Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites

Mandatory 8 tracks for cruising in the car while doing various questionable things.....That 70's show is the perfect generation for me!.
Lots of southern rock--Outlaws (Green grass and high tides!), Henry Gross (rare one), CHarlie Daniels band, Marshall Tucker (already mentioned)
Lots of hard rock--ZZ Top (La Grange), Aerosmith (Toys in the Attic)
More progressive things--Head East; I STILL listen to this!, Queen, or course, as mentioned above; WIshbone Ash Argus, Nils Lofgren Cry Tough,
My own personal favorite--Be-Bop Deluxe

By the way, in 1974? (not sure of the year) we saw Queen, Aerosmith, and Mott the Hoople. Some buddies of mine got backstage somehow and wondered into Queen's dressing room. I don't know where I was, and probably didn't know where I was at the time either!

Oneprof, sounds like an excellent concert. I would have loved to go.... but I was only about 2 years old in 1974... heh heh...

Well, KF, it's good to know that some of you 'youngsters' appreciate good music, anyhow!!

I forgot one--REO Speedwagon, no not that 'Keep on loving you' s***, but Early stuff, like the album with "Riding the storm out' on it!
And how about Styx--no not 'MIsterRoboto', but 'Lady'

Fun post Sean..A breath of fresh air here for sure.
Anyone ever get into Cactus? I dont remember the name of the album I had, but one song on it was called Long Tall Sally or something like that.
I loved the album..was this band good or was I just a red eyed teen?
How about Its A Beautiful Day? White Bird? I havent seen this mentioned..A true classic! You younger 'Philes that like Days Of The New should check them out.Very similar style.The First time I heard Days Of The New I thought I was listening to Its A Beautiful Day..strange!
Elvin Bishop
Black Oak.. yeah! Jim Dandy to the recue!!
Wishbone Ash "argus"
Moody Blues "Threshhold Of A Dream" This is 'maybe' my favorite album.
Again Sean...awesome thread!

I was born in '74... can't believe I forgot the Steve Hillage stuff: Arzachel, Khan, Gong and his early solo stuff (and not to forget Dave Stewart's band "Egg".) Duanegoosen scooped the Canterbury link with Henry Cow. How about Happy the Man, and Hatfield + the North? At least one of the HTM guys (Stanley Whittaker) is active in the modern pomp band Ten Jinn, which is just great if you've got an iron stomach.

Just scored a bunch of Sylvania '74 6BM8s for my Wave monos in the bedroom, they sound awesome. Not a bad year ; )
