Santana

 

[u2valleygirl]

I love The Doors and Floyd. I also love Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey and Stevie have so much chemistry together.

 

[Flying FuManchu]

I believe every decade had great music. The media is stupid. They used to harp about how bad the 70s are and I think... what?!!?!

Jeff Beck, 70s Costello, the Clash, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie

...

 

[IWasBored]

the clash.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

This is difficult, because so many of the 70s bands I like bleed over into the 80s

Elton John
John Lennon
Bruce Springsteen
Zeppelin
Clash
Ramones
Pistols
Fleetwood Mac
Queen
Elvis Costello
Pink Floyd
The Eagles
Bob Dylan (Desire
Blood on the Tracks )

[IWasBored]

bruce springsteen.

dammit.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

bruce springsteen.

ok, now i'm torn between him and the clash.


dammit.

Why be torn between when you can listen to Bruce (along with Elvis Costello and Dave Grohl) cover "London Calling" and touch all the bases?

 

[IWasBored]

because in my head, i still see dave grohl's choreographed movements to the microphone, and hear steve van zandt's solo that shouldn't be there.



i was trying to pick one 'favorite'. for once i thought i could, but i was wrong. too much music out there. i have to make really narrow categories...like punk rock bands from boston who released their debut album on september 23rd, 2003. or something like that. there can't be too many of them. i can only think of one (and that 23rd date may be a little off, it was last year, i don't remember too well).


i'm listening to springsteen now. 'stolen car'

Don't be so hard on yourself...just go listen to 'Damn The Torpedoes' and everything will be fine

i don't regularly listen to stuff from the seventies except for blondie, the ramones, a little ccr, and, of course abba. i enjoy a little early michael jackson from time to time, too.

ahhhh the 70's
my high school years :happymemories:

I was a big Bowie fan, my bedroom was covered in Bowie posters .
My sisters boyfriend gave us a huge box of new release records, my best friend's older brother regularly bought records and my high school sweetheart in '77-78' had a twin brother and they both left school to work and joined a mail order record club I had access to heaps of contemporary music...so much of it so good
I am remembering who most often made it onto to my record player.
I'd say
Neil Young
Bob Dylan
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin.
Moody Blues
Jackson Browne
Bob Marley
Rory Gallagher
Jeff Beck
JOHNNY WINTER!

Carole King
Linda Rondstat

I had a record by an African drummer
Olitunji -Drums of Passion, that I played to death

it's very hard to choose favourites
the 70's
and now I am remembering going out dancing with my friends in '78 to dance to covers bands...so many great songs
new wave and punk, pogoing around and reggae, a real mixture....
some stop me
the 80's are a bit of a blur for me, but I do very fondly recall the 70's.
