Author | Topic: Were the 1970s a Morose Decade for Music? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Percy Member Posts: 22480 From: New Hampshire Joined: Member Rating: 4.8 |
I could use a little Pandora assistance. I've defined a bunch of stations, and one of them is songs of the 1960s. This station plays lots of fun songs, so I decided to try the same thing for the 1970s, but I'm getting lots of kind'a morose music, here's the URL:
The groups I used to define the station are:
America Billy Joel Bonnie Raitt Edward Bear Gilbert O'Sullivan Gordon Lightfoot Hurricane Smith Jackson Browne John Denver Joni Mitchell Journey Leo Sayer Pure Prairie League Queen The Band The Eagles The Grateful Dead The Manhattan Transfer Wings Can anyone suggest a few groups to improve the mood a bit? --Percy

Jimmy Buffet. Or you could add Leonard Cohen and everything else will sound much more up beat.

Jimmy Buffet, good suggestion! I also just added Paul Simon.

Hi Percy,
Your list is entirely too white. How about some Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Sly and the Family Stone or Ohio Players? Also, you can't get much more positive than some of those anthemic Bob Marley numbers. Mutate and Survive

Hey, it listened to you without me doing anything! It just started playing something by Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughan on backup. And the previous song was Bob Marley!
Thanks for the suggestions! --Percy

Yep, it's played a couple Neil Diamond songs, but the morose ones like Solitary Man and Longfellow Serenade, but that was a while ago. Things seem to be pickin' up lately!

Boston, good one!
AbE: Things are getting better and better - as soon as I added Boston it came up with Kansas on its own. --Percy Edited by Percy, : AbE

Or Van Halen for that matter. Or Judas Priest.
