It was a shit time fer music in the charts mostly..
Tho there were artists not making "popular " music fit fer the middle of the road TOTP`s...
Fortunately...
Patti Smith..
Ramones..
Pistols..
Clash..
The Damned..
The Slits**
were cranking up some vibe..
And of course Kraftwerk were still doing their thang...
As an aside ....`ol Bowie paved the way alot eh !.. |

lol - so Queen, Wings, Barry White, Billy Ocean, Elton John, Dr Hook & Chcago were shit too? I think that the Beatles were totally over rated and not every one agrees with that either! You can't slate folk for having a different taste or opinion to yours! Z |

Perhaps it was not all bad, Bob Marley and the Wailers released Rastaman Vibration, Peter Tosh released Legalize It but as I was only 7, I was listening to ELO so missed them both! |

Summer of '76 I made everyone I knew watch the Eurovision Song Contest.
My auntie Sandra was in Brotherhood Of Man.
The song I Pull My Blue Jeans On by David Dundas, I fell off a motor-bike while singing that.
Also the year I met my ex. |
