There are loads of fans on 70s rock on these boards so why don`t this lot have a thread showing them love?

Is it because they didn`t sell zillions of records ?
Is it because they wern`t close personal friends of the Beatles?
Is it because they don`t have a song played every 2 minutes on some 2 bit radio station around the world somewhere?
Is it because they didn`t have a guitarist who always gets voted in 'best guitarist' lists despite not having made any decent records for 30 years?

Like recording 3 albums of sheer beauty isn`t enough these days.

So yeah all you classic rock fans , stop jerking off to stairway to heaven for 5 mins & check out the genius of Alex Chilton for a change.
