Well when i first went to Clifton Hall back in the early 80's (Some 20 +years ago)

70's and even fairly new releases (Curtis etc) where getting spins so in my experience this has always been a part of my personal soul odyssey.

So to answer your post, yeah absolutely, you can even hear 70's sounds occasionally at the 100 club, which is reknowned for it's strong and exceptional 60's playlist.

I THINK THATS THE REASON WHY I RATE "WILTON" AS THE BEST NIGHTER AT THE MOMENT,,,,,

A MUSIC POLICY ....WHERE THERE IS NO POLICY...

FANTASTIC SOUNDS FROM THE 60s - Y2K

AS MUCH AS I ALSO LOVE THE 60s SOUNDS....I THINK THAT THERE IS ENOUGH

QUALITY 70s TO COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER.......

Always was (well, since 1st January 1970 of course) and always will be a place for it. Nothing wrong with having personal preferences or 60's only nights of course but the true Northern room should embrace both decades (and dare I suggest even a little early eighties, how brave is that LOL) to retain its authenticity.

Like I give a toss what anyone thinks - I know I've got better musical taste than you so why argue about it?

I hate smug people who think justbecause they like 70's records they think they are a cut above anyone who doesn't like it.

Er...no...I couldn't give a toss about 70's or whatever...you are free to like whatever you like and vice versa. I'm just winding you up and you're the only one on the board who doesn't realise. Well done!

she shouldn't have tried woman to woman though - blasphemy

have you heard her version of love, need and want you though? - sublime - kelly who? thats the problem with contemporary r&b, too many squeaky voiced manufactured artists at the forefront and so people don't look behind

been listening to ray ray a lot recently too - that man (rapael saadiq) is a genious - on par with curtis (mayfield) IMO

Thing is you can go to a Northern night and here wishy washy 70's that been played out more than some oldies :lol:

I love seventys myself, but some can get very boring, a seventys tune will catch on and it will get hammered and hammered, you end up detesting said tune's IMHO

agreed, very good point :lol:

bluddy hell....is this turning into a sensible discussion about 7ts/modern?

lets get back to some sectarian abuse :lol:

Guest taylormadesoul

I agree , i love the 60s sound, but there is so much top notch music out there to

listen too and enjoy,,,,why just stick with one era,,,

that i cant understand,

nothing wrong with that i suppose....

but ive always had the thought if its good ,it doesnt matter what decade its from

:lol: I've looked through all the boxes, record lists and guides but cant find a mention of either of these 2 groups. How rare are they???? :ohmy:

No you're not...you're destroying a once great scene with your disco music

link

better than your 'Pye Disco' demand bollox! :ohmy:

Posted (edited)

I think that the best 70`s tracks are so popular because us old folk can happily dance to the slower tempo and not need a lung/knee/back/ankle transplant after a session on the dancefloor. :ohmy:

Had all the above and 'binned 'em'.

They start out as so so records in the first place then reach the new dizzy moribund heights as 'Norvern Modern clazzzzics'.

With the exception of Bobby Reed I suppose coz the flip and Better side still has some yardidge!

Fair comment...Ace Spectrum is one of THE most overplayed tracks regardless of era :ohmy:

Guest taylormadesoul

totally agree with that one......

admit there is some 70s shite played..but also some awesome tunes....

If it didnt have that break in it where everybody looks around at each other thinking "watch me, I can clap in time to this" it wouldnt be played. Might as well be an instrumental! :lol:

Who does that other version of Don't Send No One Else? Think it might be a Motown group.

i have been ever present at the Wilton for 5 years or so now and the recent playing of that Y2K stuff leaves me feeling cold.

I hate to hear it at the Wilton to be honest.

I can hear that kind of soul in my local trendy bar/club. I don't mind it in those type of places but not the Wilton.

Just my opinion.
