The Late 70s.
It was the time of 'Grease', Meat Loaf, 'The War of the Worlds', The Knack and "Y.M.C.A.".
Punk and New Wave made further inroads with The Clash, Patti Smith, The Ramones and The Buzzcocks.
Chic kept us dancing while rap emerged via The Sugarhill Gang.
The Eighties began with music going in new directions, but 1980 ended in tragedy.
Hear music from the era from Devo, Talking Heads, The Jam, Tubeway Army, the Doobie Brothers, Supertramp, Kiss and the Boomtown Rats.

West Coast America offered up The Eagles, Philadelphia became a musical hub through acts such as The Stylistics and Suzi Quatro emerged as one of the first rock chicks.
