Rock ‘n’ Roll: The First 25 Years - 1979. American audiences, who had long since developed an aversion to anything unpolished or raw, felt most comfortable with familiarity, for which reason #theeaglesband and #ledzeppelin both topped the chart even though their albums were markedly inferior to their earlier classics. #electriclightorchestra and #fleetwoodmac were also welcomed back with open wallets and #paulmccartney (pictured) made excellent progress in his quest to become the richest #rockstar in the world—despite his refusal to become a #british tax exile. Overall, however, sales had slumped and the turn of #theeighties saw the record industry reeling from too much ill-considered investment and drastically decreasing profits. #rockandroll #theendofadecadeisnear #nineteenseventynine (I was #classof1979 ) https://www.instagram.com/p/COERnDfra_3/?igshid=135bn2phsth49
