*The* 1975, because pop SEO has to work in STN's favour at some time. The year of Rollermania, Whispering Grass, Sailing and the UK's best selling album being The Best of the Stylistics. Disco took off with plentiful American number ones and the Bee Gees' patronage. Bob Marley at the Lyceum was the public face of an underrated year in the progression of the golden age of reggae, as you'll see reflected in the closing suite of this playlist. Blood On The Tracks. Wish You Were Here. Horses. A rugged American songwriting hero in waiting simultaneously on the covers of Time and Newsweek magazines. Slade In Flame and Tommy proving two sides of the same music-filmic coin. I'm Not In Love. Bohemian Rhapsody. Peter Gabriel leaving Genesis. The Rolling Thunder Revue. Saturday Night Live beginning. Sean Lennon's birth. And in a once quiet corner, Punk magazine and the first Sex Pistols gigs. Meanwhile, back in the worlds of where glam meets pop or proto-punk, soul looks bleary-eyed at the dancefloor and funk and Krautrock do their particular, peculiar arrythmic things...
