The music of 1976

[Ravenbyrne]

Was having a wee chat we w00kie and Mairead at dinner on Saturday night about how music brings you back in time and memories. The boys below featured in our conversation

Anyway turned on the TV this evening and BBC4 showed a recorded Top of the Pops 1976.

I was only 13 when these guys were in the charts and I do admit to liking them although I never did wear the tartan.

What did you listen to in the 70's

You may need a little help... Find the best picture of yourself that you want her to see and post it here. Then we'll point out the bits that need, erm, improving so that Melissa gets the best first impression of you.

Christ, I hope Geraldine never notices this thread

I watched it too.

Ah. Memories of the long hot summer of '76. Only problem was I on yet another Tour in NI.

There was some really good music back then but the Bay City Rollers epitomised the worst.
