80s have nothing on the 70s, but everyone loves the music they grew up on. the seventies were an incredibly diverse soundtrack: the jackson 5, (motown & the doors, heavily played as oldies); soul music; progressive and classic rock (journey, styx, yes, kansas); soul; disco; new wave (cars, blondie, donna summer, gloria gainer, etc.-- all the gr8 disco one-hit wonders: don't you want me, baby; you can ring my bell, YMCA); all the gr8 black male vocal groups (stylistics, chi-lites, harold melvin and the bluenotes (teddy pendergrass), spinners, etc.)if you liked madonna in the 80s, her influences were from the 70s (i'm the same age as madonna (55), so i grew up in the same musical, and cultural, milieu (oh-- how could i forget fleetwood mac & the eagles-- the top selling artists of the 70s-- still touring today, almost 50 years later!!!). also bruce springsteen (born to run) and steely dan (can't buy a thrill) & classic heavy metal (KISS,etc.); not to mention queen (bohemian rhapsody), cher, chicago, blood sweat, and tears, the guess who (the first album i bought was "the best of the guess who, vol. 2; and the 2nd was "ABC", by the jackson 5) al green, cat stevens, grassroots, and, of course, meatloaf (bat out of hell; the rocky horror picture show) if i left anyone out, please add your memories of 70s music.btw-- a lot of young adults, and their children, are being introduced to 70s music by their parents and grandparents, & they think 70s music is gr8, too!!one, huge, difference: in the seventies there was no MTV, so we got exposed to new music through, mostly, top 40 radio stations.
