Free Music Notes for The '70s: Original NBC Motion Picture SoundtrackFree Music Review: Same story, WHERE ARE THE GREAT SONGS FROM THE SHOW? Hit: 3 Stars
This screened here last night, and i enjoyed it, even though it never really took off in terms of capturing the atmosphere, you were pretty aware you were watching 200# people pretending they were in the 70s.But, not terrible.
Anyway the soundtrack I found sensational almost,
so when I did an Amazon search, how pleased i was to find there is one, given that the show was a telemovie, and as such, the morons included no music credits as happens with proper cinema movies, like this.
But great, there is a sound-track CD!
and its cheap!
And it....includes only a fraction of the great unidentified songs!
So though cheap, i maybe wont bother! It needed a 2-cd set, and include the less-played songs.
anyway, who can at least identify them for us, someone should list the actual sound-track here, I challenge them. im particularly interested in one that had the words 'Big Brother' in the chorus, if anyone knows, as someone will, please email me, ill be grateful. pfarnell@optusnet.com.au
Free Music Review: retrogazing fun Hit: 3 Stars
Now that everyone's asking 'remember the '70s?' instead of 'forget the '70s,' NBC's documentary on the decade has spawned this strong collection born and raised in the Me Generation. What you get is a transformation of sorts, from the early soul stylings of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations and Barry White through the tempered rock and folk experimentation of Free, Jefferson Starship and Cat Stevens right up to cursory cuts of disco and new wave (Hot Stuff, The Hustle, Heart of Glass). Bob Marley's reggae classic Three Little Birds makes a nice diversion, as does Billy Preston's Nothing From Nothing. But some of it exposes the weakness of the period as well as a sorrowful synopsis of the artists represented; among them Elton John's Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me, the Allman Brothers' Jessica and Three Dog Night's Joy to the World, a fact minimized in severity thanks to the abscence of Disco Duck, Teddy Bear and Having My Baby.
Free Music Review: Is this the best they were able to come up with? Hit: 3 Stars
The 70s, despite what alot of people may think, actually had a great smorgasboard of music. Rock, soul, r&b, funk, punk, even disco. While these are some fine tunes, if someone carefully researched all the archives of 70s collections out there they could've done alot better compiling the songs for this soundtrack.
Free Music Review: And Now anther bad Mini Series form NBC Hit: 3 Stars
The music by itself is great. But, shame on NBC to try and make money off of those who love 70's music. I think those of us with a brain know where to find 70's music without paying for it again. Check out discjockey.com and streem it in for free. Next NBC will probably do the 1980's, How Original!
Free Music Review: WHAT! Hit: 3 Stars
Sure, very nice songs representing the 70s. Obviously, we all know there was more going on in the music industry though. And where is Eric Clapton? He has to be the most successful artist in the 70s! I DID HEAR LAYLA IN THE MOVIE!
