Im doing a project on the 70's in my rock and roll history class and I need an artist or group from the 70's to do it on. I don't want anything that was too mainstream, but I want something good.
ideas thus far: VU Can Throbbing Gristle |

'70s
a few: Foghat (ROCK 'n' ROLL) James Gang (also The Eagles, I suppose---Joe Walsh is a gifted player) Marvin Gaye (started late '60s, best period in '70s) John Lennon (solo) with Plastic Ono Band Al Green (started late '60s, best period in '70s) Neil Young & Crazy Horse (Buffalo Springfield, CSN&Y started late '60s, w/ Crazy Horse in '70s) Creedence Clearwater Revival Parliament/Funkadelic The Cars (started late, known as '80s, most likely, better than who you listened to today) Devo (started mid, known as '80s) Sparks Frank Zappa Deep Purple (started late '60s, best period in '70s) Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band (started late '60s) Kool & the Gang The Carpenters Ramones (started mid) Led Zeppelin (started late '60s, known as '70s band) Pink Floyd (started late '60s) Talking Heads (started late, known as '80s) Bruce Springsteen & the E. Street Band (best period is '70s, known as an American icon, but also '80s primarily) Sex Pistols (along w/ Bruce Springsteen, they are the disco killers!) New York Dolls Harry Nilsson Iggy Pop solo Lou Reed solo Alice Cooper ZZ Top (started late, known as '80s) Van Halen (started mid, known as '80s mainly) Patti Smith Group King Crimson Brian Eno & Robert Fripp The Kinks (started '60s) AC/DC w/ Bon Scott The Doors (started '60s) Grateful Dead (started mid-'60s) Queen Stevie Wonder (started early '60s, best period in '70s) Fleetwood Mac Personally, I would probably pick David Bowie (started '60s)/Matt Ronson's band, aka Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders From Mars... |

Are you just looking for a band that existed at some point in the '70s, or one that existed throughout the '70s?

yeah - teenage jesus & the jerks '76-'79
voidoids, like talking heads, would be more '80s i guess (so would some of those I listed quickly earlier today) although i guess blank gen came out in '77 just like th '77 thunders solo from dolls would be '80s mostly although So aLone was '78 and heartbreakers are definitely all '70s, baby I've been meaning to do a T-friendly d/l thread with my live Hell & Thunders rarities i've made a couple of '70s comps, but actually just started one the other day of live only..."classic rock live"...i've only got a few songs picked-out so far |

In the '70s, it was
Patti Smith Group. fishmonkey, TheDom, don't be dissin' the Lenny thatta way with your egregious omission. she'd probably be bussin' dishes with Suzanne Vega right now w/o his guitar and friends. Radio Ethiopa is best. |

You could cover the "Rock In Opposition" scene with bands like Henry Cow, Slapp Happy, Matching Mole and the like. Most of these bands drew up their own manifestos and a lot of them had strong Communist leanings. Also, a lot of interesting music came out of these groups, which tended to be prolific and spawn many offshoots.

Edgar Winter. 'Frankenstein' is worthy of it's own anything.

good lord, narduar the human serviette jokes about gentle giant & yes (the only reasonable explanation) and we still have to suffer with them here?
Look, you laser-light-show aficionados haha, Roundabout is okay, I suppose...Owner of a Lonely Heart, the '80s mtv rock hit, is their best song! Even Styx or Aerosmith or Rush or Kiss or Judas Priest owns fucking Yes. -- |
