DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PONY, LIKE BONY MORONIE?
Thanks to folks like Patti Smith, the true teen spirit of rock n roll was still chipping away at the god-awful rock mainstream of the early to mid-70s.
Intelligent, challenging and exciting, her invigorating debut, "Horses", foretold the spirit of DIY inventiveness that would brighten up the second half of the decade.
Patti’s group were far from alone as punky agitators in New York at this time – The Dictators can lay a bona-fide claim to the first Punk LP, with at least 4 tracks from their March ’75 debut being Punk by the classic ’77 definition of the term. In Europe, Klaus Dinger’s vision of what Neu! should be, was sneering and snarling at stadium rock with 2 fingers in the air – one for each chord.
’Pon de island, U-Roy and Burning Spear took full advantage of the Wailers having a breather, and grabbed the headlines at home and abroad with their intensely exciting long-players.
Despite operating against backgrounds that were incredibly tough and oppressive, there were terrific African LPs in my chart this year from Moses Mchunu (South Africa), Ikenga Super Stars of Africa (Nigeria) and Teta Lando (Angola).
Oblivious to fashion and trend, Sir Bob Dylan was BACK this year with gravel in his guts, and spit in his eye – and that’s music to my ears ; - )
