    16/16 Should think so too, this was my era, 70’s, Left school 1969, 1st job, got married, had 1st child, loved loved the music, disco era, Bee Gees, best time ever was a busy decade for me and an awful lot of changes that we all usually have to go through.

About This Quiz

The 1970s were when icons were born. After the swinging 60s, musicians experimented with their sound, look and entire persona in more extreme ways. In London there was punk, with The Sex Pistols and The Clash leading a tribe of pierced, leather-clad young upstarts. In New York there was the CBGBs scene of unattainable, insouciant cool. From somewhere in space landed David Bowie and Marc Bolan - two otherworldly angels at the forefront of glam rock.

Relive the magic with this 1970s music quiz. Can you name the singers and groups from that decade?
