70's rock i missed

[shagracer]

i hate to admit it but as a teenager i was into glamrock pop, and missed out on loads of great music,
but thanks to planet rock radio ive been reborn, i now own pink floyd, led zeppelin, budgie, grateful dead, leonard cohen.
i want to get a crosby stills nash and young cd im thinking of "so far" is this a good one to start of from
cheers for now

I'm envious of you - must be brilliant hearing all that stuff for the first time. Bit of an Almost Famous under the bed moment

I grew up with it so it was always around.

John Peel said that he felt sorry for the youth of the day that they'll never have that experience where for the first time in their lives they hear 'Hey Joe' played on the radio and go, 'What the f*ck was that!' and have their musical boundaries completely re-written.

Lucky you!

70's rock must die

[andy400]

Great album:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crosby-Stills-Nash/dp/B000...

'Long Time Gone' one of the best tracks ever IMO.

[GetCarter]

Oh God.

Lynard Skynard before three of them died. One of the finest rock albums ever made: http://www.lynyrdskynyrd.com/board_posts/pronounce...

Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Scorpions, Van Halen, UFO, Rush.

And if you're metal-inclined then you can't go wrong with Judas Priest and Black Sabbath.

I was at their last gig in the Uk before the crash, Leicester deMontford Hall. Still have the ticket somewhere, £1.25! Steve Gaines wore my hat during Freebird.

I was at their first in the UK when they re-formed.

Maybe try some Humble Pie, Taste (with Rory G on guitar), Mountain, Camel, Genesis (but only with Peter Gabriel on vocals), The Groundhogs, Free.

To name but a few.

Early Van Halen falls into the 70's as well believe it or not.

Dear shagracer,

Wishbone Ash
Robin Trower
Clarkson's favourite Bob Seger
Bad Company
George Thorogood - maybe later but cracking blues
Montrose
Aerosmith

[shagracer]

thanks for all the input and other good bands to look out for, i did have rainbow rising and down to earth after there single hit, since youve been gone. so have now got 2cd best of rainbow, heard lynrd skynyrds simple man on planet rock that made me stop and listen, not to keen on a recent purchest aerosmiths young lust, i do like rag doll and sweet emotion which has that 90's manchester sound about it, but its a live version on this cd. oh and thanks to black hole sun ive now got sound gardens cd.

[Riff Raff]

If you like Lynyrd Skynrd, try the Outlaws.

As far as CSN&Y go, my favourite has always been Deja Vu. Their version of 'Woodstock' always gets me singin' along....

[Crackie]

Blue Oyster Cult are worth checking out.
Cheap Trick might not be everyone's cup of tea but I loved the Dream Police album.

[Dr Prod]

Try 'Blackfoot' as well. Maruader is a good album to start with

[Loaded1me]

The Allman Brothers Band, Janis Joplin, The Faces, early Springsteen, Gary More, Hot Tuna, Rory Gallagher, Whitesnake, Van Morrison.

Should keep you going for awhile!

[kiteless]

Oh, and Ted Nugent as well

[Malam]

Jeronimo, Nazareth, King Crimson...

Rush are still going, I saw their tour in May this year.

70's is no good alone, you need to delve into the late 60s as well. Lots of good stuff.

Should mention Fleetwood Mac prior to Buckingham/Nicks in 74 - just listen to the guitar work of Danny Kirwan (he was just a kid) and Peter Green together. I'll never forget when I first saw them in 1968.

Sadly both blown away by drugs and drink and never the same.

[Asterix]

Early ZZ Top is fab stuff as well.

Stick on 'Brown Sugar' loud and wait for it to kick in.

Or how about "Tush"?

Couple more:
The Faces - homegrown, tinge of popular but "Stay with me" has a cracking crescendo to the end.
Secondly Dr Feelgood,

ETA Has anyone posited Thin Lizzy? Yes they have!
