Forgotten 70s Bands Deserved More 💔

Not every '70s band got the spotlight they earned, and it’s wild how some legends like Poco and Little Feat are still left out of the Rock Hall. The real drama? Bands like Badfinger had Beatles backing but were wrecked by tragedy and shady management. Fandom still debates why Sweet’s glam hits or 10cc’s genius didn’t blow up worldwide. Is it bad luck, bad timing, or just the industry playing favorites? These bands shaped the decade but never got their due. #70sMusic #ForgottenBands #MusicHistory #RockLegends #Underrated #Entertainment

How one LA music shop shaped rock history

Imagine a single music store where legends like the Eagles, Joni Mitchell, and Bonnie Raitt didn’t just shop—they found their sound, swapped stories, and leaned on the owner for advice, gear, and even life guidance. Fred Walecki’s Westwood Music wasn’t just a shop; it was the beating heart of LA’s music scene, a clubhouse where artists jammed, confided, and connected. The personal touch—matching musicians to their perfect instrument, offering a listening ear, or even a home-cooked meal—helped shape the music we still love today. What do you think we lose when places like this disappear? #Entertainment #Music #MusicHistory
