Paul expertly and entertainingly reminds people that there was also a lot of great rock music back then too: A lot of people (especially ones who weren’t yet around back then) seem to associate the music of the Seventies primarily with disco and soft-rock songs. Writer Paul Combs recently wrote a great article about the music of the ’70s.

The 1970s had a very interesting mix of popular music in it: bubblegum, rock, funk, easy listening, soul, pop, disco, etc. I was soon listening to the radio every day and buying records whenever I could. I also loved watching live-action shows about “bands” like The Banana Splits, The Bugaloos, and The Partridge Family.īy the time I was seven or eight years old, I was addicted to music. I regularly watched cartoons based on The Jackson Five and The Osmonds. My earliest memories of music are from the early ’70s when I’d watch TV shows featuring music. The music of the 1970s will always hold a special place in my heart because it is, quite literally, the music I grew up with.
