Of course it's not the Groovies because the entire concept of "who are the Beatles of the seventies" is fatuous nonsense. The Beatles were a singular cultural phenomenon whose impact on the world will never be matched by another band. It's not the fucking Raspberries because a bunch of powerpop faggots - myself included - retroactively attached themselves to their records. It's not ANYBODY. Jesus this whole concept is so stupid it boggles the mind. The seventies don't NEED to be defined in terms of the sixties.

Agreed.  This is a solid contender for all-time Most Retarded Thread.

I think another beatles type phenomenon could happen. In the 70s, I think it was the ramones. But, it should have been the raspberries.

I've been reading White Line Fever, the autobiography of Lemmy, all weekend and he claims that there will never be another phenomenon like Beatlemania and since it is Lemmy I believe him.

Well, seeing how no band has ever had the truly epochal impact on popular culture the Beatles did, I'd say it's an exercise in futility to try and come up with a "Beatles of the 70's."

This was on page 1. It's now page 8. The thread may be retarded but it is also hard to kill. Perhaps it's greatest fear is to be ignored.

WRONG!  The answer is clearly 999, right down to the shitty songs, ugly faces and day-glo ties and pants.
