Do you still regularly listen to 70s music?

prowla

Mostly.

(and 80s.)

((some 90s.))

(((a smattering of noughties.)))

To a large degree than yes I do - Is it based on nostalgia or just music I like - Both - I was in my teens during the 70's but what I listened to at the time would mainly be commercial radio play list - Queen, Slade, Glam, some Thin Lizzy and other chart hits 

But at the time I did not know who Steely Dan were - ditto many other great bands that you find out about later as your interest develops 

However - During the 70's I developed an interest in Yes - Had most albums on vinyl - But you grow out of such bands and almost stop playing the albums - Then one day in HMV they had a 3 for £10 clear out on CD's and amongst my purchase was the Yes Album - I thought why not as I had not played it for years and did not have it on CD - Wow what a load of crap - I still have a soft spot for Steve Howe playing The Clap - But the rest was just not me anymore

Yup, lots. The 70s was the era where I really got interested in music big time and I still have a load of 70s vinyl (or it’s the vinyl I owned at one time that’s been replaced with CDs ). Mostly rock, prog and jazz fusion. Yesterday I listened to Budgie, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Hawkwind, Can and ZZ Top.

Yes, I listen to lots of bands and musicians who are now in their 70's.

All the time. If I put music on it's more likely to be from the '70's than any other era. Not surprising really as my music tastes were formed then and music meant more to me then than it does these days.

bertie

yes -  90% of "my music list" is pre 80s

its as much about "taking me back to a place"  as the content of the music

Almost all of the above plus a lot more.  I am 68 now.  I spent my life every night after work one way or another listening to IMO some of the greatest, most original music that was being created in the post-war 20th century explosion.  Because that was what was there.   Looking back I was incredibly privileged to be in the right place just some of the time.    I still listen to what I think is the greatest music ever made as many nights as I can via recordings and youtube.  I never dreamed the internet would make it possible to access the sort of stuff I can get now with a click of the mouse.

It was at the time (I'm 67) but as Guitars4 you said, listening back to some of it now it was crap. I've been disappointed a few times, almost to the point I wont play old stuff anymore because i don't want to spoil the memory of it being good.

I was a big fan of the Groundhogs at the time and thought 'Who Will Save The World?' was the bee's knees. I daren't play it now, just dont want to spoil the memories.

Bellycaster

Yes, lots of mixed genre 70's music.

I was born in ‘79.  Odds are if I’m listening to 70s music it’s Sly, Funkadelic or something like that.  But I like vintage rock, too, in doses.

70s music is way better than 80s music for the most part, though.  At least the mainstream versions of each.

Mainstream versions yes, music in general, absolutely no way.

Lots - my favourite musical decade.  But I also like a lot of music from now.  There IS stuff I like from the '80s but it's probably my least favourite decade of the 7 I've been on this planet.
