Will have to come up with a list but it’s going to be hard.
I’m with you on some of the tracks listed James……..
Mouldy ol Dough? What are you thinking of Tank?

Ahh but I think it’s what memories they bring back to you that make them your favourites not the quality of music. Glitter Band? What were you doing when that came out Sandie?

I’m sure I’ll have some doozies in my list too. Depends on how honest I am I suppose.

Tanktop – Excuse me fishman why do you run my choice down Have you been paid by James, Mouldy old Dough not only goes down well at 70s theme nights I also tipped it to reach number 1 so don’t get so EGGSITED

Rennie – LOL I wasn’t running your choice down matey.
Just wait til you see mine *chuckling* bugger dropped me jubbly!

Sandie – Give the man a BIB….
Remembering that we may still have words to say when we read your choice Rennie ~~~~~~~~~ Stay out of the way of my Klackers or you may get knocked in the Knackers………….

Tanktop – You tell him gal, back of holiday and he thinks he runs the place I just thought I have the power to add and take away points so tread carefully Rennie Be nice to me and sandie otherwise you can call us Bonnie and Clyde

I started building Escape in 2005 and in it’s early form I had the pleasure of a great 70s community. Sadly with Escape’s new design we couldn’t incorporate the old threads into the new forum but so we don’t lose all those magical old chats we’ve collected them all here for you to go back and read.
