Who are some of your favorite musicians and groups from the 1970's?

[Cancel 2020.2]

And a VERY special mention of another musician I can't believe I forgot, Brian Eno. He was a big part of the first two albums by Roxy Music, and he released many terrific solo albums in the 70's after he left Roxy Music. THIS man is in my top five favorites of the decade. And to this day he continues to put out high quality releases.

I can't BELIEVE I somehow forgot about Three Dog Night, the very first group I became a "fan" of when I was 10 years old. I was even briefly a member of their fan club. I initially became interested in them because I thought their group name was cool. I quickly found that I loved their music, as well. I've seen them live three times, in Arizona, the last time was, I believe, in 1996 or 1997.

I found them AM radio, nothing wrong with it, but it always centered on a hit single, and what pissed me off was that meant you usually had to buy an entire album of which most of was junk just to get one hit single off of the album

The seventies was a transitional period for rock music, gone were the independent groups, those the music companies couldn't control, and what took their place was the beginning of corporate rock, unless you were an established entity at the time, you pretty much did what the company wanted and we got a lot of mediocre music
