Question

How did the growth of the rock-music business in the 2nd half of the 1970s affect

the development of radio and expectations for album sales and profits?

Answer 1

Disco dominates the radio and dance floors in the late seventies. Punk rock, a throwback to sixties garage rock, emerges in the late seventies as a reaction to arena rock, progressive rock and disco. Punk becomes New Wave as bands move beyond guitars and drums, and begin incorporating synthesizers.
