While I have to question some of the 70's clothing (more so the fabrics) Kiss, Journey and Queen would be my fav 70's music.

I love everything about the '70s... culture, fashion, music, style, interior, politics...

My fave band must be Led Zeppelin.

my friend once told me i should live in the 70s but i think 60s and the 70s were both great...i view the music as one decade

i cant say i like all the music from that period..but lately..i been listening to alot of psychedelic from the 60s/70s
not alot of the popular artists like bowie..or pink floyd or led zeppelin thought..more of the "indie" stuff from that time
the pretty things, undertakers, blue cheer, the bards..etc.

i also like french music from around that period..probably more of the 60s
artists like francoise hardy, delphine, anna karina, brigitte bardot, jacques dutronc etc.

I'm listening to all my mums old records... Pink Floyd, and I'm loving America- my favourites are Ventura Highway and Sister Golden Hair. A lot more 70s music too

 

[electricladyland]

the style of the seventies kinda sucked. I only love it for nostalgia's sake. I like the 60's much better but the 70s had some great soul. Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, the Isley Brothers, the O Jays, James Brown...the list goes on and on. Not to mention all the FUNK music! Parliament, Rick James etc. 70's soul feeds me.

On the Brazilian side Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Maria Bethania, Os Mutantes, and Brazilian Funk!

 

[PoppyAzura]

^ nice list! Donna Summer does it for me.

 

[SiennaInLondon]

Donna Summer does it for me too Poppy!

I actually love 70s fashion but loathe anything to do with 60s fashion. All those blocks of colour and Mary Quant just makes me want to run a mile. The 70s were softer, earthier -more woodstock and 60s than the 60s themselves. The 60s were too bastardised 50s for my liking. But I meander...

 

[oomarhatelier]

giorgio moroder the father of disco!

 

[Erin]

I most definitely love the 60's more than the 70's, music-wise... but I am very in love with Zeppelin, T Rex (surprised more people haven't mentioned this band), Bad Company, Foreigner, Fleetwood Mac... some of the less glam stuff, but somewhat rock, nonetheless.

A lot of one-hit-wonder tunes that I love came out of the 70's, too... Tunes by the Raspberries (for those that don't know, the lead singer is Eric Carmen... of "Hungry Eyes" Dirty Dancing fame), Christopher Cross (late 70's), Argent (early 70's)... etc. etc.

 

[rayder]

i love 70s disco i love roxy music too

 

[Diamond Star]

Love the photos Rubie girl I'm more of a 60's fan like Erin, but there were great bands in the 70's, who inspired many later brilliant bands (like The Smiths)
