Other contenders for the best year in Rock History – 1956 or 1977
Well 1956 was really something with a gigantic shift in music with the Advent of Rock ‘n’ Roll:
Elvis Presley
Little Richard
Bo Diddley
Carl Perkins
Chuck Berry
Eddie Cochran
Buddy Holly
Everly Brothers
Jerry Lee Lewis
Fats Domino
Or 1977 with the advent of New York New Wave and Punk
Sex Pistols
Stiff Little Fingers
Clash
Blondie
Talking Heads
Ramones
Patti Smith
Television
Buzzcocks
Damned
Ruts
Dead Kennedys
Wayne County
New York Dolls
Can either of those compare with 1967? Or has there been any mega shift and burst of nascent creativity since?
Well, the worst is labels only recording and promoting what will sell in racks at Walmart. Music for Trumpists, generally. Gee that was enough to induce existential nausea.LOL
The corporate machine is only interested in profit. It caters to the lowest common denominator.
I’m voting on ‘56, although my heart is in the 60’s.
I’m cheating. I’m voting for all three!!
Haha!
I know – if I had to settle for one it would probably be the sixties!
I think I knew that. 😀
I’m that transparent???
Well… yes. And that’s a good thing.
I think so.
