Was a good era for Music, some fabulous bands did some kick ass music.

The Eagles

The Bee gees

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Led Zeppelin

Black Sabbath

Whilst I appreciate some may not actually remember some of them, I don't, but got into their music in later years.

Who was your fave artist/s from the 70s?

I've seen them countless times, although I've not seen them since Schenker left the band..... but I've heard they are still an awesome live outfit...

Shame about Pete Ways health issues though....

I (Jet) did too at Knebworth Park in Hertfordshire. £7.50 for the concert ticket and Zepp came on stage about 10pmish after a day of music by various different bands and played a 4 hour set if I remember right.

Other favorites from that era include Pink Floyd, Genesis, Supertramp, Queen, Yes, Jethro Tull Blondie, Slade to name but a few. Still love all the 70's music actually even some of the punk stuff nowadays.

When we were courting we used to go and see Jethro Tull quite regularly. One memorable night was Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull, Hall & Oats and some other band who's name escapes me. I think we were the youngest in the crowd.

Can't believe no-one has mentioned "Rod the Mod" OK he blotted his copybook with "Do ya think I'm sexy" but did a lot of other really good songs.

I was mostly a bit of a heavy metal freak in the early 70's. Deep Purple, Zeppelin, and not forgetting Uriah Heep, but I also liked Barclay James Harvest's soft rock style. Of the pop rock bands I think Slade were the pick of the bunch, closely followed by Bowie (yes I did get him) and T Rex. I suppose I must also mention the band that used to play regularly at my local pub before they became famous. They started out as "Kindness" then changed their name to (who the fuck is) "Smokie"

What a great list

Also worth a mention (although I wasn't too keen on most of their chart hits) would be Sweet who were really good live.

I have one confession to make though.

In those days at the end of rag week in Blackpool there used to be (maybe still is) what was called the arts ball.

Every year a top band would be booked at the winter gardens and we saw some of the best bands of the time. Slade, Sweet, Carlos Santana to name just a few.

One year a new band who had just got their first hit in the charts were appearing. We watched them for around 20 minutes and thought, "right bunch of one hit wonders these will turn out to be" and retired to the bar.

The name of the band?...

Queen
