Live Poll: Musicals of the 1970s - Flowers and Establishment
Intro:
The 1970s - Time of global political change. Time of free love, Blaxploitation, love, peace, and understand. But also conservative streamings of the establishment took place in the musical movie landscape. Musicals are an artful mirror of time.
So when you look back in time, which musical of the 70s is your favorite? If you are too young to remember, please vote for the one which seems to be the most interesting to you.
Chant your song here.
Suggestions:
Popular musicals released from 01/01/1970 to 12/31/1979. All kinds of streams; from hippie- to stoneage conservative productions. They should be known to a wide audience, so I set the "wanted popularity" to 5.000 ratings+. I know I got two musicals on the list that are under that border, so for ratings below 5.000+ I make amens if it is a real good candidate. So musicals with ratings under 5.000+ ratings are discussable. Vice Versa: If there are reasons why my lower rated candidates shouldn't be on the list, it's debateable, too. It's about diversity, so the suggestions shouldn't come from only one end of the society. The idea is too create a musical mirror of the whole society in the 1970s with that poll. Where everyone can find a little bit of her- or himself. Animated ok.

Grease.
Correction:
"peace, and understanding"
"conservative streamings" – perhaps "conservative currents" or "movements"

It turned out that many musicals have ratings below 10.000+ so I lower the wanted ratings in general to 5.000+. I stil do amens for diversity and style icons.
