70s rock... gimme some!

[Reverend Joe]

I know I started a similar thread to this one about Detroit Rock, but hopefully more people will be able to give good suggestions in reference to this topic.

Ever since I started listening to The Brought Low, (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=11920487) I've been developing an interest in 70's rock, especially the Hard Rock. But All I've been able to tease out so far is the BTO, Bad Company and (to a limited extent) Lynyrd Skynyrd.

So, does anyone have any other suggestions? And, speaking of suggestions, is Aerosmith any good or are they as overblown as I suspect them to be?

What I am looking for here is informed opinions, since I put more stock in your opinions than the random crap I might find on Wiki.

Lay it on me! :2thumbsup:

I never really liked Aerosmith. Honestly, they seemed like a (bad) '80s hair metal band that came about a decade too early.

I may have some actual decent suggestions later, but for now, just take my advice with Aerosmith.

AC/DC with Bon Scott, and the beginnings of their second era.

Kiss! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnqUAbGMjLI) Glam rock meets hair metal meets disco beat! It's still perfect after all these year!


And Kiss still owns today!! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWLpbcgc814)

Yeah... I think I should have mentioned... no hair metal. Too 80's.

And disco just sucks.

CCR, Nugent, Molly Hatchet, Cheap Trick, those kind of bands?

[Reverend Joe]

Not so much like Cheap Trick; they're a little poppy for my taste. And yeah, kinda like the 70's Nugent (although I find Nugent himself too annoying to give any money to by buying his music.) The slower/Southern rock stuff is the best, like Molly Hatchet, the first BTO album and Skynyrd. Like, music to smoke to.

And thanks for the Molly Hatchet suggestion. :2thumbsup:

Edit: oh, yeah, and Foghat too. And not just "Slow Ride;" they're actually not bad.

Some that come to mind...

Nazareth.

Budgie.

Robin Trower.

King Crimson.

Bram Stoker.

All rubbish IMO apart from King Crimson. Wunt do to all like the same thing, wood it?

The Who has some psuedo-hard rock songs, and Deep Purple basically only played hard rock, but some of their music is sorta questionable.
