Free Music Notes for The '70s: Original NBC Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Many omissions!
Hit: 1 Stars
I agree with another reviewer who noted that many excellent songs from the show itself are missing from the CD. A couple songs by Joni Mitchell and Rare Earth - rarely heard on classic rock radio - are two examples that come to mind. I'm baffled why 1)the best songs were left off the soundtrack, and 2)how it can be called a soundtrack with so many songs left out! I had intended to buy the CD but when I saw the list of songs, I changed my mind.Free Music Review: A terrible soundtrack for a terrible movie.

This disc is so mainstream, it's pathetic. NBC decided to take the safe road by repackaging a Ktel collection as a movie soundtrack. Where's Paper Lace's "The Night Chicago Died"? The Bay City Rollers? The Partridge Family? These lame acts were what the 70's were all about! They were too rebellious for this collection. So NBC puts on the disc songs we can hear in about three hours on your average oldies station? A pithy collection at best.Free Music Review: Bunk

The cover even shows a "legacy-haired" girl with Ziggy Stardust's "Lightning Bolt" make-up, but where's the Glam-rock song? Where's the pre-metal hard rock (Led Zep, Sabbath... the Who, for chrissakes)? Where's "Jesus Rock", where's Prog Rock (EL&P, Yes, King Crimson, Genesis), where are the roots of punk/new wave (Jonathan Richman, Big Star, The Ramones)? Where's KISS? This is obviously someone's Top-40 AM Radio recollection of the decade, and as such scratches only the flimsy top layer of a very formative period not only in music but in the collective zeitgeist. Too bad.

This is low-quality, anti-women, and of bad taste. Obviously, no feminists work for NBCFree Music Review: 70's?
Hit: 1 Stars
I don't know why people insist on remembering the 70's simply for its Disco invasion and the wealth of soul that was indeed coming into the picture around that time. People don't seem to remember all the great, innovative Rock music of the 70's. Groups like Queen, Genesis, Pink Floyd...these are the groups that make the 70's a great decade for music. This is not to say that the music on this album was not an important part of the 70's because it was. But in attempts to capture the essence of the entire decade one should never leave out Bohemian Rhapsody,The Wall...remember Abba? David Bowie? The Kinks? Hip-Hop had even already made its appearance with The Last Poets, Gil Scott Heron, Sugarhill Gang. I think there are too many unimportant & similar tracks on this album for it to be called "the 70's." It doen't even scratch the surface.
