You are probably right. I was born in the 70s so like most people tuned into music from the age of about 7, so the 80s has been hardwired into my make up.
Mid to late 80s, things began to get interesting, then it all went to shit.
Noisy bands became two a penny grunge and tuneless unimaginative riot girl shite etc. Independent music became club wank.
I think I started listening to 70s music in the 90s.

FACT have done a list of best LPs of the 1970s now:
http://www.factmag.com/2014/07/14/the-100-best-albums-of-the-1970s/
It's quite good but I am alarmed at the low placing for Devo's debut.

03. ALICE COLTRANE
Universal Consciousness
(Impulse!, 1971)
Eli Keszler: “I came across Alice Coltrane’s record Universal Consciousness in high school while sifting through my town’s public library collection. The library seemed to have gone on some kind of jazz reissue and avant-garde buying frenzy in the ’90s, and I completely immersed myself in it.
me too! stumbled on it in lewisham library - had never even heard of Alice before. what with spotify etc i dont go to lewisham library anymore but they have some great cds in there. Love that record, my fav Alice Coltrane one

I'm not sure if it's the case everywhere, but in my local library they let the librarians choose what music to buy - it's (iirc) a quid to take them out, and all the money gets ploughed back into buying new CDs.03. ALICE COLTRANE

They have an excellent selection of blues and black metal in the preston library, which reflects the tastes of the two most forceful members of staff...

yeah ms invita got me into lewisham library, shes a big reader, and the buyer there buys lots of hot off the press american important fiction (which she loves) including stuff you cant even get in bookshops in the uk
i just googled it though and i see theyve done a selection of tracks from their 100 list

yeah, it's nice but I think they're stretching it a bit. They just want to nail that proto-techno grail don't they? In which case they should have gone for Igor Wakhevitch's Hathor...
I've just noticed that Fun House seems mysteriously absent from the list. I'm guessing this oversight will be rectified by the evening edition.

Anyway, 20 Jazz funk greats is a worthy number 1. I read Chris & Cosey's interview about it, and found them (yet again) quite dull. GPO might be a bit of a bell, but s/he gives much better - and imo more intellectually stimulating - interviews. I watched a 90 minute interview with him the other week, which isn't something I'd ever planned...
the interview is this btw - seriously, it's essential for anyone with an interest in TG. it's just Gen talking to a camera for 90 minutes about growing up, Coum and TG. It finishes after TG sadly, which is a shame - I'd love to hear him talking in similar detail about PTV, Psychic Youth and the like.
