This week In ’70s Throwback’ 07/52
Elvis Presley's "Polk Salad Annie" thrives on theatrical stage energy with karate moves and Southern gothic tones, while Heart's "Magic Man" blends personal storytelling and polished rock sensibilities driven by Ann Wilson's commanding vocals. Kate Bush's "Moving" opens her debut with a haunting whale song and delicate piano, celebrating graceful physicality inspired by her mime teacher, Lindsay Kemp.
Deep Purple’s "Burn" combines medieval lyrics with fiery guitar work, showcasing their Mark III lineup, and Black Sabbath's "N.I.B." flips the usual doom narrative with its playful take on Lucifer falling in love. The Pretenders’ "Stop Your Sobbing" transforms a Kinks classic into a sharp, modern-retro track with Chrissie Hynde’s blend of vulnerability and bite. ELO's "Evil Woman" mixes orchestral lushness with sly lyrics, gliding effortlessly into mid-’70s charm.
