Joni Mitchell Blue

Derek and The Dominoes Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

If King Crimson's In The Court Of The Crimson King came out in the '70s I'd list that too.

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

Al Green - Let's Stay Together

Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove

Parliament - Clones of Dr. Funkenstein

^ I have to agree with Toriko on Al Green

Arguably, I'd have to say the 70's were one of the best decades for all music genres, but especially for Rock and Soul genres.

It's my favorite decade for music.:)

Catch Bull at Four - Cat Stevensraven_squad

"Unknown Plleasures" Joy Division
"London Calling" The Clash
"The Clash" The Clash
"Never Mind The Bullocks, Here's The Sex Pistols" Sex Pistols

I can't really think right now. A lot of bands I like for the 70's & 80's are right on the cusp, and I can't remember the years.

[QUOTE="SickBoy724"] I asked for a 1st edition print on vinyl for my 18th birthday. Excellent album. Very experimental. EDIT: It was critically acclaimed, but a lot of people that like The Clash let this album slip their mind. I have yet to listen to "Cut The Crap"

SickBoy724

Pretty much, This is england, and three card trick were the only good songs on the album.

Sure, there's some good bands putting out new music this decade. I actually like a lot of the same music you do...prog being my favorite kind of rock music. Some of the bands during this decade have actually picked up the torch from some of the 70s prog bands, and did they've done their own thing with it, which is a great thing in my opinion.

Yeah prog is doing well this decade with bands like Frost, Anekdoten, and Pure reason revolution. Prog revival started in the 90s though, 80s prog was kinda crap aside from Marillion, and IQ. I like how prog these days takes influence from the 70s most of the time rather than the 80s, though Pure reason revolution's last album was weird and electronic based. Still great though.

I know my favorite. Van Halen debut album.
