Recommend some 70's rock

[SirDoom]

That's basically all of my itunes, if you include late 60's music.

Really though, that's not much to go on.

My suggestion? You can't really go wrong with The Who.

If you want a more specific type though, like prog rock, art rock, souther rock... I could name a few great songs from each.

Spoiler: New York Dolls - Trash

Spoiler: Misfits (Static Age album) (NSFW)

Spoiler: The Stooges - Search and Destroy (no, 30 seconds to Mars did not cover this song)

Spoiler: Patti Smith

Spoiler: The Sex Pistols

Spoiler: David Bowie

When I was younger, I had this friend and she was looking through my music and called it shit and said "who's bowie?", pronouncing "bow" as in bow-wow. =/

Spoiler: Pink Floyd

Spoiler: Screaming Lord Sutch... (He's my avatar. I don't care for a lot of his music, I just thought he looked adorable there for some reason.)

...and Heavy Friends...And the Savages It's 60's but. *shrug*

Spoiler: Joy Division

Do you have any justification as to why it was the golden age of music, apart from "it sounds good"?

Spoiler: Also, kind of irrelevant, weird early 80's electronic music

[Luftwaffles]

All those mentioned and also Creedence Clearwater Revival

 

[onewheeled]

Boston's first album, simply called Boston. It's easily one of the most solid, consistent albums I've ever owned, and it's still a blast to listen to from start to finish.

 

[artanis_neravar]

The Beatles (Yeah I know it's the 60's but still)

Yes! Boston are my favourite band. Definately check them out. (Their most famous song is more than a feeling, but they have some great other songs.)

Also try the Scorpions.

Spoiler: Richard Hell and the Voidoids

Spoiler: Crass

Spoiler: Circle Jerks

I want to put G.G. Allin, but that would turn her off of music.

Spoiler: Fuck it, I love posting this song at any chance I get.

 

[DefunctTheory]

Back in Black.

Back in Black came out in 1980 (Also notable as the singer was first replaced [After Bon Scott diead]).

Meh, it's just got such an awesome intro.

 

[SkyrimOrBust]

The Floyd.

 

[Mr Somewhere]

Thin Lizzy.

Anything off Jailbreak or Bad Reputation is gold. Yay for 'Lizzy!!!

This, Thin Lizzy are the band that got me into music many a year ago. Not so much into classic 70's rock nowadays, but I can still give them a listen any time. Also, Black Rose is my favorite of their albums.

 

[GamerAddict7796]

AC/DC Jailbreak!!
Captures the meaning of 70s rock n' roll (IMHO)!

haha, same. Thin Lizzy are my dad's favourite band so I grew listening to old Thin Lizzy vynils.I reckon Jailbreak is the best album. Emerald, Cowboy Song, Boys Are Back In Town and Jailbreak. Four out of my top ten!

 

[Brutal Peanut]

How about a little Golden Earring? =D

I was the very same. My Dad used to play Live and Dangerous every Saturday. Our player broke sadly, shall be buying another whence I visit Dublin (which will be soon). In fact I got to see the band (sans Lynott of course) a handful of years ago. They were great. Will be seeing them again this June!
