[mark414]

1. uhh

[pres2032]

2. heh, oops

[Fleurs du Mal]

3. Jimi, with Zep very close behind

[JimmyJazz]

4. The Who did some of their best work in the 1970s

[Brundle_Fly]

5. PINK FLOYD!

Never been a more original band.

*picks up bong*

[Lone Pawn]

6. '60s-'70s?

I'd say by that definition, the Beatles by far, with Rolling Stones a close second. If we cut out the work each band did in the '60s, then Led Zep becomes my first choice.

[shawmut]

7. Rolling Stones

[PittPoliSci]

8. how about the Damned?

rules.

[Theres-a]

21. yes!

[Tikki]

25. This is 70's music...

Punk and, yes, the many definitions within New Wave were 70's music. As a matter of fact, so was Disco.

My favorite 60's music was from groups like The Sonics....maybe, that is why I grabbed onto Punk with a passion in the 70's.

Saw the Damned in the 80's at a beautiful outdoor venue. The show was mystical and magical and included many of their 70's songs.

31. i saw them in 03.

indoor, they played mostly news songs, but they had a lot of energy and i loved it.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

9. If you ever attended an early Dead concert

Like at the Avalon for $3.00, you would not even ask this question. Saw Hendrix from the third row. Saw the stones from the eighth row the first time they ever played S.F. The dead were better.

[BamaGirl]

10. Too hard to pick one

Stones, Zep, and the Dead would be my top 3.

[enigmatic]

11. 60's- Beatles/Velvet Underground 70's- Pere Ubu

At least, that's off the top of my head..

[rbnyc]

24. VU! (nt)

[FM Arouet666]

12. Doors, Stones 60s and Sabbath and Floyd for 70s

[WCGreen]

13. Eagles, Bowie, Lou Reed, Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers,

Heart, The Who, Wings, Rod Stewert, Traffic, Tod Rungren, Bruce Springsteen.....

Many Many More

[MsConduct]

23. Now you're talking! n/t

14. The Stones

[bloodyjack]

15. Take off KISS, replace with Big Star

[WCGreen]

16. Forgot the Kinks

[Nile]

17. Jefferson Airplane

Had some good tunes.

[RebelOne]

18. You forgot Jethro Tull. My favorite.

[T Town Jake]

19. The Zep, hands down...

..."gettin' the Led out" right now as I type...

[aQuArius]

20. Hello?? The BEATLES!

:wtf:

[GCP]

30. Hands down no contest

None of the other bands would exist without the Beatles to start off the whole bands playing their own instruments and writing their own songs.

[Bullwinkle925]

36. Thank You

I was beginning to think I had landed on some parallel universe.....
I can't believe the Beatles are not on that poll!
Oh well - I can't believe Dubya is in the White House, either.
Go figure!

[mcscajun]

22. Grateful Dead! And The Beatles, Cream from the 60's

Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues, and Fleetwood Mac, the Doobie Brothers from the 70s

It's always SO hard to pick just One, ya' know. :)

on edit: but as I ha to pick just one...It was Grateful Dead, of course. :)

[Earth_First]

26. Personally, raido play killed most of those bands for me...

give me a crispy fob of the dead from 1973, please!

[Cadence]

27. Other- The Eagles.

[StoneCold513]

28. You forgot Black Sabbath!

<bangs head on table and screams>

[eyepaddle]

29. Yes n/t

[skygazer]

32. Look at my avatar and guess.

:)

[Left Is Write]

33. Zeppelin.

But I want to add that I have a great love for Aerosmith and AC/DC too.

[wtbymark]

34. without a doubt the Grateful Dead

other notables would be Zepplin and Floyd, The Who

-all of these were essential in the influence of future music, the problem is that Big Record Co.'s thought they could create the next Floyd or Zepplin or the Dead. And screwed up the industry for decades.

[goodboy]

35. I can play any pink floyd song on the piano...

[AntiFascist]

37. Queen, Boston, Moody Blues...

except for the part about "no synths."

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

38. THE BEATLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[livinginphotographs]

39. None of the above.

Kraftwerk.

[Zomby Woof]

40. Skynyrd

In 4 years, put out 6 great albums, 2 of them nearly perfect. There was no one like Ronnie Van Zant.

[redsoxliberal]

41. Pink Floyd

no doubt about it.
