As you can tell by now, the music that I’ve been feeding you in these previous posts revolves around the 1960’s, and 1970’s. And yeah, you shouldn’t even be surprised that I’m just a fan of both eras, musically speaking. It was a period where everything was not only music being experimental, but sounding great. It was the decades that we as a society got to experience an explosion of scenes within the music industry. The British invasion, the disco era, Motown, and so much more that permanently marked the music industry. It wasn’t just two decades, it was a celebration within the music industry where we witnessed the rise of bands that we tend to know now as legendary like Fleetwood Mac, ABBA, Marvin Gaye, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Queen, and the list goes on, and on. Not to mention soundtracks from musicals like Grease, or even Saturday Night Fever that influenced the minds of up and coming musicians. The sky’s the limit when it was time for creativity, and improvisation where, you might not even know where the song will take you, but your instincts reassured you that you were heading into the right direction. Now, before I get more into these two decades, let me be clear today’s decade still carries out great music, and it’s important to always keep your ears open on checking out new material. There’s really no “preferred” medium to listen to your music, whether its records, streaming services, or music festivals, please do me a favour, and keep your ears open. That’s all what I’m asking for you. But, let me point this out that so many records that were released in this current decade, were influenced from the 1960’s and 1970’s. There’s originality like “C’est la Vie,” by Common Saints where it feels as if they were inspired by The Rolling Stones’s “Honkey Tonk Woman.” And heads up, their record, “Cinema 3000” released in 2024 KICKS ASS!  But going back into the 1960’s and 1970’s, there were so many record labels that released lots of vinyl records, cassette tapes, and 8-track tapes so that anyone could listen to their favourite bands. Concert tickets were PEANUTS! Let me give you an easy example here. At the time in 1972 with just $6.50, you could’ve gone and seen the Rolling Stones during their Exile on Main St. tour! Sure, I understand that the economy at the time was placed differently compared to now, and inflation too. But, they weren’t controlled by companies who charge ridiculous prices, and nonsense fees.
