Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites

no mention yet of Todd Rundgren?

SOmething/ANyhthing
Wizard a True Star

also nice to see others mention progressive music
mid era Genesis, Yes, Crimson, Tull all hold up well today

Steppenwolf-Born to be Wild- still my favorite rock song of all time
Blue Oyster Cult-Secret Treaties---Are you a cagey cretin?
The Who- Who's Next, Quadrophenia
Santana- all albums
Elton John- GBYBR
Pink Floyd- DSOTM
Eagles- all albums
Frampton Comes Alive- Still my favorite live rock album
Boston- I can't believe nobody has ranted about this album.
Completely unfathomable that this was basically made
in someone's basement.

OK Ben, I'll step in here...
Jay, let's not get too far out of bounds here - "BTBW" is from '68, and Boston didn't come out until '77, if I remember correctly (and trust me, I've tried to forget! :-).

Oneprof I do say post Night for Queen,for Be Bop Deluxe I was thinking Sunburst Finish (the one most fans relate to....)which was '76 but yes Axe Victim is '74-apologies for that but I do find more and more on this list-countless ramblings (which you are not guility of at all)miles off the intial thread- which has been an inevitable outcome for a long time now.
You just feel like (sometimes) you are in a crowd shouting to be heard (and yes everybody has something valid to say )amongst a lot of incorrect postings-yes we all make mistakes.
Seriously it makes me not post..........well at least there's something positive comes out of it.....
:-)
