Super Seventies RockSite!


Welcome to the Web's #1 fan-run Seventies music & culture destination! This site is dedicated to what was (in our humble opinion) the overall finest decade for popular music in the past forty years -- the Super Seventies! Major features include "The Classic 300" Seventies rock/pop album review; a Monthly Spotlight review of other classic Seventies albums; the inside story on 200 popular Seventies singles; News Updates about your favorite Seventies artists; a Seventies Almanac where you can relive the "Me Decade" year by year; a Seventies Daily Music Chronicle with hundreds of important and influential happenings of the decade; interviews with Seventies Superstars -- "in their own words"; a Seventies Archive with lots of cool files about Seventies music and culture; Trivia Quizzes and Games where you can test your knowledge of Seventies music and play classic memory and word games with a Seventies twist; a MIDI Jukebox where you can sample some of your favorite Seventies tunes; a Seventies Bookstore where you can reexperience some of the bestselling books of the decade; a Photo Gallery by one of the Seventies' most noted photographers; an overview of the Seventies' Greatest Album Covers; a Poster Room featuring over 75 cool Seventies posters that you can buy; a Seventies Lyrics Hit Parade with lyrics to 300 great Seventies tunes; a 2008 Seventies Smiley Calendar with different cool smiley graphics for each month; a Seventies Celebrity Portrait Gallery featuring 170 illustrations by many top Seventies artists; plot descriptions of 300 Popular Seventies Movies & TV shows; and lastly a current news feature on a major Seventies artist in the EXTRA! section.

By the 1970's, the term "rock & roll" had become nearly obsolete. Pop music had splintered into a multitude of styles: soft-rock, hard-rock, country-rock, folk-rock, punk-rock -- and let's not forget that often berated dance craze that many of us loved to hate -- disco!

But whatever sub-genre(s) you preferred, rock music had suddenly become big business. Those of us who scraped together enough change to buy "I Want To Hold Your Hand" in the mid-Sixties now had more than meager allowances to spend; we were entering college, getting grown-up jobs and plowing much of our expendable income into Marantzes, Pioneers, JBL's, and LPs (remember those?) by everyone from George Harrison to the Bee Gees to Peter Frampton to Donna Summer.

So get ready to get some intruiging insights on all those great albums and singles you loved in the 1970's and continue to dig to this day. Why not light some incense, turn on the black light (and/or the Lava Lamp!), cue up Led Zeppelin IV or some other Seventies classic, give a knowing wink, and mutter to yourself, "Ah, those were the days..."
