Well I just want to know how many of you here really dig music from those decades.My favorites are [in no particular order]

The Kinks
The Who
Them
The Doors
The Beatles
Black Sabbath
The Rolling Stones
The Beach Boys
Elf
The Yardbirds
Simon & Garfunkel
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
America
The Band
The Byrds

I might have left out a few bands on purpose or maybe I am not a big fan of their work but any recommendations would be nice.

Pink Floyd unk:

I like Pink Floyd too but I cant call myself a big fan of Pink Floyd.Although many of their singles are absolutely magical especially some of their early work when Syd was around.

Right on.

 

[mpbsux20]

APlunk,do you have any favorites that you would like to mention ?

 

[Aplunk1]

Oh sure...

Quite honestly, my fascination with Barrett's style borders on obsession. I'm pretty enthusiastic about 'Bob Dylan Blues', 'Lucy Leave', 'See Emily Play', 'Interstellar Overdrive', 'Astronomy Domine'... I own several Barrett compilation albums. Pretty big fan.

His story, I think, is rather tragic, considering his creative talent.

Just started learning to play this one on the guitar today:

Yes indeed,Barrett was simply irreplaceable.Every time I watch the Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett story on DVD I shead a tear or two.

Tom Petty doesn't appreciate his lack of mention.

[mpbsux20]

Nice add....They were a cool band too and deserve to be mentioned.I absolutely love listening to "Refugee".

 

[mpbsux20]

I think the "Faces" deserve to be mentioned too.

 

[Obsidian]

ZZ Top
Cactus (The closest America ever came to having our own Led Zeppelin)
Iron Butterfly
Captain Beyond
Neil Young

 

[TheGrayMan2001]

Love most of these bands, especially the Tom Petty.

No mention for Led Zeppelin? They defined rock in the '70s!

 

[mpbsux20]

GrayMan:I dont think anyone would disagree with you.Also I was a little surprised to see that no one has mentioned Judas Priest,Kiss,Rush and Queen.

 

[chore boy]

Petty's the man, for sure. There's not a whole lot of artists that are as consistent as he his.
