70's music poll

[freetobegay]

Out of these, which do you like the best?

[RandomKoolzip]

1. Rod Stewart's early work is nothing to be embarrassed about....

Esp. with the Faces. Once he "went Hollywood," however....yeeesh!

[carpetbagger]

4. He did a terrific job on vocals for Jeff Beck.

I voted for Chicago, though. Chicago II was one of the great albums of rock music. The eventual ascendence of Peter Cetera doomed the band within a few years from that, culminating with disco albums (and I might mention disco albums that weren't even as merely mediocre as Stewart), but in 1970 Chicago had the foot of jazz music in the AOR door.

17. I agree about Rod....

I think "Atlantic Crossing" was when he crossed the bridge into mediocrity. "With DoYa Think I'm Sexy" he burned that bridge, as far as any interest from me was concerned...

[Gildor Inglorion]

2. I used to love Elton...before that unfortunate eminem incident...

now Sir Reginald Dwight can just disappear, as far as I'm concerned. But in the 70's, there was nobody better.

3. What gives? Your Oldtimer's disease kick in?

No Zeppelin?

No Fleetwood Mac?

Aerosmith?

Eagles?

Springsteen?

20. Yep, Seger's older stuff is great

I might just have to put Night Moves into the CD player!

[LDS Jock]

7. Hello!!!! Where is Donna Summer?

The Queen of Disco! .. What kind of homosexual are you?

[freetobegay]

9. I didn't want to be run out of DU!

:evilgrin:

[LDS Jock]

13. Ashamed of Donna? Someone should take away your limp wrist

:P

[tuvor]

10. Where's the punk rock and new wave?

No Pistols, no Blondie, no Talking Heads...

:cry:

[CO Liberal]

11. Where's the Who and the Starland Vocal Band????

:shrug:

[Nevernose]

12. Where the fuck are The Doobies? Sex Pistols? Pink Floyd?

Du should revoke your musical-ness credentials! :D

[Twillig]

14. What, no B.O.C?

No BTO for that matter either.

They had a nice run for a while there, so just keep your snickering to yourselves!

15. 'Took Elton, but with a qualifier --

-- that the vote is for the early work with Bernie Taupin. Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water knocked me out. Fine, fine music and lyrics both.

I don't begrudge Elton his more recent commercial successes, but they don't have the pathos and the bite of those earlier recordings.

[DemWitch]

18. Uhmmmmm...

Boston, Fleetwood Mac, BeeGees, Styx, Bonnie Tyler, Yvonne Elliman, Eart/Wind/and Fire, Heart, Gloria Gaynor, Ms Patti LaBelle, and any number of one hit wonders...

[RPM]

19. Where is Donnie Iris

He's my pick.

[JimmyJazz]

21. Jcak Wild - HR puff 'N stuff - OMG - to die for.....
