Summary
After the dense miasma of the sixties, the seventies hit like a hangover. Idealism took a pounding as cynicism began to pervade western culture. Stagflation became a thing. Watergate, environmental disasters and an oil crisis proved there was even more to worry about than a Cold War. Individualism and personal greed began to replace the hippie ideal of universal love.Australia experienced a dramatic upheaval: a loosening of censorship laws, campaigns for women's, Aboriginal and LGBTI+ rights, and a new relationship with China. This tumult saw a remarkable blooming of pop music. Monumental albums were born: Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, John Lennon's Imagine, Carole King's Tapestry. Rock music splintered into dazzling shards, as technical innovations helped propel feverish experimentation.Vinyl Dreams is a fast-paced romp through the seventies, from the golden era of rock music in the early seventies, to disco, punk and new wave music in the later years of the decade. Brimming with fascinating stories, and tracing the revolutions that shaped the soundtrack of our lives, it reveals the power and enduring legacy of seventies music. was born, grew and evolved to become an integral part of Australian culture.
