The social conditions and their influence on music in the 1970s, the Greek reality, the artists, the songs, the records. The junta’s extravaganzas on one side, the political song on the other, with an electric underground at the margins. Folk, light popular music, neo-wave as a vote of confidence/tolerance toward what was dominant until 1974, well-crafted anthems with a popular façade and a fighting spirit – for the chimney that froze, for the enemy people, etc. – from the Metapolitefsi until the edges of the PASOK Change, with intermediate episodes from live performances at Kyttaro, Aphrodite’s Child, and Pavlos Sidiropoulos.

The glam rock, the sinful lives of legends David Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Freddie Mercury, the New York scene, the punk, the funk and the disco that followed, Motown, afrobeat, the solo paths of the Beatles, the stylistic shocks in conservative America, the Holy Grail of hard rock, progressive rock, and even eurodisco and europop, all exist here.

Together with extensive studies on the relationship between rock and classical music in that decade, the rise and fall of songwriters, the German scene, easy listening, early electronic music, fashion trends, and album covers.

For the first time in one edition, the entire (musical) decade of the ‘70s, in Greece and internationally, a whole world of music, with texts-studies, opinion articles, rare photographs, publications from the time, and delightful narratives that transport us to the atmosphere of the era.

And alongside, a complete guide with the best albums and the best songs of the decade, both Greek and international, as well as 70 “lost” albums, those that did not become widely known but are worth discovering for every music lover! With the credibility of the music magazine SONIK.
