If you are going to discuss pop music from the year 1973, then you have no choice but to wade through the ‘mixed bag’ of that era.

In the ‘60s, we saw pop stars develop into album artists. In the seventies, those same artists continued to focus on albums, while a new breed of pop stars existed solely for the singles market. That scenario left us with one of the most splintered, weird and diverse pop hits you could imagine.

This show revels in that variety, with a handful of really great singles, offset by some commercial swill – just for comparison’s sake, of course!

1) Alive – The Bee Gees
