Seventies Music

I was having a discussion inthe sauna the other day with friend of mine and we got off on this tangent about what bands we listened to the most in the seventies. He came up with some weird formula that consisted of how much we listened over a certain length of time. With all factors in mind, here are my top five artists that I listened to in the 1970s.

1. Joe Walsh (very surprising but think about The James Gang from 1970-1972 solo from 1972-76 and then with The Eagles from 1976 to 1980)

2. Santana (the first Santana CD came out in 1970 and they released about nine LPs in the 70s)

3. Dave Mason ("Alone Together" was from 1970 and his last good CD was "Mariposa de Oro" which was released in 1978)

4. Steely Dan (from "Can't Buy A Thrill" in 1972 to "Gaucho" in 1980)

5(tie). Blue Oyster Cult (from the first one in 72 to 1980's "Cultasaurus Erectus")

J. Geils Band from 1970's "Morning After" to 1979's "Sanctuary")

Honorable Mention: Led Zeppelin (done with them in 1976), Deep Purple (ditto), The Doobie Brothers (hated the Micheal McDonald stuff), The Who (very erratic later in the decade), The Eagles, Wishbone Ash, Elton John (I hated everything after 1975), Ted Nugent (loved all of his 70s work), Van Morrison.
