What made 1970 a memorable year in music?

[Ygggdrasil]

Mine's just a play on my initials. "Twig" is often taken, so I just threw in an extra "g" and it stuck

I am also a fan of adding an extra "g" when my typical username is taken.

Username stories are interesting. Do you agree?

No.

"Pinball" is a 1974 song by Brian Protheroe, I added 1970 because that was my favourite year of the series the rock and roll years.

Deep Purple were on TOTPs along with Free, Lindisfarne and some other great acts.

I think that was first time I had seen DP Mk2 on TV

A sad year too, the Beatles split and Hendrix and Janis Joplin died.

Bittersweet.
