70's Sunday
« on: September 28, 2008, 08:25:19 AM »
I thought I'd combine a day thread (unseasonably hot and sunny here) with a walk down Memory Lane.  So post your favorite cheesey songs here, enough with the good taste let's celebrate 70's pop.

This certainly was an interesting day in history.  Today? Not so much.

Quote
Sep 28 1066
Duke William lands 7,000 troops at Pevensey, Kent. Thus begins the Norman conquest of England.

Sep 28 1850
The United States Navy abolishes the practice of flogging. Among the crimes for which this was the penalty are: stealing poultry from the coop (12 lashes), being lousy (6), stealing a wig (12), and being naked on the spar deck (9). This reform is perhaps the signature moment in Millard Filmore's presidency.

Sep 28 1920
A Cook County grand jury indicts the Black Sox 8 -- the White Sox players paid to throw the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. Even though they are found not guilty, Commissioner Landis bans them all from professional baseball for life.

Sep 28 1978
A nun at the Vatican discovers the lifeless body of Pope John Paul I, formerly Albino Luciani, in bed. The pontiff had been on the job only 33 days before unexpectedly dying in his sleep, after having taken some sort of pills with dinner. The church refuses to grant an autopsy.

Sep 28 1989
Former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos dies in Waikiki, Hawaii, after three years in exile. He was in ill health, and awaiting US charges on looting funds from his country. His wife keeps the cadaver in a refrigerated coffin for years.

Sep 28 1994
The ferry Estonia suddenly capsizes in the Baltic, drowning 852. The vessel sinks in less than five minutes, making it impossible for more than a handful of passengers to make it to the lifeboats. Many of them die trapped in their cabins.

Sep 28 1994
The world fails to end for a Borneo doomsday cult based in Sabah, after authorities arrest nearly 200 members, more than 50 of whom are children. The armed group was garbed in yellow robes and intended to perform a human sacrifice before the End Time.


Think I'm going to go work on my bike.  It's a nice, cool 75* right now.

Those first two weren't just cheesy, I think I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw them.

And Wild Cherry?  Really?  Maybe that's just a guilty pleasure of mine--that and the camel toe from the original album cover...

Another 70's "guilty pleasure"...but it DOES have a kickass bass line...

Eh, not entirely.  You just had to look a little harder.  Some of the great stuff from the Stones came out then, not to mention Rush, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Frampton, Zepplin...you get the picture.

I was just teasing, most of my music collection comes from that era it's fun to look at the dark side of the decade sometimes though.

The sixties and seventies had a large sub genre of death related songs so not surprising they'd come to the fore, also popular were lyrics centred around telephoning other people.
