[@TruthSurge]

man, these old 70s bands CARED about the freakin notes. Those harmonies going up and up before the solo are just one example of the care those people took with music. Queen is another example.

[@TruthSurge]

@Blind Brazilian Tex Atlantis true

[@traincollector]

the songs were not manufactured. they were labored over until they got them just right. there are still some groups out there that take that kind of care, but by and large it's the producers who write the songs and then create a sound for hired singers (sort of like they did with the Monkeys originally - though the Monkees could really play and sing). Today, you just have to have a great look for video (you know the old saying: "you've got a face made for radio"). Christopher Cross was a MAJOR singer songwriter, but he didn't have a face for video and he disappeared when videos came along. Plus, they just modulate the voices of people so much that there's no telling what the singers really sound like.

[@anjiedavie6792]

@@traincollector Experienced songwriters were hired to write songs for the Monkeys, such as Neil Diamond. Also, music producers can be capable songwriters but, then, I think of Ed Sheeran's recordings so, point taken

[@richierudd]

I don't think your term naivety applies to you; you just can't look back on things until time has gone by. I am 51 and can tell you I hardly listen to music on radio because really nothing has really happened musically in the last twenty years. Rap and Hip Hop was one of the biggest downfalls in the music industry and artists who could actually sing and make music were overlooked. Today music performers need back up dancers, back up singers, light shows and any other gimmick you can think of.

I was 14 at that time but because English is not my first language I didn't understand the lyrics. Now I am listening this song again and it is even better because now I understand the lyrics. You are right, the music of that decade was absolutely fantastic. May I add some more? Dire Straits, Supertramp, Earth, Wind & Fire. Great music, life was indeed less complicated or it seemed at least.

❤After Kevin and Lol departed, 10cc fans wondered what Eric and Graham would come up with to carry on. We certainly weren't disappointed! This was but one of the great songs on Deceptive Bends that carried on the legacy with aplomb.

I recently found my old 45s in my mother's house. This was one of them. Oh the 70s were the best.

[@1fromtheroad]

Music from the 70’s. Yea!

[@richardfinch5482]

Four years ago I was sat in a cafe eating egg and chips with my only thought being that, once finished, I would go home and hang myself. This song came on the radio when I was almost done and, being a big fan of 10cc during my school years, I decided to hear it out before leaving. Needless to say I didn't go home. The song gave me time to realise what I was doing, so I bought a coffee and sat there longer googling for the help I needed. I loved this song in the 70s and I really love it now.

Music is still just as good. Two things have changed: 1. Where to find it (direct from the musicians, not on radio or memory lane) 2. You have changed. You have lost your youth. Stop being so rude to the people who have their youth, you jealous crotchety old fool.

[@julianaylor4351]

Adrian Gould I'm already 58 and I blame lack of musical education in school, consequently I watch Later with Jools Holland to look for good new music.I used to watch The Old Grey Whistle Test when I was a teenager, there's too much flung together dance music as pop music now.

@@JBofBrisbane I don't know. My parents liked my music back then. Genesis, Led Zeppelin and the like all found a home at my house LOL. To this day my 73 year old mother still sings Carpet Crawlers (although she really shreds the lyrics to hell, but you gotta love her for tryin').

Saw 10cc at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester in 1974 or 75. Loved every minute of it. I still remember the (rudimentary) lighting effects for Rubber Bullets. It was also specail as - as one of the band members said on stage - they are from Manchester. Magic!
