I will agree that it all died the day the first disco record was sold, but to write off the mid-70's completely is kind of . . . overkill.

Let me clarify. I consider early to mid-seventies as from the time Yoko, along with Paul's first solo album, killed the Beatles, to the time of the Ramones, Pistols and Blondie which clearly fall into the mid-to-late 70's. Let's say, for the sake of argument, 71 to 75.
Lets also say, my list of 60's holdovers was not exhaustive, but Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Clapton, Creedence, et. al, all were holdovers from the 60's and could usually not be smelt on AM radio at the time.
I'm talking here about songs you would hear in the car, and regrettably, my parents were driving early 60's Chevrolets and Plymouths with AM radios. FM was for AOR listening stoners such as yourself.
The rest, overproduced corporte bullshit. And for the record, southern-fried-boogie rock generally sucks, especially Skynyrd, though Duane Allman was a fucking genius. I clarify, yet stand by what I said.
