Kiss

Information about kiss should go on the kiss page as it does not need a subsection in this article. Information about kiss should instead be discussed briefly in one of the already avaible subsections of this article.

AC/DC

May I ask why Australian rock group AC/DC are discussed in the "America" section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.3.106.75 (talk) 04:43, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

"foreign"

foreign from where? Wikipedias readers are international. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.86.74.23 (talk) 13:39, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

References

this article has no references. while the links to musicians should for the most part have references showing the artists link to this decade, the essay like quality of this article needs its own references, unless the phrases here come from the artists articles, and are themselves sourced, with sources showing the same language. I am not impressed by these decade articles: generalizing about events in a decade is not very encyclopedic. the lists by year make more sense, and make these articles unnecessary for the most part. However, it is true that mainstream journalists constantly refer to events by the decade, so if enough articles are sourced that talk about the subject in this manner, then having these articles works.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 15:42, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

"R&B and urban" vs. "country"

Why is the R&B and urban section listed as "primarily an african-american genre" but the country section doesn't list it as "primarily a european-american genre?" Weren't most country singers in the 70s white? I don't think either designation is necessary but if you are going to use one you should use the other otherwise it seems like the article is saying only black people made and listened to r&b but everybody made and listened to country (which obviously isn't true). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.135.219 (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

The Who

Does the who not exist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.185.24 (talk) 03:29, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Bohemian Rhapsody ??

I was just wondering why people, even now, still underrating major Queen contribution through music history, especially through the 70s. In 80s and 90s sections they are just listed (not even about stadium rock, live aid etc) and I was hoping to see more about them in 70s article but nothing. The whole article is typically american-based mainstream journalism (such as unreal Rolling Stone critics), counting names and years. Nothing specific: no clear definition, no real highlights of decade, just random names and dates, even some british bands are in USA section. It's really not fair not to mention highlights from bands such as AC/DC, The Who and Deep Purple. And Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody (later We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions), that's the first real music video, had a major success and impact. And stop putting Queen always in glam rock section. They may be part of that during barely one (or two) albums. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.0.168.73 (talk) 02:15, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

And I agree with guy who wrote that readers are international. Please don't let everyone write major articles. Lots of young people will read this article some day and this article should be professional, objective and have its structure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.0.168.73 (talk) 02:21, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Hip Hop

There is no mentioning of Hip Hop on your page. If you talk about the 70s, you have to talk about the origin of hip hop in the 1970s. (173.61.1.105 (talk))— Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.61.1.105 (talk) 23:58, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Joy Division, Television, New Order

How are some of the peeking elements of this decade being missed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6008:5:54A4:C356:C3D9:668F (talk) 00:10, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

The downplaying of Nuyorican Salsa here is in conflict with the Wikipedia Salsa article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salsa_music#1970s which begins: "In 1971 the Fania All-Stars sold out Yankee Stadium."

The 1970s in music article makes the incorrect statement, repeated in the overview of the 1980s, that salsa didn't catch on until later is demonstrably wrong, as stated in the (far superior) Wikipedia Salsa article: "The first salsa bands were predominantly Cubans and Puerto Ricans.[9][10][11] The music eventually spread throughout Colombia and the rest of the Americas.[12] Ultimately, it became a global phenomenon. Some of the founding salsa artists were Johnny Pacheco (the creator of the Fania All-Stars), Celia Cruz, Rubén Blades, Richie Ray, Bobby Cruz, Ray Barretto, Willie Colón, Larry Harlow, Roberto Roena, Bobby Valentín, Eddie Palmieri, and Héctor Lavoe.[13]"

All these artists were at or near their peaks in the 1970s and it was indeed a global phenomenon in the 1970s. In addition to Spanish speaking countries, there was a huge salsa scene in Africa with many African salsa bands and the Fania All Stars were received there with wild enthusiasm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevintimba (talk • contribs) 09:40, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
