Robert Palmer
Electric Light Orchestra
Elton John
Iggy Pop
Journey
Boston
Cream
Jim Croce
BTO
BOC
Foreigner

who am I missing.....?

I got some great 60s collab going too...
Like, Canned Heat, Troggs, Mamas & Papas, Doors, Hendrix, etc.....

looking for 70's right now though...

Journey :2 cents:

Already in the list bro...

Skynrd :thumbsup

Opps I fucked up :(

Pink Floyd

Fuck! How did I miss Floyd? I've got everything they ever did.

:thumbsup

MC5's- Kick out the jams motherfucker!

Black Sabbath.

Gotta add a couple...

Styx
Sweet (Ballroom Blitz & Fox On The Run)
Toto (maybe 80's.... need clarification)

I didn't include Sabbath because... technically.... Sabbath goes from 1960's to Present.... not really defined as a 70's era band.

Steve Miller, Eagles, Blondie, Aerosmith....


can't wait to get into the 60's stuff! :)

Yes and no..

The ozzy years with Sabbath were from 70 to 79. Most people refer to Sabbath from that original lineup. Before that, they were a blues band called Earth. In 70, they released their first record called Black Sabbath and last ozzy album is never Say Die released in 79.

In 80, they released the first Dio record and I have to say it was also a good album.

PS: all this to say that yes, the 70s is the decade of Rock genius.

I'm violently opposed to all Sabbath involving Ronnie James Dio. Ozzy Sabbath is the "Only!" Sabbath, ( in my opinion )

Nice call! Forgot about Montrose.... and Iron Butterfly as well.

The Ramones.

Nazareth

KISS
Steely Dan

Nice... I counter with: Kansas :)

Forgot to add a little AC/DC too :)

i guess they started in the 60s but i;ve always thought of deep purple as a 70s band.

God I was hoping to avoid Kiss....


That's gonna hafta be a whole thread by itself.

You knew someone was going to say it :winkwink:

Yeah don't forget Edger Winter, James Gang all good stuff

So a question is, while I would consider Iron Butterfly a 60's band as that was when they were formed and had their one and only hit. Consider Led Zeppelin, who is widely considered a 70's band. However, they also formed in the 60's and also had a small hit with 'Whole Lotta Love'

Which is the correct?

Zeppelin is 70's... IB is 60s.

Lou Reed
Frank Zappa
Queen
Blue Cheer
Robert Fripp (and a bit of King Crimson)
Gong
Pink Fairies
Spirit
Santana
Goblin (italian, did soundtracks for Argento- Suspiria,Deep Red)

Good call..... I consider them multi-awesome.

They span decades, like many others.... Ozzy, Sabbath, Stones, etc.... Tough to confine them to one era. Masters, of course....

Uriah Heep man! :)

Cream - definitely a 60's band. (debut in '66)

More 70's:
Van Halen (debut album in 78, VH II is '79)
Queen -- put out 8 albums before 1980 starting in '73
Rush -- put out their first 7 albums in the 70's, debuted in '74
Supertramp - Debuted in 1970, put out 6 albums before 1980 (most of their best work)

now this is the fucking shit, CRANK up the volume on this bitch and get your ass blown out-

Goblin circa 1978

Most ultimate band of the 70's for me personally - Thin Lizzy

Starting with 1975 Fighting till 1979 Black rose that was a major streak of albums that all have my very own hall of fame status.

What they recorded before and after never had the complex feeling anymore.

I played them just yesterday and thought I must get sick after all those years - it still worked.

Better said 1970 till 1973 band :winkwink:

Another 70's band missing - Rainbow

Aerosmith's song "Dream on" was an absolute anthem through the 70's.

Fleetwood Mac
Genesis
Jethro Tull
Grand Funk

Tom Petty has a few albums from the 70s

Iron Butterfly would be 60's. :2 cents:

nevermind then Tom Petty is ruled out

Hawkwind and later formed Mötorhead should also classify as 70's

Makes me wanna play "Silver Machine" right now

I was going to say Hawkwind but am never sure about anyone other than myself knowing who they are. You're a true classic rock fan Carlos.

I'll add UFO to that list.



HEART -- debuted in 75-76, put out first 4 albums before 1980.

You forgot The Clash

I had Bad Company, J Geils, ZZ Top and Ted Nugent all playing on my eight track car stereo back in the day :thumbsup

Thanks man, I sure appreciate the compliment when it's from you.

One essential huge name from the 70's still missing:

Mr Vincent Furnier from Detroit

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/...ice_cooper.jpg

His last albums are actually very much underestimated - superbly gifted songwriter.

Peter Frampton
Molly Hatchet

Another one who made his mark in the 70's although with 60's roots, Rory Gallagher:



He was always like the Irish Johnny Winter for me.

I don't know how well known he is these days though, not many kids listened to Rory around here.

You need to move Cream to the 60's.

For the 70's you can add Mott the Hoople and Frijid Pink.

Rolling Stones.

Humble Pie

Joan Jett
Three Dog Night
The Band
Bad Company
T. Rex
David Bowie
The New York Dolls
Rush
Springsteen
And of course, ABBA.

Has anyone mentioned 10cc yet? Thanks to this thread I have the "I'm not in love" song repeating in my head. Not really rock but, annoying. :)

The word annoying doesn't even begin to describe that pathetic crying. But, yeah, the radio stations played that one to death.

Speaking of radio playing songs to death . . .
