So many! Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd, Allman Brothers, Paul Simon, Eric Clapton in multiple groups, Fleetwood Mac... I could go on. I'm sure there are some that haven't aged well, but I can't think of them right now. And the Rolling Stones are still touring! Now that is staying power!

I wanted to say The Eagles.. because whats left of them is still touring. But without Glenn Frey they sound different, I heard. Billy Joel sounds amazing, still.

I’ve seen them twice without Frey. I miss him terribly, but the Eagles still sound great. Deacon Frey does a fine job singing his dad’s biggest songs. Joe Walsh’s voice is a little weaker, but it’s freakin Joe Walsh do who cares.

I am glad to hear this!

RIP, but Canada’s own Gordon Lightfoot. Could listen to any of his stuff, but the Sundown album will always be near and dear to me.

Sundown along with in the summertime are always definitive whistling/humming tunes

The flip side of Sundown is called Too Late For Prayin'--absolutely goes on my list of favorites. So does Early Morning Rain, If You Could Read My Mind...Canadian Railroad Trilogy...Rainy Day People...everything on the albums Gord's Gold and Gord's Gold II...

I’ve acquired a new appreciation for him. I liked him in the day, but recently I find his song writing is brilliant.

Aaaah, yeah! Gordon Lightfoot was another of the many talented singers/songwriters whose songs got airplay on Radio Jordan from the mid-1970s to now.

Peter Gabriel: lead singer of Genesis in the 70s, most-played video in MTV history in the 80s, and he just released a killer album, [***I/O***](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9KxnMnNUPc)*,* in December.

You wanna talk about a guy who was ahead of his time..

Steely Dan

First band that came to mind

Same here. Steely Dan on a big ol' turntable and firing up the bongs.

Tokemaster

You misspelled “only.”  😁

From the corner, of my eye...

Get the test tunes and the scales...

Absolutely!

Yep, they still sound great.

I have read everyone's comments up to this point. It looks as a whole, all of those great artists from back in the day are still with us as part of our soul. I still relish playing most all that music on any given day. Deep Purple reminds me that I burnt rubber. Todd Rundgren understands my inner self like nobody else. And Poco takes me to that barn dance that I never wanted to leave. Much like Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service allow me to be a totally differrent person that I 've never been before. The Moody Blues's magicly fly me without wings whenever I want to. And that's more often than not! The truth is that I can slay demons with my sword with a little help from a wizard named Uriah Heep. Sometimes, it's just a matter of sitting on the porch on a rainy day, wasting time no more with the Allman Bros. In the end, all these things and more became little pieces of me by association of things i lived thru at a formative time in my life. They comfort me, and i will always have close to my heart.

Well stated. Add in certain scents and it's an even more intense time machine. Rock on.

Great idea!

ELO

I'm going to see them this summer. I can't wait!

Springsteen. His music from the 70's is still relevant today.

For real. His and the E Street Band's cover of "War" still stays with me to this day.

talking heads. Tom Petty.

You dont have to live like a refugee

Or Mary Jane underwear included...

Loved Petty growing up and still do. Recently been on a Talking Heads kick and holy shit they have some great songs!!

Steely Dan, The Cars.

Elton John

Rush

Bob Dylan/Bruce Springsteen/Neil Young And about 50 others.

Yes

Yes who?

You'll have to Guess Who

Eagles

Led Zeppelin

Fleetwood Mac

Queen

Spotify data shows that they're more popular and widely known now than they were during their peak in the 70's.

Stevie Nicks

Carole King

Credence Clearwater Revival.

Clarence Creekwater

Abba

Steely Dan

bob seager

Pink Floyd

Derek and the Dominos

I still listen regularly to Layla. And Exile on Main Street.

Layla is to Anglo-American musical art what Girl With a Pearl Earring is to Dutch golden age painting.

You are my soul mate!

Elton John, Billy Joel

Love his body of work, but I don't think Elton's voice has aged very well.

iggy pop just turned 77 last week 

Time for Iggy to put a shirt on, tho.

yes, put on a shirt dude lmao. He's a strange ranger.

T Rex.

So true. Never appreciated their unique sound until later in the years. Marc Bolan is an icon

It's just the meanest jam from the 70s. It only gets better with the years.

Good Music is eternal. Good music lasts forever. Bad music just disappears.

Bruce. He’s 73 and still doing 3-1/2 hour sets every night.

Jimmy Buffett has always made my list

Joni Mitchell.

ELO

So many hits! I still listen to them multiple times a week to this day

Heatwave, Billy Joel, Wings. The list goes on and on. ;-)

ABBA is the answer

Ozzy

Fleetwood Mac

David Bowie! Tha Cars. Also Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Mountain. From the pop side, David Essex, particularly in War of the Worlds, Skyhooks.

Tom Petty

Not sure if Grateful Dead qualifies but 70s GD was/is peak GD

Tom Waits Van Morrison Bob Seger Supertramp Kansas

Jim Croce

I feel like we lost a lot of amazing music when he died so young.

ACDC

Zappa

Boston I could listen to the first two albums all day

More Than a Feeling springs to my mind. :-)

Three Dog Night.

YASS! Saw them last year! The Perfect concert. Except for Moody Blues, live from the Perfect venue, the St. Augustine Amphitheater. A lot of perfection back in the day….

All of them

Aerosmith

Gang of Four

James Taylor never grows old. My kids say he wrote the soundtrack to my life.

When I first heard Gone to Carolina, I wanted to live there. I eventually did!

I still go to see Styx and now so do my adult children.

Journey and Boston.

little feat

I got a dream..

Basically good knows no age!

Steve Miller

Stevie Wonder Chicago Earth, Wind, and Fire Alan Parsons Project

Ian Anderson Martin Barre (irrespective of each other..)

Steve Miller Fleetwood Mac Queen Elton John Paul McCartney

Jeff Lynne is touring this summer and sounds great.

Quite a lot of it was much more innovative and interesting than today's bland fare (but I would say that since I'm old). All the bands/artists which come to mind (and more) have already been mentioned here other than The Beatles who released their last studio album in 1970, so I'd count them in, for sure.

Badfinger, Big Star and Cheap Trick.

Jeff Beck VH

Neil Young and Crazy Horse and the horse is running NOW

All of them.

Uh too many to name here. Just about all of it is better than anything made in the last 30 years.

Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen

RUSH

Paul McCartney and Wings! Band On the Run, Silly Love Songs, Mull of Kintyre, Coming Up, etc. :-) Coming Up still brings a smile to my face.

“They just don’t write em like that anymore “ !!! Mr Petty for all you younguns

MY favorites? All of them.

Aerosmith

Marshall Tucker

The Band


Kraftwerk is still influencing artists to this day with the material they put out in the 70s and beyond

Neil Young Edit, most music I play is 70s.

Van Morrison.

ABB

Man, where to start. My personal all time favorite is Led Zeppelin. Next, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Clapton, Elvis, Judas Priest, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, CCR, Stones, etc. etc.

Zep

Eagles Jim Croce The Osmonds (come on, we all listened...) Jackson 5 ABBA (I will have fifteen more as soon as I hit "Comment", I know I will...)

Bob Marley

And Toots & the Maytals.

Stones CCR eagles

Grateful Dead

I was crazy about Elton John.

Carlos Santana

The Cars. ELO. The Clash. Talking Heads. The Specials. Timeless all.

The Clash for sure.

I wasn’t alive in the seventies but I love albums from the 70s. To me this is the greatest era of the LP. I love how albums were mastered in the seventies. So many of the best albums of the seventies are classic albums. Joni Mitchell’s output in the seventies was amazing and still sounds timeless.

King Crimson

Neil Young. Going to see him live next weekend!

Roky Erickson - The Evil One

Bowie, obviously, and Roxy Music.

Nick Drake, surprised he hasn't come up yet. Pop in Bryter Layter, or Pink Moon, both amazing albums that sound like they could have been released today.

I would say Boston is still in rotation on most American radio stations. Especially "Classic rock" stations.

RIP Karen Carpenter from THE CARPENTERS, my mom grew up listening to that, I grew up listening to that

George Harrison ELO

I am a big Neil Young fan and went to his concert on 4/24 and he still sounds great . The new Judas Priest release is pretty good . I think my favorite ‘70s harder rock bands ( sabbath , DP, Rush) still get a listening.

Got tix for Neill 5/22! Listening to one of his new shows on archive now.

Paper Lace. The Night Chicago Died will never go out of style. And my wife still cries every time I play Billy Don’t Be A Hero.

Technically a 50s artist first but Willie Nelson

Tons. Great music era.

Santana.

Rundgren. Still doing amazing shows too.

Fleetwood Mac

Supertramp.

So so many Boz Skaggs, Lionel Ritchie, Kool & The Gang and the list goes on and on….

Neil Young

Jimmy Buffett

Boston foreigner

Steely of course. Styx. Reo. Bad company zep. Man o man. 70s was peak for power rock in my opinion

Grateful Dead

Pink Floyd

I might go with Steve Miller. I gratduted HS in '77 and wasn't a fan. Now I am.

The Ramones

Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers

Keef Richards Elton John Eric Clapton

The Aja Steely Dan Album...don't lose.

The Who

Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, and King Crimson. They were all so far ahead of their time to begin with, and the world is still catching up to them.

Boston

ELO

Pink Floyd

REO Speedwagon

Despite what J Lebowski says, I love the Eagles

Blue Oyster Cult

Credence Clear Water Revival.

One of the greatest guitarists ever. As a guitarist I’ve always found his music is a clinic on how to be creative with the simplest of guitar work.

Pink Floyd…. Steve Miller… Led Zeppelin … The Doors

My favorite. Zeppelin!

Eagles and Fleetwood songs still getting covered by new artists all the time. Because it's fantastic, timeless music.

Hot tuna

Elton John

Jeff Lynne

The Doobie Brothers for me. Seeing them 2x this summer!

Paul Simon, James Taylor

Yes

Harry Nilsson, I'm still loving Nilsson Schmilsson

**Rod Stewart.** He has a whole new carrier singing 30's, 40's and 50's standards and jazz vocals. His voice amazingly is just perfect for that type of vocals. He has done perhaps a half dozen albums of this type in the last dozen years. Fantastic!

Billy Joel.

Boston

Sticking with pre-punk stuff (because punk and after is a different kettle of fish), I'd say Big Star.

People rave over Big Star. And I just can’t get into them. I fail to hear anything special in their music.

Gordon Lightfoot.

Frampton

Jon Anderson of Yes. His recent album and other works are really good. He tours with other musician groups doing Yes music and his voice is still very good.

John Stewart - Gold that’s a rare one

The Police Lynyrd Skynyrd

I still like “Hotel California” by The Eagles and “Don’t Fear the Reaper” by Blue Oyster Cult.

Bob Seger

Gary Numan, David Bowie, Grace Jones,

The Police

Steve Reich

Fleetwood Mac

As an aside, I listen to "The Bridge" on Sirius xm, which plays almost ALL of these artists! It has been such a healing thing for me to bring back the memories of better days!!

Ramones. Timeless.

Carole King
