Youths rebelled against the genre as well and it was not uncommon to see a few music fans sporting "Disco Sucks" T-shirts. Progressive rock was another popular genre during the s.
This type of music was typically characterized by rock music combined with another genre, such as classical or opera, to create a hybrid genre. Songs from this genre were often longer and bands tended to be more spontaneous and experimental while they were playing live. Many progressive rock albums were also concept albums, meaning that they followed a theme throughout the entire album or series of albums.
The band Pink Floyd were known for their concept albums and were considered some of the best in the genre. Their concept album — The Wall — was a psychedelic album that explored the loneliness that one feels due to the metaphorical walls that they build up around them.
This album used philosophical lyrics and a variety of musical styles throughout the songs to exhibit the message that they were trying to get across to the listeners. Jethro Tull was another British rock band that also created concept albums for their audience. They had a unique vocal style combined with the dreamlike sound of a flute to help the listener immerse themselves into the songs that are being played.
Their "Thick as a Brick" album was composed of essentially one track on two side of the album. This track consisted of repeating themes and movements that helped to mesmerize the listener. They also used a variety of genres to create their one-of-a-kind sound, including blues, jazz, rock, and classical music. The punk rock genre also emerged in the s.

This band consisted of a group of family members that based their image on The Beatles but their music was much harder. Or the intro to the Bond classic Diamonds Are Forever? Film composers were also producing some of the most iconic music of the decade as well.
Sometimes both. Bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple marked the beginnings of metal, while Rush and Genesis created elaborate concepts to undergird their lengthy albums. The life-affirming music had an impact that is impossible to measure.
Label—wise, Fania was once again the dominant player, an imprint that perfectly balanced progessive sounds and commercial instincts. Glam and art-rockers took this question to the logical conclusion throughout the 70s. The best glam songs rocked as hard as anything else, but did it through a sheen of glitter.
Sparks and Frank Zappa , meanwhile, proved that you can have a laugh and create timeless music at the same time. I would have to include Free and Argent. Wonderful Life by Colin Vearncombe aka Black should be there on the top since we are listing songs. Just a few too add to a great list. How many of the others had a musical based on the songs THEY wrote run on Broadway for over 14 years? Your email address will not be published.

Each went their separate ways appearing on solo albums. The pop and rock music world, which The Beatles had forever changed, would never be the same. Past groups were making a comeback. Everyone was taking advantage of the diverse genres options. The Mamas and the Papas were revived, making a new album. Sonny and Cher came back, as did Perry Como. The Beach Boys turned their music to an older audience, those who had listened to them in their earlier days.
Sammy Davis Jr. The cryptic 8-minute long song captured the hearts and minds of the entire country for the first two months of the year.
