For those who lived through it, the 1970s remains a decade of musical discovery – from glam rock to disco, prog rock to punk, the soundscape was a constantly shifting kaleidoscope of sound and style. Channel 5 celebrates this era of musical innovation with “The Greatest Hits of 70s Pop,” airing this Friday.
Settle in for nearly two hours of nostalgia as the program spins some of the decade’s biggest hits, featuring a wide range of artists. From the swaggering rock of Rod Stewart to the piano-driven storytelling of Billy Joel, the synthesised sounds of The Buggles to the soulful jazz-funk of The Crusaders, and the pub rock energy of Ian Dury & The Blockheads, this collection is a sonic trip back to a time when music never failed to surprise.
Tune in to Channel 5 on Friday, 9 May at 11:30 PM for “The Greatest Hits of 70s Pop.”
