Then " The King" ate one too many deep fried cheeseburgers and left the building.
1977 was a turning point for music. I respect you have your views but I have mine. Elvis has nothing to do with the progrees music took then. Music was depressing and didn’t say anything about life in the UK at the time. Late 70s punk and early 80s new wave changed that. Listening to a Supertramp tune or a Joy Division one said a lot more in my life. One was some US band I couldn’t relate too , the other said it all

Where in my post is the US band hidden?

That’s not my point. You said 1977 was a bad year for music and The Clash Janie Jones, summed up what a crap music year it was. What other people think about music is up to them. I’m just saying at that time, the late 70s were a pivotal point in how my generation felt about music. I’m not disagreeing with you, you have your views and I have mine.

All good, Tony. My post was a piss poor attempt at humour.
FWIW I too loved the Clash and Strummer was one of the very few that fully deserves to be considered iconic.
Back to remedial humour school for me

No worries Mr H .. Very true about Joe Strummer. “ Punk, you lost that grubby feeling “. Lovers Rock (London Calling), great line. Sums up wannabe punk bands in the 80s

1976 was a good year
Joni Mitchell's Hejira, Eagles' Hotel California, Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life, the Stills Young Band's Long May You Run, Frampton Comes Alive and Bob Dylan's Desire (with Hurricane) were the soundtrack of my year along with an LP version of the FA Cup Final commentary, even though I'd been at Wembley for the actual game. I probably looked at the cover more than I played that one.
Perhaps we could use "At one time he could have been the champion of the world" for Jamie Jones. It might lift his spirits.

There was a rumour that Dylan was a Spurs fan and he had actually written it as The story of the Harry Kane.
