Aerosmith's 'Stairway to Heaven'. Because that's the way the song goes. It starts off super quiet.. and then gets into a heavier part. Obviously, if you had seen my video for 1971, I know that Led Zeppelin did Stairway. I have known that since the late 80s when I heard it for the first time on my dad's record player...
They're not my favourite band and it's not my favourite type of music, but to me, Dark side of the moon is in a class all by itself.
Iggy & the Stooges - Raw Power 1973
Yep! That's in there!!
Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
Grand Funk - We're An American Band
Steely Dan - Can't Buy A Thrill (debut)
Tom Waits - Closing Time (debut)
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Catch A Fire (debut)
Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein (debut)
Doobie Bros - The Captain And Me
Allman Bros - Brothers And Sisters
Joe Walsh - The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get
Can’t buy a thrill was 72 countdown ecstasy was 73
I wish someone would play the unknown bands of this era.
Ian Lloyd & Stories? That Traveling Underground album from '73 is a piece of art.
Nobody knows who you are talking about. 🙄
THEY ARE UNKOWN FOR A REASON
@@nolankrueger6666: You're unknown too!😄
Everyone I know was into Alice Cooper. My all-time favorite song is elected. The Dolls were IMO were great, but you couldn't admit it, or you'd get pummeled and called a F----t. Crazy right.
Yep... and then the 80's happened, and THOSE guys (who dressed like the dolls) got all of the women they wanted, and then some. It's insane what a decade will change lol
@aviewfromthestage you're absolutely correct.
I think "Close to the Edge" came out in 73 - Yes'magnum opus. Also "Band on the Run" - arguably McCartney's best.
Close to the edge came out in 1972, in 1973 the band released yessongs and tales from topographic oceans
First Rush album
how can they not mention Zeppelin ? houses of the holy
My personal favorite was Trower, Twice Removed From Yesterday. Enjoyed all of the choices though.
Thanks buddy!
@@aviewfromthestage your welcome, wonderful list! It was a great time to be 19 years old.
My dad was 16!! It's always been insane to me just HOW MUCH good music there was back then .
@@aviewfromthestage my Granddaughter is 20 and starting to show a lot of interest in what’s in my vinyl collection. Good times!
Hip Hop and crime go hand and hand, it's an everyday proven fact.
@@st7728 um, racist much?
No Selling England by the Pound? No Houses of the Holy? Your list deserves "no quarter" ;-)
Nice
Grand Funk Railroad. We're An American Band!
This video is way off the mark. Idiots 😡 Stop trying to forget Grand Funk Railroad!!!!!!!
You could have left the punk out of this one! Wasn't that important. You got a few right but mostly wrong. Dammit!!!!!!
Huh... well.. you're gonna hate 1976 ;) But honestly, calling me an idiot is your prerogative.
@aviewfromthestage Look at the other comments. I'm not the only one. Grand Funk was the hottest thing in the summer of 73 and you missed it. Review history. Led Zeppelin. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Many overlooked because you put punk in there.
@ Eh, It's MY opinion. Records that mean a LOT to me, aren't always gonna be records that are important to you. And I'm gonna talk about Lynyrd Skynyrd in future videos. Because, my favorite albums of theirs, ZZ Top and Zeppelin, came out in different years. For example, check out 1971 for my favorite Zeppelin record. Punk IS important to rock and roll. And gave rise to all of the heaviest bands in the 80's from Metallica to Motley Crue.
@aviewfromthestage Can't deny that. I don't care for punk, but that's just me. I just hate that Grand Funk was such a great band as a three piece, and they seem that history is erasing their memory. I apologize for being contentious. We all have our likes and dislikes. I guess my bandwagon has a flat. Keep rocking. 🤘
Aerosmith’s first album was pretty solid especially with the epic song One Way St. although get your wings was superior… spaced,Lord of the thighs, woman of the world seasons of wither top-notch
You leave out Brain Salad Surgery, Houses of the Holy and Lynyrd Skynyrd's debut but manage to include moot the hoople, the stooges and the NY dolls? Turn in your I.D. and leave the premises.
Hahaha.
mty 1973 Dodge Charger is still here today. In my garage. It's my first car and I bought it in 1979. black on black SE. I rebuilt the motor about a dozen years ago and converted it from old school carburetor to fuel injection. Who'd have thought. It was made in July 1973. A couple months later J R R Tolkien died
Grateful Dead "Wake of the Flood". A turning point for them as the first album after the death of founding member and front-man Pigpen (Ron McKernan). Demonstrated their resolve to continue for what ultimately became a long and successful run.
Yeah...I was never a fan (or even listened to them much at alll )of the Dead, but I respect their importance in rock history. It's similar to how I feel about the Rolling Stones. I love what they did for music...their music just never grabbed me.
how far we have fallen
Don't even get me started...
LED ZEPPELIN
Alice Cooper Billion Dollsr Babies at the height of THEIR (not HIS) power....it was a friggin' band!!!!!! You do not graduate. Back a year to study more.
True. It was the band and the man at the same time.🤔
Just glad Alice Cooper was included! Many times they are overlooked.
What about Houses Of The Holy from Led Zeppelin?
73 .saw zep 2x msg nyc..elp dec... msg..yes..tull.....great album year 4sure..now?.im old
I wouldn't drop anything you listed here, but might have also added important albums by Bowie - Alladin Sane, a little thing called Houses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin, and I don't know maybe Band on The Run by an certain ex-Beatle? Or Mind Games by another ex-Beatle?
John Lennon! Yes! I know Houses of the Holy was huge in it's time, but if you ask any random person on the street to name a Zeppelin song, I can almost guarantee they're gonna say Stairway, which WAS included in my 1971 video.
Deep Purple, EL & P, Genesis, Bowie, also released albums that year, plus Springsteen's seconf,, for I believed the first one is from '72 (and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is from '74).
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath came out in November 73... and Greetings.. was Springsteen's first! But yeahhh... I did leave some stuff out. Thanks for that!
Deep purple
Check out 1972!
Billion Dollar Babies, Dark Side of the Moon....😂
Yep yep yep
1973 was when Led Zeppelin was at the very top of their game. It was 2 years after Led Zeppelin 4 had come out, and Houses of the was released in 1973. It would have been nice if they had been included.
73 so many great songs from pink Floyd dark side of the moon to Paul Mccarthy band on the run and we still was listening to deep purple made in Japan which came out the year before... but can't name them all and if you weren't around than you miss it. Sorry about your luck but I was there just turned 15 had a man cave in my parents garage with the posters black lights and the turn table.
Mott The Hoople, Iggy Pop, New York Dolls take Center Stage over Zeppelin's "Houses of The Holy"?????? Good Lord, can I have 29 minutes back!
Never heard a bad Sabbath album
Showing Alan Parsons at an SSL from the 80’s while discussing Dark Side from 73 is very confusing. We would assume you would show pictures from the sessions, not random shots from 15 years later.
Eh, I did the best I could. :) confusing? Hm. Interesting. Won't make that mistake again.
The Who was a complex rock band and America wanted to get down and dirty...
So many great bands with superlative albums. Free. Wings, Slade, Uriah Heep, Roxy music, Status Quo. Yep I'm a Brit. My 2 best albums. Aladdin Sane Bowie and Goodbye Yellow Brick Rd. Elton J.
Yeah... I mean, you guys have the intellectual and creative leg up on us here in the states. It's not even close. Then again, rock and roll started here. You guys just took it... and perfected it. Love it.
Meh, narration is flat
weak choices of what to cover and why
Lou Reed, Paul Simon, Queen, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney & Wings, Harry Chapin, Skylark, Rush, Triumph, Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, Frank Zappa & Mothers of Invention, Brian Auger Oblivion Express, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes
You forgot ELO!
@ also Rainbow with Dio
Why are you showing a pic of Sting when talking about The Who?
Il 1973 è l'anno di quadrophenia....il resto non conta!
No mention of houses of the holy , biggest band of the 70’s hands down
Nope ELP were.
ELP have sold about 46 million records worldwide compared to Zeps 300 million albums , plus ELP had sold nowhere near the number of concert tickets that zep sold , how are you defining “bigger “
@brettjones4733 Actually ELP were the biggest band in the 70's. Led Zep had some good stuff, the rest was crap.
@crimsonwizard2560 you live in an alternate universe, I was young, alive and well during the 70's. Zep was by faaaarrr the biggest most popular band with all the teens and most of the early 20's kids. ELP were not even close.
@ledzepandhabs and I wasn't. Led Zep are an ok band, but I couldn't stand most of there stuff.
Creedence Clearwater Revival final album should've been included in here.
Why? It was terrible.
@@jonncockrell3606 It's better than that new punk crap you displayed, you think passes for music.
I think it's integral to the story of rock and roll. I'm sorry if you disagree, but honestly without that stuff, we would probably STILL be listening to disco. And that is a fate worse than death.
Best album of 1973; Unusual choice, but I'll have to go with DIXIE CHICKEN by Little Feat!
some biggins, that's for sure. but listed below are some you left out. i'll have to check out the new york dolls and iggy on youtube. course i've heard of them but don't think i've played those albums all the way thru, yet!
best year for Glam rock with The Sweet, Slade and T. rex…..
Larks toungs' in Aspic by King Crimson was stupidly left out
I understand there isn't enough time to mention all the great music that came out that year, but how could you leave out Zeppelin's House of the Holy?
Great video. Music today is nowhere near as good.
WHAT? No Brain Salad Surgery? '73 was when prog peaked, and it is done a disservice here.
Just spun it 2days ago
1975 was the best year of the decade. But in '73 who thought rock had a lifespan? Guitar music is pretty much dead now. Long hair--what a rebel. Now only old men have long hair those dinosaurs. These days its woman pop or that teeny boy Alternative music that is making Cobain turning in his grave.
I agree wholeheartedly... and unironically this platform may be partially responsible. Sigh.
You got that right. I'm not a rock purest, like lots of different things, but the last twenty years are just pathetic, I mean PATHETIC!
Where's the samples of the music
There’s none because RUclips doesn’t allow it 😢
A very pedestrian view of the importance of commercially hyped music constantly rotated on the then "airwaves" for corporate profit . Lesser known offerings from great talent ignored , music for the masses instead. Great for most , however music , like politics has a very divided audience and profit over talent takes home the big money and half the crowd will never hear it because it is never promoted or presented for listen . Corporate Rock for the sheeples
Well well well. What would you have suggested oh great poobah of art? I included music that would have gotten people beat up back in the day. I'm not sure how that's "music for the masses". But, here is your forum. Any suggestions?
@ apologies for my words, you and others are doing an amazing job exposing these artists to new audiences
Look ONE Thing the narrator don’t mention that’s the end 73 a peace and love now it’s time we tried to peace and love it whooped that ass if you don’t give me peace and love‼️🤟🏼🤘🏼🎼🎵🎶‼️
0:20 - who was the lazy ass who decided to turn "Roe vs. Wade" into "Roe v. Wade"? FFS.
