What is your guy's favorite 70's band. I would say Alice Cooper but what do you guys think(im going to guess most will say Black Sabbath and Zeppelin)

Tough choice. The primary contenders would be Black Sabbath, AC/DC, The Eagles, and Bruce Springsteen. Between those, I'm not sure.

Zeppelin is a great band, and, imo, far from overrated. They just don't happen to be my favorite '70s band :P.

My dad was the GM of this resort that had a huge ampitheatre(my dads idea for concerts) and he got Alice to come up and play. Pretty cool, actually considering ive seen alot of old bands and met alot too(meaning through my dad's job)

I doubt that most people would consider them the greatest. I'm sure at least a decently sized group would. In any case, it all comes down to opinion.

That really doesn't make sense... Led Zeppelin was one of least "hippy" bands formed in the 60's.

Pink Floyd is definitely the top, they might not have had as many hits as Led Zeppelin or AC/DC, but out of any bandfrom that time (and it could be argued today too,) none created more thematically and musically cohesive of albums as they did then. Listening to a Floyd album is like going on a journey.

Pink Floyd because all of their best albums were released during that decade. And The Clash because of London Calling, Give 'em Enough Rope and their original album which were all fantastic.

I would have picked the Stones though if Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed had been released during the 70s.

Aerosmith They are also my favorite 80's, 90's and recent band. They have albums from 1970-2004, they are comming out with a new album next year and IMO they have only put out 1 bad album.

IMO, the 70's were dead for new music... The Cure, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Rush, and The Clash.

There's a lot of people mentioning The Who, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, etc, and they're all 60's bands...

They had albums in the 70s though The Who's "Who's Next" was in 1971 Only 2 of Led Zeppelins albums were in the 60's, and was late 60's. Most of their albums were made in 1970 Not sure about King Crimson though

First releases in the 60's = 60's band. In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimsom was released in '69 I believe.
