Your favourite band < '80s?

Featured Replies

Well, last week I've borrowed a collection of albums from the 60s, 70s and 80s. I rarely listen to any of that music apart from the occasional Beatles/The Who/The Rolling Stones etc my father listens to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But now that I'm into these bands, I really started to appreciate this music. So here's my question: what is the best, or your favourite band from before the eightees?

 

 

 

My vote goes to Queen.

I love that music :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My vote is for Dire Straits, even though they are 75>, and have several crappy songs, when they produce good music, they produce good music.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really like Pink Floyd and Deep Purple as well.

Mothers of Invention (more people should listen to them), Pink Floyd. The rest of that list that got quoted by Rick and Matt. The Beach Boys are worth a mention as well.

Oh, I'd like to mention The Average White Band. They're a great band form the '70's (If I am correct), they're the first (correct me if I am wrong) white (got one maybe two black members) band who got in the whole Motown concept. Deff. worth checking out. :)

The Eagles is the only band I listened to that is < 80s. I'm pretty sure they started at '72.
