I’ve read through 3 pages now.... what is apparent is most people are ‘heavy metal’ fans. Not once has SLADE been mentioned.... a HUGE band in the 70’s. I refuse to delve any further into this thread! OOooooohhh....... I tell you, I’m All Crazee Now.!

Mark 1 Fleetwood Mac - Peter Green - what a band

For me it's possible correct, though only mid 40's

But the age is interesting, the reality is great bands don't really exist anymore as big cultural/musical influences and haven't done for 20 years

My 15yo son is into a lot of modern hip-hop music, but also is continually playing 70's and 80's bands. (80's music sounds are seemingly having a revival). You'd probablty get similar answers from anyone that is actually into their music

At this moment my list is:
Duran Duran
The Divine Comedy
Blondie
Muse
Suede
A-Ha
Lemonheads
Midlake
Eisley
Weezer

It’ll probably change every month or two.

Echo and the Bunnymen
Beach Boys (but only Pet Sounds era)
Stone Roses
The Corrs
Jesus and Mary Chain
Led Zep
Pink Floyd
Frank Zappa
KLF
Dubliners
