And WHY?? \u2013 Part 3: The THREE DECADES of the 1970s\nFEATURED SONG:\nThe Drop \u2013 \u201cStay With Me\u201d (from It Wasn\u2019t Me !)\nSTREAM IT EVERYWHERE\n\nIn Part 3 of my history of albums, we get to the big one: the 1970s. If the album can be said to have had a heyday (and I say nay), this is the decade when it happened. Sales rose. Creativity soared. Critics still look at this decade as a peak of the album as art. Many fans do too.\nI name check some of the big albums \u2013 creatively & commercially, and include some personal faves. I talk about how the album developed & expanded, as did genres both popular and underground. I also argue that the 1970s was really three decades in one.\nWhat are your favorite albums of the 1970s? Is this your favorite decade for albums, or do you feel it\u2019s overrated? Can you hear the difference between early, middle & late decade music? Discuss dammit!\nBONUS VIDEO: Artists who went disco!\n\n~~~\n*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High"\n*mid roll music credit: The Drop - "Outerloper"\nLearn more about your ad choices.
