does music from the 70s have any worth?

[Al B. Sure!]

oh wait there was marvin gaye

[Dinner]

There was some good stuff made in the 70's (there I said it!) but the problem was it was buried by a sea of utter crap music so you really have to look. Of course you just have to look at the fashions, cars, home furnishings, pop music, and what not from the 70's to understand that for the most part the 70's can be described as an unfortunate laps in judgement.

Steely Dan alone is worth more than the majority of todays bands combined.

There were some diamonds in the crap... You just had to keep your ears open for them.

[Drake Tungsten]

What about 38 Special? Or Styx?

[Al B. Sure!]

I got a feeling marvin gaye was the best thing out the 70's... am i wrong?

[notyoueither]

When haven't you been?

[MRT144]

marvin gaye was the greatest singer ever imho

[Dis]

arggh!

There was tons of freakin' good music!!

I'm so tired of people saying the 70's sucked for music. These same people in a different conversation will say the 80's sucked for music. And in yet another conversation they will say the 90's sucked for music. Then what did they listen to the last 30 to 40 years!!!!!. Unless they listen to classical music, I don't listen to people that say music in a particular decade sucked.

Trust me, there is plenty of good music out there.

OK I'll name a few bands to get you started

This was the decade for heavy metal and hard rock. R&B also had some good ones as well.

Black Sabbath. It was mentioned once. But their best music was in this decade. All the Ozzy albums. They pretty much sucked after he left the band

Deep Purple- already mentioend many times. Songs like Child in Time, Fireball, Hush, too many others to mention

Blue Oyster Cult- these guys aren't mainstream, they aren't for everyone. They had some interesting stuff though.

Fleetwood mac put out their best album titled Rumours. Spawned Stevie Nicks career.

Blondie- she was kind of pop, but still had a harder style that was nice.

Led Zeppelin- 'nuff said

AC/DC!!!!!!! no one has mentioned them. The Bon Scott years were better than their newer stuff.

Electric Light Orchestra- a lot of people won't like them. I liked the classical influence in rock, so I liked them.

The Eagles- another band no one has mentioned!!

Jethro Tull- already mentioned

Lynrd Skynrd- already mentioned

I think the B-52's also got their start in this decade. They are a fun pop band

Bad Company- good British hard rock band

Foriegner- I think he came out in the 70's as well.

The Doors- The lasted until 1972 I think when Morrison died. The L.A. woman album was their last.

bob Segar

boston- they only had a few I liked. But they were a good few songs

Bruce Springsteen- he got his start in this decade. He is pop/rock and not for everyone though.

I think Budgie got their start in this decade as well. British heavy metal like this helped define modern bands like Metallica. Hence why metallica did 2 covers of budgie.

the Cars- they also got their start in the 70's I believe

Chicago- they were kind of light- but they had a few good ones


anyways I am going in alphabetical order from my playlist. I am only in the C's. So I don't intend on putting them all here

[Hueij]

Budgie

Whoa...! Finally... I'm not alone anymore

Nah. I have an album of theirs but they didn't stand the test of time

"Boney M style Eurodisco trash acts that ****ed over the good stuff"
Come on now, man? you can't diss his greatest song "Rasputin"!
That was actually a seriously cool song.

Oh absolutely, but this is why the top 10 is considered worthless nowadays, no one takes any notice, especially not if looking for good music.

"Steely Dan alone is worth more than the majority of todays bands combined."
A way overrated band. A lot of their faux-jazz stuff is just lame, and gives me the impression of elevator music! Deacon blues Ã…SS!
I can't believe that Albert S. (fat albert connection?) doesn't know the history of 'his' music. Good god man, get with the program! Don't you know Grand Master Flash! What a genius he and the other ground breakers of hip-hop were! They all started in the seventies.
Rapper's Delight came about in what I think of as the experimental stage of hip-hop.
