ITT: Sup Forums in 1976

>tfw not young in the 50s

Now that the dust has settled, can we all agree that this is AOTY?

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

Play that funky music white boy.

synthesizers aren't real instruments

This generation sucks ass. Today's music is just generic pop noise that all sounds the same and has lyrics about mindless sex and drugs. I wish I was in the 50s so I could see all my favorite artists live, like davis, ellington, crosby, you know, REAL music?

i lost my legs in Vietnam. music for this feel?

left is the best single of the year, right is the best album

Also, what the fuck kind of typewriter is this?

it aint me - vietnman soundtrack

*spits on you*

a pet 2001

Springsteen is over. He's in the middle of a lawsuit with his manager and can't get any royalty payments for years. He'll probably self destruct by year's end. Shame, he was just blowing up with his last album and his tours have been pretty good.

don't mind me just blowing the fuck out of doubters preparing for tour next year

Oh-Ho, back the fuck up

Bowie is finished. At this point he's just a plastic-looking coked-up neo-Nazi who can't decide whether he wants to be a rock star or a soul brother. Once he started getting big in America it all just went to his head and now he's lost. There's no way he can redeem himself after faux-funk like Fame and Golden Years. Face it, he's washed up, a has-been.

>zep
do you even hangout at record shops and listen to local music? fuckin narc

hol up
he posted it

Zep haven't been good in years bro

he´ll be fine

>he didn't use the gay card to get out of vietnam
serves you right, square

>FORD DIDN'T GET RE-ELECTED. THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE, I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. I'M LITERALLY ABOUT TO KILL MYSELF AND I'M NOT KIDDING. YOU BETTER FUCKING FIX THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW. I'M LITERALLY GOING TO DIE, I NEED AN AMBULANCE, I CAN'T...

music for this feel?

>1976
>voting republican
fucking narc

Everybody is going to get sick of this shit and there is going to be a movement full of greasy ugly kids who can't play their instruments in upcoming years. Screenshot this.

The Cambodian, Chinese, and Iranian kids who live on my street all seem really depressed. I wonder why that is?

>wanting nixon-lite for another term
tough luck, based carter will fix everything

dude, the grateful dead are already a thing

you guys tried heroin?

Hell yeah, Carter marks the end of corrupt establishment politics! No more politicians that are bought off by corporations, and no more neo-imperialist American wars. The 70s are going to be the day fascism dies in America, and our government finally starts to represent the people.

more a lude man myself

hahaha what are you? a middle-age housewife? ludes are so 73

let a man swim. where do you think i live? somewhere cheap like Brooklyn?!

Can we all agree that this was the best album of last year?

all I'm saying is, you've got to try heroin. once you do, you'll ditch ludes for good

Has it leaked?

Holy shit phil Collins sounds so amazing on the new genesis records. Can't belive we get 2 new ones this year.

they're so past their prime. I wonder what Syd's up to. He hasn't released anything in a few years

lol

>Commodore PET
>1976
Little early there.

I guarantee that he'll ruin Genesis. He's a hack

GOT TO FLY LIKE AN EAGLE
LET MY SPIRIT CARRY ME
DO DO DO DO DO

nope. it existed, just not public release

I hope the Village Voice fires that Christgau hack shortly. He gave Frampton Comes Alive a C. Fuck that shit.

talentless hacks

I think they'll be fine if Steve Hackett sticks with them....

no way man, Collins totally kills it

>Commodore PET
>first announced January 1977
>initial handful of units shipped October 1977

LOLno. Try an Altair 8800 with a teletype.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!?

>first announced January 1977
for public release

Have you guys heard about this new band? they're a little off their rocker but I can't wait for this release

helo i am single italian man seeking intimate musical relationship

Actually Jack Tramiel told them to develop a personal computer in six months, so the PET project would have just begun early in the year (the PET was first unveiled to the public at the Consumer Electronic Show in June of '77.

In 76 though, the computer wasn't even a twinkle in anyone's eye yet.

What do you guys think of krautrock?

>develop a personal computer in six months
>jan 77
>76 though, the computer wasn't even a twinkle in anyone's eye yet
hmmm

I can't believe Peter Gabriel left Genesis

He was the only good part of that group. They'll surely wither into obscurity within months

Wait, I don't remember that album having that cover.

what is that? i live in america

Say, that's not that album's cover! Remind me, what's the original look like again?

CARRY ON, MY WAYWARD SON
FOR THERE'LL BE PEACE
WHEN YOU'RE DONE

FEELS GOOD TO BE IN THE BEST DECADE FOR MUSIC

SHAME THE NEXT ONE WILL BE SUCH A DROP IN QUALITY

Go to a beach in Denmark if you wanna see that shit.

Man, music blows now. I miss the Woodstock days before all this Kiss and Styx nonsense happened.

you don't know that man, the 60s were great, the 70s are okay, who knows man. the 80s could knock your socks off

>woodstock
lel

shut the fuck up hair, no one cares about your "dude weed" jimmy hendrix bullshit

i bet you listen to the beatles you fucking false

Syd? Hell be fine

I agree about Kiss. Fucking makeup wearing clowns and their candy coated pop rock for 11 year olds. Rock is really depressing nowadays.

The Rolling Stones need to retire, man. I saw them last week and I paid $100 for a phoned in show. Fucking fatasses. It used to be about the music, not padding their Cayman Islands bank accounts.

See what? Hard Rock covers? Is hard rock music popular on Danish beaches?

Physical Graffiti was good.

AW, SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE
SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE
SHAKE YOUR BOOTY, YEAH

>his car has an 8 track
kek

>punk
>good
pick one you hoodlums

God, I would fuck these bitches in every hole all night long.

It's true though, they really wanted to be taken seriously as tough grill punk rockers, but Kim Fowley was mainly interested in marketing them as braless rock-and-roll jailbait. The rock world in the 70s was very misogynistic and male-dominated, and aside from a few exceptions like Grace Slick, most people just didn't take female rockers seriously.

guys T.rex is gonna have a great come back, father of punk, i can feel it

>his car doesn't have a 7' player in the front

its not 62 bud

some technology is made to last. records will never not be the primary way to listen to music

Receding hairline lmao

Well...I think it had more to do with them having an average age of 17. It was easier to take Stevie Nicks and Grace Slick seriously because they were grown women in their 20s-30s than it is a bunch of literal high schoolers.

you know CDs exist right? there is a future

>thinking "avant garde experimental noise" constitutes a song

ok guys

the other tracks are pretty good, but this shit is never gonna take off. quote me on this

they wont catch on man

analog is the past buddy.

no fucking way man, I'm telling you. digital is a fad, I give it until 79 before everyone realizes that they got conned

Dude, they quit already. Put out like seven albums tho lmao who is buying this stuff?

are you kidding? with digital synths you can actually save data! we won't even need guitars in a few years

prog's gonna be dead in 2 years, it'll only be remembered as some stupid fad that only overly-pretentious people remember

Bloody washed up cuntrag Rolling Stones. I wish some new, raw, young band or something would show up and put those twats in their place.

They said that about Doo-Wop.

I hear those synths are damaging rockstars ears. The government will probably take them off the market soon enough

doubtful. it's the rockers who do the drug and drink

Music sucks today. I wish I could've been around when there was real music. Everything around today is totally derivative - Led Zeppelin literally just wish they were blues like Muddy Waters. Everybody says Sabbath are heavy, but it's just talentlessness masked by distortion - they can't compare to Howlin' Wolf's heaviness. Alice Cooper is some lame, skinny pop star who wishes he could be Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Hipsters keep talking about fashionable bands like the Ramones, but they can't even play their fucking instruments! It's just simplistic pop music by teenagers in gimmicky uniforms. And look how washed up and drugged up the Stones and Iggy are - don't they know when to call it quits?

how is that damaging their ears? it's those damn electronic noises

>liking black music

drugs are the root of all problems. just look what the 60s did

pfft, I bet you like beta males like that faggot Bowie

whats a beta male?
