This waywardness and the notion that the shackles were descending, and things were getting stilted scattered music off in all directions. The dream succeeded more than many would give credit to, however, the ‘70s had to find their feet in a flash as the embers of counterculture waned. The latter half of the 1960s saw the explosion of the pop-culture dream rally against the onset of societal tragedies.
In short, it was the great decade of art in history. It saw Joni Mitchell make everybody cry with the folk explosion’s last hurrah on Blue, Californian rock ‘n’ roll went out in style with LA Woman, and the emergence of new masters on albums like London’s Calling, Marquee Moon, Paranoid, Horses, Rumours and an endless string of others. It was the decades that saw David Bowie unleash a constant swirl of singular masterpieces and inspire millions with his creative character studies. The 1970s: It was the decade that punk and disco landed like a bludgeon against the bourgeoise stronghold on the arts as virtuosity made way for music of attitude and individualism.
