Based on the book The NME Rock 'n' Roll Years, this text is part of a series of books which take a look at the main popular musical influences of each decade. Each page contains the main stories of the month together with a chart toppers box showing the No 1 US and UK singles and albums. A record section at the end of the book provides a statistical analysis of the charts. Many look back on the Seventies with affection, wry amusement and occasional disbelief. It was the decade that ushered in the era of the supergroup and gave rise to glam rock, the Philly sound, disco fever and punk rock.
