RANKING: THE TOP TEN UK BANDS OF THE 70S

from Classic Rock And Prog Almanac · host timothyappleton

Peter, Shaun and Tim discuss their favourite Top Ten UK Bands of the 1970s. The discussion includes: the difference between cultural importance and musical importance, punk versus pre-punk genres, whether we trust one band to write better than another, and why we had so many honourable mentions. Also, who were the real heirs to The Beatles? Why did Phil Collins play on everybody’s records? Did Shaun preempt early US rap music? And what does lampooning mean?
