The latest instalment of Grapefruit's popular year-by-year overview of the British rock\/pop scenes of the 70s. Featuring big hits, intriguing misses and key album tracks from 1974 as well as a clutch of alternative versions and unissued-at-the-time gems. Although 1974 was dominated by the country's crippling economic woes, the British rock and pop scene continued to flourish. The more creative element of the glam rock spectrum inspired a host of new bands, with Cockney Rebel, Be-Bop Deluxe and Sparks coming through to establish themselves alongside genre heavyweights Roxy Music, T. Rex and Slade. London's pub rock circuit saw stalwarts Brinsley Schwarz joined by early Ian Dury outfit Kilburn \u0026amp; The High Roads, Ace (who scored a hit single with the timeless 'How Long') and Dr. Feelgood, whose aggressive attitude and slashing, guitar-based brand of tough R\u0026amp;B influenced a whole new generation of musicians. Ace and fellow classic one-hit wonders Brian Protheroe and Splinter took their place in the singles chart alongside Rod Stewart, Status Quo and Bryan Ferry, while there were inexplicable misses for Ronnie Lane and former Bowie sideman Mick Ronson. Many rock bands eschewed the self-indulgences of early 70s prog-rock to adopt a more streamlined sound, exemplified by vital albums from Thin Lizzy, Man and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Established mavericks Peter Hammill and Kevin Coyne continued to attract a cult following, Lesley Duncan and Bridget St. John represented the distaff side of the singer\/songwriter scene, while Richard And Linda Thompson released the classic folk-rock album 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 'In' Crowd - Bryan Ferry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hasta Manana Monsieur -Sparks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Judy Teen - Cockney Rebel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Billy Porter - Mick Ronson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Man Who Couldn't Afford to Orgy - John Cale 6 Jet Silver and the Dolls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Of Venus - Be-Bop Deluxe 7 She Was Just a Young Girl (No Way) - Simon Turner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pinball - Brian Protheroe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Poacher - Ronnie Lane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Philomena - Thin Lizzy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Break the Rules - Status Quo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cajun Kick - Medicine Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Another Day - the Spencer Davis Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poor Ditching Boy - Iain Matthews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e If I Were a Carpenter - National Flag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Doctor Doctor (Single Edit) - Ufo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lock and Key - Snafu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Papa Don't Go - Jona Lewie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Put a Record on (Single Version) - Tramp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In My World - Chalice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e As Long As You Want Me to - Rescue Co.
