Rock Evolution – The History of Rock ’n’ Roll Year by Year

[RobMCFC]

@RobMCFC what's the scoop on years in subsequent decades, are they up for grabs yet?

Even though we are only asking for the 60s initially, I think we can make a note of what people are saying here for subsequent decades. Anybody who shows enough interest should be encouraged!

 

[RobMCFC]

I could write about 1967

Naturally, I’ve been looking ahead and making notes and that is a VERY good year.

They say if you were there you can’t remember it…

Can you pick more than one year?

Agreed, just wanted to know if I can put in a early bid for 1980 !

Eventually, yes. I’m just trying to make sure too many of the years aren’t snapped up before people have had chance to check out the thread. Hard to tell how many people are willing to put in the hard work of coming up with an in-depth write-up. I suspect with your writing skills you’ll comfortably get to writeup two years if not more.

As one of the thread runners I’m sure we can allow you to reserve that year.

I originally nominated myself for 1997 so will stick with that however I'm happy to try and make a case for any other year if it remains unlocked. Happy to write nonsense in defence of any year

You bastard.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

That slimy weasel @threespires took the ONE year I really wanted.

I will do 1994.

 

[RobMCFC]

This is all good. Tomorrow, I’ll go through what people have said so far and put a list of years up on post #1.

Obviously we are initially looking for people to fill out the 1960s to get us started but Saddleworth, threespires and I will plug any gaps as necessary.
