“Thing sure have changed since we got kicked outta high school …”
#rocknrollhighschool #70srock #rock #rockmusic #theramones #music #musicsky #musiciansky Rock 'n Roll High School opens in theatres on August 24, 1979. The title song becomes one of their classics, and the film gains a cult following. I have it in the collection but, like Riff's math book, I only bring it out on special equations.

So Far
CSNY release their first compilation/best-of album on August 19, 1974. They released this album after that monster summer stadium tour in 1974. The band didn't want to release a "greatest hits" album after just two albums, Graham Nash called it "absurd." It's sold over 6M albums. So far. #CSNY #sofar #70srock #classicrock #davidcrosby #stephenstills #grahamnash #neilyoung #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #jonimitchell

Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow
#ritchieblackmoresrainbow #ritchieblackmore #hardrock #heavymetal #70srock #ronniejamesdio #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Back in '75, Ritchie Blackmore was growing tired of Deep Purple's move from hard rock to funk and soul. The 1974 album, Stormbringer was the last straw. He thought recording a single would get him straight, sought out Ronnie James Dio to sing and recorded a cover of Quatermass' "Black Sheep of the Family."…
