The year's about over, and I've been thumbing through my back file of CREEMS trying to recapture some of its feel. There's no doubt it was an important year for rock & roll, and for singles in particular. Basically, I think the most significant thing that happened to rock in "73 was the solidification of the new Seventies pop sensibility that began its emergence in 1972.
