This one is for 70's music. Nominate them here.

Aren't you like 12? Why are you starting posts on 70s music?

[MEbenhoe]

Fleetwood Mac
CCR

[zaxx19]

Led Zeppelin...

Competition over, nothing to see here. That group completely owned rock over the decade and it isnt even close. Also it should be noted Zeppelin has tremendous cross over appeal to fans that dont usually listen to tons of heavyish rock.


Honorable mentions:CCR(a closeish 2nd), Elton John, The Wailers, Stevie Wonder,Pink Floyd, Al Green and about a dozen more soul/r&b singers...

[JeffO]

Led Zepplin

Pink Floyd

[2planka]

what the other guys said, plus a couple of funky bands:

Commodores
Parliament

[istewart]

I actually agree with zaxx, except for him not putting the Stones in.

[ucfryan]

Zeppelin, this one's easy.

[JeffO]

Throw Neil Young in there also.

Well, since nearly all of their best albums came out in the 70s, INCLUDING London Calling, my vote still stands.

[Benal]

AC/DC

To quote Jimmy Page himself: "Even when
Led Zeppelin was mediocre, we were still better than everybody else."

This competition is only interesting if you don't allow Led Zeppelin to compete.

[TimTimSalabim]

Yes

Coincidentally The Stones are probably my favorite band.


Just dont really think of them as a "70's band"

similiarly Im not sure I see The Who as a 70's band even though most their stuff was released in the decade.

I also find it troubling more people havent mentioned CCR.....they friggin rock.

David Bowie deserves a mention, no?
