A Subjective Selection Of Great Music From The Seventies... - Part 6

Nils Lofgren – “No Mercy” And “Keith Don’t Go”

I don’t know a lot from Nils Lofgren, just two songs really, “No Mercy” and “Keith Don’t Go”. Nils Lofgren, who has had a long solo career, also worked with Neil Young in the Seventies, as well as playing in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band for 25 years. But I didn’t know that until just […]

I won’t claim to know the individual tracks, I only heard Doldinger’s music for the first time in 1983, and liked it. Here are some tracks I have found from […]

Gary Numan – “Cars”

At the very end of the Seventies, late 1979, I remember Englishman Gary Numan singing “Cars”, from his album “The Pleasure Principle”. In fact, whenever I hear it or think of Gary Numan or “Cars”, it reminds me of being in not a car but a Transit van, at 4 o’clock in the morning. We […]
