Post a You Tube of your favorite Musician, band or both from the 1970's

[trumad]

Here's mine.

&noredirect=1

[Agschmid]

1. I was not born then... so I dunno...

Bummer huh?

[Son of Gob]

2. Anything with Neil

I wanted to choose Down by the River but that was released in 69.

[tinymontgomery]

6. Another great one

He put out some great albums during that time.

Some didn't like "Tonight's the Night" but I enjoy it.

&playnext=1&list=PLuv9OB_etMfPGMOXoCeSrlflZlwdRMfUq&feature=results_video

[Mojorabbit]

115. I admire your taste in music. :)

He is still my favorite artist of all time.

[phleshdef]

3. Zeppelin naturally...

Achilles Last Stand being my favorite Zep tune...

[tinymontgomery]

4. I don't have just one

I don't have just one as most of us don't but here are a few I never get tired of listening to:

Derek and the Dominos

Dead

Mid 60's to end of 70's was just great.

[antiquie]

100. Dead! New Year's with Donna!

Good choice.

[Denninmi]

5. They had music in the 70's?

I just remember a lot of noise.

[pipi_k]

11. Granted, it was a bit

primitive, but we did our best back then.

[RebelOne]

56. Nope, the music now is a lot of noise. n/t

[rocktivity]

7. With Zeppelin, Hendrix, Clapton, The Dead and CNSY already represented

10. Very awesome. nt

8. Queen !

Gallileo !!! Figaro !!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

65. +1000

[agracie]

67. Never saw them live. I was busy (and pinching pennies) raising kids during that time. Sure do ...

enjoy watching the concert videos on YouTube. 👨

[Laura PourMeADrink]

68. the only band that's even close to their unique style, to me, are the Moody Blues.

[agracie]

69. Got a favorite Moody Blue video to recommend ? nt

[rocktivity]

96. You're welcome.

[ZombieHorde]

9. Awesome choice. Here's mine: Six Six Sixties by Throbbing Gristle.

[kwassa]

12. Life During Wartime

Red Shoes

London Calling

[progressoid]

126. Excellent choices!

14. How Can I Tell You

[Teamster Jeff]

15. Little Feat

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. Return To Forever

and particularly their early incarnation. Joe Farrell’s sax solo in this tune still gets me high without lighting up. The album Light As A Feather has just one incredible tune after another.

Tower Of Power whose first public performance I saw in 1970 at the Berkeley Community Theater as the opening act for Jimi Hendrix.

The Tony Williams Lifetime, a jazz fusion power trio with the legendary Tony Williams on drums, Larry Young on organ and bass pedals, and Mahavishnu John McLaughlin on guitar.

And you can probably tell by my user name that I adored the great Mr. Hendrix.

[kwassa]

25. I prefer Spain.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

40. Yeah, best tune on a remarkable album

but I prefer the original 70's version of Spain with Joe Farrell on flute, Airto Moreira on drums, and Stanley Clarke on bass.

Here's another wonderful tune from that album with the vocal stylings of Flora Purim.

[pipi_k]

17. RIP

Brad Delp...

One of my favorite bands from the 70s

**************

Also, and although he wasn't exactly an overwhelming favorite, I did really like Elton John's version of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" better than the Beatles'

[pipi_k]

18. OK just

one more...

[Taverner]

19. Fleetwood Mac - She's Changing Me

[rocktivity]

20. This thread is useless without

21. Motörhead - Overkill

It would be too easy to do Zeppelin, the Stones or Black Sabbath.

[Baitball Blogger]

22. Missed it by that much.

But this is turning into my favorite radio station's dream playlist!

37. Mott the Hoople...."All the Young Dudes"

38. "Hold me Closer, Tony Danza" by Sir Elton John....

okay, so it was really Tiny Dancer. It sounds like Tony Danza...

[Rowdyboy]

39. Bill Withers...."Ain't No Sunshine when she's gone"...What can I say? The 1970's was "my" decade

From high school junior to 26 year old, it was my golden age.

[Rowdyboy]

41. Have no idea how I forgot Alan Price and "Lucky Man"....one of the best of a great decade....

[Rowdyboy]

42. 1970...The Kinks...."Lola"

[Rowdyboy]

43. Alice Cooper..."I'm Eighteen"...the song of a generation....

78. I love that song!

Brings back wonderful memories. Hey, what can I say? You get old and the old music just does something, know what I mean?

[vanlassie]

48. LOVE Nils.

Rain. One of my all time favorites.

[bluesbassman]

47. Quite a few of my faves have been posted already, but how about some Humble Pie?

These guys ROCKED!

[taterguy]

49. Kids of today should defend themselves against the 70s

It's not reality.

It's just someone else's sentimentality.

Mike Watt said it.

I believe it.

That settles it.

[Dr Fate]

73. And yet Watt plays bass with The Stooges, one of my fave 70's band.

Last edited Thu Feb 7, 2013, 07:01 PM - Edit history (4)

And his bass playing sure does sound A LOT like 70's era John Entwistle's playing with The Who.

In fact, in the Minutemen movie, Watt says that he used to get a lot of grief for blasting The Who's music at his practice space.

I'll bet Watt's collection contains the MC5, The NY Dolls, and at least a hundred other 70's bands that I could name-drop.

The maxim in revisonist punk history that "The 70's were a musical wasteland..." seems false as I collect more and more LPs. Lou Reed? Mott the Hoople? Bowie? Hollywood Brats? The Dictators? Stones? Todd Rundgren & Nazz? Rasberries? Flamin' Groovies? Sabbath? T-Rex? Ac/DC? John Lennon solo records? I'm just counting pre-1976 bands alone at this point. We still have 4 more years of killer bands to name-check after that.

My favorite Punks and Rock & Rollers dont judge music by the date it was created, but by the song writing, message, quality and feeling of the music.

[Dr Fate]

76. Argue with me, dammit!!!

I have not even gotten to Eno, Roxy Music, or even Milk & Cookies...

[WhoIsNumberNone]

There were a zillion good bands in the 70s- these are my faves...

[Loryn]

51. Lot's of great memories here!

[Loryn]

52. I forgot this one, the best Sunday morning, spark up song ever!

[malthaussen]

53. Maybe a little Rory Gallagher?

Not, strictly speaking, my "favorite," but I push him whenever I can, because he just isn't as well known as some of these other stiffs.

-- Mal

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

62. Boy I sure remember Rory Gallagher

I first saw him and his power trio Taste in 1968 live on French television in front of stacks of Marshall amps when I spent a year there attending college. Later in 1970 and back in the U.S. I bought their album with their hit tune What's Going On. There's a story that's gone around for decades (true or not) that Jimi Hendrix was asked in an interview how it felt to be the world's greatest guitarist and he supposedly answered "go ask Rory Gallagher". It wouldn't surprise me if he'd said that, as Hendrix was notoriously modest.

[RebelOne]

54. Blood, Sweat & Tears

[rocktivity]

55. Twelve minutes of ecstasy straight outta Chicago

rocktivity

[JeffHead]

57. What, no Van Halen?

Runnin with the Devil

[zipplewrath]

58. Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr

to take this in a totally different direction:

&list=PL32D8A10A4B6A7883&index=10


Yeah, I know, but it was tough being a folk music fan in the '70s. I remember him from The Mitchel Trio, but that was the '60s.

[DFW]

59. Pick any one of these three by Leo Kottke--if I hadn't seen this with my own eyes......

[Tom Ripley]

93. One of the greatest band names ever! Also, Michael Des Barres is an incredibly witty raconteur

Silverhead played great teen trash music (that's a compliment)

75. King Crimson, The Quicksilver Messenger Service

I'll add an acoustic bit by Jimmy Page. If life is playing its nasty game, challenge it with song.

86. Being new

I don't know how to embed things. But my favorite was Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon. On a related note I had tickets to see the Wall in Chicago. In preparation to go to the concert, we got to the point of forgetting we had tickets. A great regret, but we did have a good time that night.

112. Leon Russell - Here's From the Concert for Bangladesh (1971)

Here's his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011:

Here he is with Elton John performing the song "Monkey Suit" from their album "The Union".

[Still Blue in PDX]

119. I loves me some Leon. nt

[TexasBushwhacker]

121. I actually like This Masquerade better than A Song For You

Did you know he has cerebral palsy? He's partially paralyzed on one side of his body. He was taught to play the piano to help strengthen that side and make it more coordinated.

[Still Blue in PDX]

122. I didn't know that.

I like This Masquerade, too.

I always loved the song Superstar and didn't know until just a few years ago that it was one of his many songs. I'm so glad he's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If anyone deserves to be there, it's Leon Russell.

It's not the '70s and the quality is quite poor, but I like this video. Even young, without the hair and hat, this is pure Leon.

123. Creedence Clearwater Revival

Frontman John Forgerty got into a dustup with his old record label, who said he couldn't perform CCR songs as a solo artist. Of course, that didn't stop his audiences from requesting them, and he finally relented. The record label promptly hauled him into court -- and lost!!!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

124. Not a fan of this group in general but I kind of like this tune

This was recorded in 1979 but to me it sounds like an homage to the Beatles of the mid 60s. It sounds very Beatles-like. I don't like most of their other stuff but this tune to me is very listenable. The middle section reminds you of the Beatles' While My Guitar Gently Weeps. I've read that the group started out as a Beatles cover band.

Diamond studded man
Ruby coated plan
Makes my heart ache to think that money could take you from me
Midnight dream
Almost made me scream
Nightmares came now that money took you from me

(chorus)
Well, you're a flash tan queen from the southern shores
Like a rotten peach layin' in the georgia sun
Well, you can lay all day, get your back real brown
But a dollar can take away your frown

Fat rat queen
Golden limousines
All of these things just come between you and me, yeah

Lacy white gown
Just makes me wanna frown
My heart aches now that money's taken you from me

(chorus)

(solo)

Shakes me apart
Make believe hall
I'm feelin' like a flower stuck on somebody's wall

Midnight dream
Lord it made me scream
My heart aches now that money took you from me

Oh, you're a flash tan queen
