From the album Living in the 70’s (1974)
“Living In The 70s” by Skyhooks appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2018. It was first released in 1974 on the album Living in the 70’s. Its best result is #72 on the Triple M Ozzest 100 (2018).
Skyhooks announced themselves in August 1974 with "Living in the 70's", their first single and the title song of their debut album, and it climbed as high as 28 on the Australian charts. Bassist Gregory John Macainsh wrote the words and the music, Graeme "Shirley" Strachan fronts it, Bob "Bongo" Starkie and Redmond Symons work the guitars and Imants Alfred Strauks keeps the beat, with all four players piling in on the backing vocals. Ross Wilson produced it and John French engineered, and the thing wears its decade right there in the title, loud and proud.
The band took it onto Countdown to play it live, and it has lasted: in 2018, Triple M's Ozzest 100 filed it among the most Australian songs of all time.
