It was a decade that spawned the Sex Pistols and the Vietnam War, platform shoes and Saturday Night Fever.
The Seventies also gave us The Godfather and Space Hoppers but those glam rock years will forever live in the shadow of the Swinging Sixties.

The Stones at their peak.
Stones at their peak up to Sticky Fingers. After that only a handful of decent decent songs.
Led Zeppelin at their peak
I was never a fan.
The Who at their peak.
Happy Jack...Can't Explain...I'm A Boy...Pictures of Lilly...etc. The Who at their best!
Elton John = totally devoid of talent. I think Keith Richard put it well when he observed that Lady Elton made an entire career singing about dead blondes.
You're problem is that you were probably born five or more years too late. The 60s were the greatest years for music! ;-)
Bernie Taupin was the talent. But I will say, Elton's band was probably the best band in the world in their heyday.
The Who Sell Out is a masterpiece.
It worked on me at the time.
“Hey, let’s be radical and do exactly what the Deep Establishment is manipulating us into doing!”
And don’t forget Theodore Robert Bundy!
Didn't he score four touchdowns in a single game?
1970-1974 was the hot period for hippies and such. We still had hippies near campus in 1977, many former military.
I can’t believe you included Boston and REO Speedwagon on that list with those other LEGENDS
While they were likeable enough, they were not any where in the same league as The Beatles, The who, Led Zepplin, and The Rolling Sones.
Sad isn't it?
There was a scene in the movie “Dazed and Confused”, where the teacher tells her students that when they celebrate the Bicentennial, they are celebrating “a bunch of white slaveholders who didn’t want to pay their taxes.” So you can pretty much see there when the rot really started to begin.
Double LPs.
And triple LPs. I think I still have one by Emerson, Lake and Palmer and maybe a few others.
The Last Waltz and Live in Japan.
Don’t Stop Believing...
Actually I like most of Journey’s songs but I prefer their rocking songs more than the ballads they seemed to obsess with later.
Once Greg Rollie left, it became the Steve Perry show, and they turned into a “Chick Band”.
8 track cassettes.
I have all that stuff.
KISS!
And an 8 track album sold for like 8 bucks, iirc. Real money back in them days. I had like 2 or 3 cases of them.
