Oh, it's not about importance .. just preference! I was just stating a rather useless opinion. The end of the 60s and early 70s are anyway very exciting!

The Kick Inside
The Grease movie is released and Franki Valli's theme becomes a hit. My younger brother liked Grease and so on a trip to London with my parents, his suggestion to see it was favoured to my idea of watching the phantom
Sex Pistols play their final show.
I'd include more about punk, but most of the punk I like is actually from 79 and up a few years.
