Radio Veronica heeft onlangs de lijst der lijsten uit de jaren '70 bekendgemaakt: de Super 70s Top 770. In deze lijst staan de grootste hits uit het decennium waarin disco, rock en pop hoogtij vierden. Maar wat maakte de jaren '70 zo super?
Allereerst was dit het decennium waarin de jeugdcultuur een grote rol begon te spelen. Jongeren wilden zich losmaken van de normen en waarden van hun ouders en dat uitte zich in muziek, mode en lifestyle. Denk aan de opkomst van punk, glamrock en disco, maar ook aan de hippiebeweging en de bijbehorende flowerpower.
Ook was het een periode van grote veranderingen op maatschappelijk gebied. Er waren veel protesten tegen de Vietnamoorlog en voor gelijke rechten voor minderheden en vrouwen. Dit zorgde voor een gevoel van saamhorigheid en verandering.
Terug naar de Super 70s Top 770: deze lijst bevat een schat aan muzikale hoogtepunten uit het decennium. Van klassiekers als "Stairway to Heaven" van Led Zeppelin en "Bohemian Rhapsody" van Queen tot discoknallers als "Stayin' Alive" van de Bee Gees en "I Will Survive" van Gloria Gaynor.
