Alternative TV, The Fall, Suicide, Thin Lizzy, Sly & the Family Stone were still making good music, Pere Ubu, Yoko Ono, Can, Faust, still gotta throw Serge on the pile....

:-)

[Bertha Venation]

23. Daryl Dragon isn't deaf/mute

(answered only as a teen groupie can)

This little 13-yr-old liked 'em, anyway.

Being that they are the best band EVER they'd have to be the best in their decade of glory.

[beawr]

30. OOOPS

I shouldn't have left Stevie Wonder off.

[Kolesar]

31. I don't know what people see in Ozzie Osborne

I liked Paranoid and all that, but it is dated. That "crazy train" song was hardly a start to an innovative solo career. And he's ugly, too.

[LibertyorDeath]

32. This is pure sacrilege

"I liked Paranoid and all that, but it is dated. That "crazy train" song was hardly a start to an innovative solo career. And he's ugly, too."



"That "crazy train" song was hardly a start to an innovative solo career"

How dare you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maggrwaggr]

33. Electric Light Orchestra, Supertramp, Neil Diamond!

Okay, that's late 70's only.

If you look at the entire decade, there's just too much to choose from in 70 - 73.

Led Zeppelin's gotta be the most influential by far.
