Music: 70s Supergroups - show me yours and I'll show you mine!
July 5th 2007 22:18
Try to encapsulate a formal Top 10 and you leave yourself wide open for comment, criticism and perhaps a little egg on your face.
Sure you can base your results on sales, hits or longevity – but hey – sometimes you’ve just got to go with your gut on this kind of thing and play favourites.
So in no real order let’s take a look at 10 of the best.
1. The Eagles
2. Boston
3. Queen
4. ELO
5. KISS
6. Pink Floyd
7. Led Zepplin
8. The Who
9. Abba
10. Fleetwood Mac
1. Hotel California
2. Boston
3. Night at The Opera
4. Discovery
5. Alive
6. Dark Side of the Moon
7. Led Zepplin 3
8. Quadrophenia
9. Arrival
10. Rumours
OK – so I’ve left out your Steely Dans, Supertramps, Credence’s, AC/DC’s, Doobies, Status Quo’s and some of the more edgy stuff like the Ramones and Black Sabbath – but sometimes you’ve just got to draw a line in the sand.
Ladies and gentlemen - feel free to fire at will . . .

Fleetwood Mac's Rumours is the album from your list which brings back the most memories from the 70s for me.
Do artists like Jackson Browne (Running on Empty) and Frampton (Frampton Comes Alive) not get a mention due to not being technically a band by themselves? [Maybe a Best 10 List of Solo Artists?
I can't compile a band list for you. I just enjoy reading musical posts and making a comment.

Have both albums (yes vinyl) in the collection. Needless to say - both are classics in their own right. But yes - I guess I overlooked these for the reason you mentioned. The solo artist suggestion is a cracker though - stay tuned.
Cheers

I can compile a list for solo 70s artists (just not bands), so I'll look forward to that post.
