Who are the Beatles of the 70s?

[doctordenim]

Lennon. 

I already said it, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the Beatles of the 70's. Put out successful hits with number 1 tracks, and were IN the Beatles at some point. They match this criteria perfectly.

except all their 70s records are useless. and only crappy bands followed their 70s paths. so I don't see any real connection with the Beatles who made mostly good records and influenced a bunch of good bands.

Yeah, I think whoever it is would have to had defined an era, sold kajillions of records, inspired a thousand good bands and 100,000 terrible ones, written inescapable songs that everybody knows whether they know it or not, and made the chickies whet their panties.  Only Zeppelin really qualifies.  But ABBA's not a bad choice, either, except they were all couply and Swedish and shitt so no whet panties (sorry, Andreas).

then the 70s are officially a sucky decade.

IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, LED ZEPPELIN'S "THE ROVER" IS A SONG USED MORE IN STRIP CLUBS THAN KID ROCK'S BOWL STAGNANT TRAILER JOINTS. I HAD A DREAM....

How can anyone not like Band on the Run?

It seems I still need to get read of 1% of what I listen to.

[HIV Playground]

Either Abba or Kraftwerk.

"The Ocean" would also make a good stripper jam.

id say the beatles of the 70s is earth wind and fire.  they were a pop group with r+b/soul influences, they were musical geniuses, and pretty much all their albums went platinum. 

[Whet Bull]

And Philip Bailey's solo career in the '80s was as potent as John, Paul, and George's a decade earlier!



Produced by Phil Collins, who also plays drums and sings backup throughout.

Jimmy Page spent more time in the mind of the grind then he did into all of that Thelema nonsense. I can smell it.
