The opinions are a little strong, but make for good '70's debate in the reader's head!
For any music fans who grew up in the 70's and is old enough to remember it, I'd recommend reading these books. These would be perfect books to bring on a long airplane flight or a vacation. Each chapter deals with one musical niche or artist or style, etc. The authors give funny opinions of the music and artists and are good at discerning how the public felt about the music at the time and how they likely feel about it now, looking back on it nostalgically. They do an excellent job of explaining how diverse popular music and a.m. radio was. You have to smile and laugh at many of their observations. And, best of all, these books make you want to revisit those old record again with fresh ears.
Wax nostalgic!

I'd recommend these two books to music fans who grew up in the 70's and are old enough to remember the music and pop culture. These would be perfect books to bring on a long flight or vacation. Each chapter deals with one musical niche or artist or style, etc. The authors give funny opinions of the music and artists and are good at discerning how the public felt about the music at the time and how they likely feel about it now, looking back on it nostalgically.

Brothers Don and Jeff Breithaupt bring up personal remembrances from the day as well as discussion of more technical stuff such as chart positions etc. All in all it is an entertaining and interesting read.
4.5. Out of 5 stars. Well done guys.
