Ok, messieurs et mesdames. Beatles won the last round of the 60's best band by knock-out, but it was a little bit foreseeable.
Now let's a argue about the 70's: which is the best band, or artist of this decade according to you? and WHY?
Pink Floyd, Bowie, Led Zeppelin, John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, Roxy Music, The Modern Lovers, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Ramones, Iggy Pop, The Stooges, Lou Reed, Joy Division, Television, Queen, The New York Dolls, King Crimson, The Buzzcocks, Bauhaus... or others?

It's a tie between Kraftwerk and The Residents.
Meet The Residents could pass as a weird record from the future. |

I don't listen to that much music from the seventies, really. I suppose I'll vote for Queen as well, though. I always figured they were one of those bands that pretty much everybody liked. Then again, I'd say the same about the Beatles, and people on this forum have dissed them as well.

This is harder than I thought, despite the 70's producing some truly awful bands that were hugely popular.
I am gonna vote for Blondie.

Queen are good for a few cool songs on each album. Queen, in my opinion, are not a good place to go to if you want albums that are great all the way through.
Still, Brian May's guitar sound is one of my all-time favorites and I give them a few points for scoring FLASH GORDON. |

Hey! I like Queen! I hate them when they were rich and famous, but time sometimes do these strange things. Maybe it's only our natural repulsion for commercial success.

I'm also surprised that so many people seem to like them I like I do, and I'm pleased with that, because when the music is good, it doesn't matter if it's "mainstream" or not. I mean, at that time, Queen were as famous as bands or people like Bowie, T.Rex and nobody seems to say that these ones were mainstream, although they were big and were a mass phenomenon. With the time passing by -and I know that Queen has made a lot of of shitty things in the 80's, but Bowie too- rock critics seem to forget these kind of things, and tell us that it's more tasteful to listen to T.Rex than Queen, and I really don't know why, I think it's pure snobbery.

Elvis Costello count as a band?
Big Star, Television, The Fall, Queen, Funkadelic, there's a lot of great bands. I would say Queen is the one I've listened to the most. So yeah, Queen is my band for the 70's.

Sparks AND Queen were great bands and I owe Queen a lot of things and a lot of respect -I started playing guitar because of Queen and Led Zeppelin, and Freddy is definitely one of my fav singers of all times- but if I must say that they produced only great albums during the 70's, I also must say that I think that they've been a lot influenced by bands like T.Rex, by Bowie and by the Sparks, in fact, Queen used to open for the Sparks in England when they weren't famous. If you listen to the first Lp's of the Sparks, you hear that there's a lot of similarities with the Queen songs, in the sound, the arragements, the singing, the guitars.

I'll vote the Clash (with Bowie and the Ramones close behind), but Bob Dylan also belongs on that list. |
