To continue our journey through the theme, let’s move on to the next decade, the fairly wild 1970s.

 

As with the previous music-themed Word Scramble, bear in mind that these are all British bands that were formed during the 1970s, as perhaps you may associate some of them more with the '80s when they were more popular. A few of them are very obvious ones (have I heard the term punk?) whilst others are more left field (see what I’ve done here?) picks. Also, no solo artists or acts, just bands.

@pgn 😂
Thanks for the pun, and for partaking in the game!

Maybe you'll get to use that one on a future Word Scramble 👀
Talking about Blur, Damon Albarn just released his new solo record last week and I found it to be very beautiful. If you are curious about it here's a taster:
