70’s soul, particularly the socially-conscious stuff from the earlier part of the decade.
Thinking of the likes of Curtis Mayfield, Syl Johnson, Esther Phillips, Donny Hathaway, Alice Clark and Gil Scott-Heron.
I do like punk, heavy rock etc, but the above stuff feels a lot more powerful to me  . |

A decade of music with vast genres.
Example:
Same decade
Seasons in the sun.
And
Friggin in the riggin.
However I would have to say disco
It was joyful music designed to make you feel good and dance.
Maybe it was just painting over the cracks of a broken society but I guess that's where punk found it's home highlighting everything that was wrong at the time.
I wish music still had the ability to make such a difference today.

Interesting shout.
I saw a great talk by Bill Brewster where he argued disco was the most misunderstood genre, with so much beyond the cliches of Afro wigs and flares. Loads of great, pretty unknown tunes.
