Black Sabbath.


This. I was thinking this the other day listening to War Pigs. That came out early Seventies, I think. To think that Elvis was topping the charts roughly a decade before that. Music changed so rapidly from 1960 to 1970. Black Sabbath had to have sounded like they were dropped down from outer space when you think about what it must have been like hearing that on the radio for the first time back then.

I think I would throw the Police in there as well. Late Seventies, early Eighties Police sounded like nothing before it. Message in a Bottle, Walking on the Moon, Invisible Sun etc. They heralded the coming Eighties sound in the late Seventies.

Growing up in the late 60s early 70s there were so many "who in the hell is this" moments. They were endless actually.

But I remember where I was when I first heard Hendrix, who was there, the song and I literally felt it in my heart.

It was Stone Free.

And I said, who in the hell is that.
