I ascribe my longevity to never liking that new fangled stuff and sticking with Elvis.

I used to have a copy of "Argus" back in my uni days. Just listened to "Warrior," "The King Will come" and "Throw down the sword" .... can't believe I used to like this stuff!

Give me Dua Lipa, Joyce Jonathan or even k-pop any day. Something to dance to .... well, shuffle and twitch to these days :)

I still enjoy Argus from time to time.

Got 10, or so, of their earlier albums on CD.

Techno II

1972, Jim.

Best rock album of the year, and top British Album, as voted by 'Sounds' and 'Melody Maker'.

Cheers - Phil. ;)

Heard of them but never heard them. Late 50's and 60's are my time👨‍🦳🤪

Naw, still listened to The Beatles then when I wasn't having hearing problems which resulted in a couple of bouts (maybe three) of surgery.

1972? Slade and T-Rex and Crazy Horses. And a whole load of other stuff I can't remember and is probably embarrassing as hell anyways.

I didn't say I was up to date in 1972.

It's 2021 and I still listen to The Beatles. And I still have trouble with my hearing.

1972.

Machine Head - Deep Purple

I'm sure those weren't the only albums I bought that year.......By a lot. ;)

Zippee

1972
I'd expand that purchase list with:

Black Sabbath - Vol. 4
Blue Oyster Cult - B.O.C.
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Hawkwind - Doremi Fasol Latido
Lou Reed - Transformer
Status Quo - Piledriver
Thin Lizzy - Shades of a Blue Orphanage
Uriah Heep - Magician's Birthday

I may also have bought Slayed but not sure that's cool to list  :o

Ithoriel

In 1972 I had just gone to uni and discovered live music was not just Gilbert and Sullivan (annual trip to see whatever show Dad and his brothers were in) or church music (a decade spent as a choirboy) but included Rock, Folk and Pop.

Ah, the heady days of the Festival Fringe, seeing half a dozen shows in a day and spending around a quid for the privilege!

Slayed ?.....No..That's not cool.  ;)

B/S Vol 4......Worth having for 'Supernaut' alone.
BOC.....Love a load of their stuff.
Hawkwind ?...DRMEFSOLATIDO......Never sure why I replaced that on CD. ....Met them a GW, when I took a few piccies of them.
I WAS impressed (I've said this before) when I was asked, "Is it alright if we roll a spliff,"....and I said, "I'd rather you didn't,".......and they were very good...and didn't make a fuss.

Quo ? ...saw them twice in a month on the early 'Piledriver tour'.......My ears were almost bleeding after the second 'gig'.......I couldn't hear a thing for a day and a half.

Lizzy....Great band.....I can still enjoy 'Live and dangerous', to this day.

Heep ?...Another of the early 'gigs' I  went to.......Still love a load of their stuff.

Cheers - A Sad old F*rt. ;)

sunjester

Blue Oyster Cult, Lou Reed, Thin Lizzy and some Hawkwind still sound good to me! What about The Moody Blues?

But then I was only 10 in 1972! :) :P

Techno II

Moody Blues ?

Nowt wrong with them, Graham.

(Some bl**dy good tunes, over the years......"Lovely to see you again, my friend".....That's going back a good few 'minutes'.)

Cheers - Phil. :)

Funny enough Phil, we were just listening to that track last night (whilst we were waiting for friends to join us for a virtual cocktail hour on Zoom!)
