1976? Interesting and quite specific choice of year. Any particular reason?
Pre-punk?
Nah, I'm sure the Pistols were around before then. I can remember gig reviews in NME.

The 90s were the decade that I 'got' electronic dance music; techno, house, breakbeat, drum and bass. I had some of the best times of my life on the dance floor in that decade. They were also the years when I put the most amount of miles on bikes and did the majority of the track days I've done. I'd happily go back to the '90s...
Late 70s early 80s in Bradford was amazing.

Yebbut they didn't arrive in the public consciousness until December 1976 on the Today show with Bill Grundy.

Kind of got drawn in as following Cabaret Voltaire they got more 'dance' but the rise of the independents like Rough Trade and Factory was :thumbup: But even back in 'mod' days when Motown was all the rage the labels like Chess and Stax were the engine room. It's like the music industry has tiers...there's the fluff on the top and the good stuff underneath. Awards ceremonies seem to be all fluff...because it shifts units. :(

Sammy boy broke with these singles which were hard to avoid if you had the (music) radio on.

I noticed (peripherally) that Wet Leg got an award at the Brits. If so, they're one of the few non-manufactured bands to have risen to the heady heights of awards ceremonies without being fluff-tastic.

And Atlantic label soul (so Northern Soul in essence). Strangely, I arrived at a love for old Motown, Stax and Atlantic via Dexys Midnight Runners! (First album, not later crap)
