Rock of Ages

Ah, apparently you are never too old to rock. Imagine a 92 year old war bride (that is World War II!) singing The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go.” Or, how about a 78-year-old man grooving out to James Brown’s “I Feel Good.” If you are having a hard time conjuring up this picture, fear not – there is a new documentary called Young at Heart that will show you the senior rockers that have been rocking out for some 25 years.

When I first thought of this blog, I thought “Oh man, this will be easy.” Turned out it was actually difficult. There was a lot of good music in the 70s from all genres. There are albums I overlooked, but this list is my own personal list. 10.

He incorporated in it all the social issues of the time including poverty, drug abuse, and war. 9. Van Halen – Van Halen (1978) This album shows … Continue reading →
