Van Halen deserves a top ten rating for sure. And yes, the tail end of the 70's. Zeppelin was unreal. All four musicians were so gifted at their respective roles in the band. Page was so cool and still is when he performs even today. Plant looks like an old frog these days but he one of the most gifted rock vocalists of all time. Bonham killed it on the drums. Just four super highly gifted musicians who fired on all cylinders.

it was a different time. I saw Zepp twice before I started kindergarten. If you didn't, your parents may have been uncool. That said... The Who has to be on the top of any list and, remember, The Stones did their best work in the 70's.

7 and 12 should be swapped.  Van Halen is one of the best rock bands of all time, granted thier first album came out in 78, but they're much more influential than whoever that is at 7.

VH is really an 80's band, same with Genesis, Rush, ZZ top, police, Scorpions. That's when they got big.
Priest and Motorhead are really metal. Black sabbath is too but I have no problem labeling them classic rock.

Whoever that is influenced Van Halen. Hell, Van Halen covered Budgie songs in the 70's. Most Americans have NO IDEA who Budgie are. Again, criminally underrated.

To the guy who thinks Hendrix should be in there, well, he is more of a 60's rock star. Not a 70's.

Not a bad list. The most obvious omission is The Who. Who's Next came out in '71. That's when they really started to peak.

One of my all-time favorites is The Outlaws. In their prime, they blow most of the bands on that list off the stage.

Another underrated '70s band was Foghat. Foghat Live is one of the all-time greatest "single" live albums. Two others that come to mind are Cheap Trick: Live at Budokan, and Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Animal.

If you're going to include solo rockers, Ted Nugent, Peter Frampton and, of course, Clapton would have to make the list.

This may be...I don't know who they are, and after reading about them, they still do not sound familiar, but I'll take your word for it.
Van Halen (Eddie) was heavily influenced by Clapton, but that's common knowledge.
I agree that The Who should be on there as well. 
Either way, music was awesome back then.  Now we get sh*t like Justin Beever and Taylor Swift.   ::)

The Outlaws x100

There are so many great guitar players, but what makes the late Billy Jones a cut above is his tone and ability to tell a story with his solos.

This is the 1st part of Green Grass and High Tides performed at a festival in Germany 1981.

What makes this clip so cool is that at about the 4:15 mark, Billy lauches into a solo. When he finishes at about 7:00, the normally reserved German crowd gives him an ovation DURING the song.

btw,
nice Zappa clip Yngiwe

There are so many great guitar players, but what makes the late Billy Jones a cut above is his tone and ability to tell a story with his solos.

This is the 1st part of Green Grass and High Tides performed at a festival in Germany 1981.

What makes this clip so cool is that at about the 4:15 mark, Billy lauches into a solo. When he finishes at about 7:00, the normally reserved German crowd gives him an ovation DURING the song.

btw,
nice Zappa clip Yngiwe




absolutely love that song.

 In the 80's rock music started to suck.

 By 2000 it had gone to shit.

 Now it's just a rotten pile of shit that's gotten hard and crusty.

That's close to being true ship, but the 90s grunge sound kicked ass there for awhile. Alice in Chains, STP, Soundgarden. Rock on baby!

I know that I'm gonna catch some flack for saying this, but I'm a big fan of love songs, and in this regard them Jewish folk kick some major ass: Niel Diamond, Billy Joel, Simon and Garfunkel, Babs, Carol King, Carly Simon. And in my humble opinion, Wildflower by Skylard, IS the most beautiful love song ever written. I also like blue-eyed soul, namely the Doobie Bros and Ambrosia.

For the 70's completist, add the Faces ('A nod is as good as a wink...') and Humble Pie (live at the Fillmore). Both classics.

I'm not a video game guy, but, from what I understand, it's one of the most popular songs on Rock Band.

Here's part II. Could you imagine some twink emo band having to follow this? They'd be lucky to escape alive.

At about 7:00 the camera pans the crowd. Germans hadn't been that excited since WWII.

I would add Skynyrd, CCR, and the Allman Brothers to the list. I was nothing but a twinkle in my dad's eye in the 70s but I did find all my parents records and play them when I was younger.

1. Led Zeppelin
2. Black Sabbath
3. ACDC
4. Pink Floyd
5. Kiss
6. Aerosmith
7. Budgie (criminally underrated)

11. Rush
12. Van Halen (Tail End)
13. Deep Purple
14. Genesis

The Beatles were not a 70's band. They were a 60's band. If you open that can of worms, then you need to mention the Yardbirds, Cream, Hendrix and every other early to late 70's band.

I think Blue Cheer deserve a mention, as do Journey.

I was hesistant to mention Triumph because their studio albums, for the most part, aren't anything special, but, if you're going to talk about guitarists, Rik Emmett is easily one of the best and most entertaining.

Here he is killing a crowd of 500,000 at the U.S Festival. Many people who were there said Triumph was the best band on the metal day.
