About the Song – Ode to the ’70s

The 1970s was a decade of change; bold, messy, and unforgettable.
It was an era that saw Australia take huge steps forward:

• The end of the White Australia Policy.

• The end of conscription.

• The first recognition of land rights for First Nations Australians.

And running alongside those social and political shifts was the heartbeat of the decade was the music.

The ‘70s carried the fire lit by the ‘60s revolution, with artists who turned amplifiers into megaphones and lyrics into protest banners. Their songs didn’t just fill the airwaves, they spoke for a generation.

Ode to the ‘70s celebrates that time of the freedom, the defiance, the soul. It’s our tribute to the bands and voices that inspired us to pick up our instruments and play, and to the era that reminded us music could truly change the world.
