Weeeell, I wouldn't quite put myself forward as a seventies expert, but I'll state for the record, it's when I came of age, and everyone has a soft spot for music of the era of whenever they were first in love; most songs are love songs, after all. Saying a song sounds like the seventies could never be a knock to me, because I consider it to be the peak of the analog era in terms of the technology, and in terms of the songwriting and musicianship, an improvement on the sixties, if only because more performers wrote their own music during the latter period; it was the golden age of the singer-songwriter, and the Troubador was ground zero.

been doing a lot of homework into this to try and gt to the bottom of it!! At the moment I think it is the slight overuse of vocal double tracking, I certainly hear it on Gerry Rafferty!!

Also It could be that I only know of / inspired by the 'hits' from the 70s and so in a way not being cool! Compared to those that lived through the era and know more of the underground vibe at that time ha!

I can't deny it was probably growing up with my folks and folks friends all playing/making covers of all the 70s greats that are stuck in me and that would make up 80% of my desert island collection

all good fun, This has somewhat made me poss split in two directions, one for personal cd stuff which the quote fits, the other what I am hoping for here at Taxi which is to get a tune in a neat film

been a great shake up / humbling eye opener all this!
