Tim Friedmann's 70's Rock Conversations Timothy Friedmann

This week, Frankie and I discuss the year 1980. Disco had finally ended, but what kind of Rock 'n Roll remained?...Also, our new category "Best Intros" gives us one by Zeppelin--the other by Steely Dan. And, Frankie has a great idea for the new topic "Hey! I thought someone else did this one!"...by the Canadian group Red Rider. Enjoy!

We're kicking off Season 11 this week with a look back to the end of the "Disco Years"--1979! But there was still a lot of great rock 'n roll as we rounded out the '70s (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Pat Benatar, Bruce Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, The Cars to name a few!)...we'll also be kicking off some brand-new topics this season, including one we've been looking forward to for a long time, "Best Intros." Enjoy!

We hope you enjoy our look back at Season 10; which included our interview with local musician George Sipl, and our Featured Years from 1967-78. Season 11 kicks off next week with our Featured Year 1979.

We round out Season 10 with a look back to the year 1978! Frank and I have some great music to play, as well as some of our favorite topics including "Did The Grammys Get It Right," and "Frankie Makes the Grade." Next week, we'll have our Highlight reel of Season 10--brand new episodes resume in a couple of weeks with Season 11.

1977 will be our Featured Year as we move through the 70s into the early 80s. Frank and I discuss one of the best years of rock, including the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Frampton and even Andy Gibb! One more episode to go in Season 10--next week the year 1978. Enjoy!

This week, our Featured Year is 1976, as we make our way through the 70s and into the early 80s. Tim will have a lot to say about prolific songwriter Otis Blackwell, who penned big hits for Elvis like "Don't Be Cruel," "Return to Sender," and "All Shook Up." Otis wrote over 1,000 songs! We'll have a terrific "Cover vs. Cover" segment as well; one from the '60s--then re-done two decades later. Enjoy!
