Occasionally... John's solo stuff can be quite horrible, and I don't really listen to much else from that era, so I guess I have to say... that

1. Journey
2. REO Speedwagon
3. Styx

[Danotron]

I guess it's true that one mans trash is another's treasure.

In the '70's I loved:

1. Black Sabbath
2. AC/DC
3. a tie between Rush and the Ramones (mid versus late '70's for me, as best as I remember).

Paul's dead on for the bottom 3 though, except for me in this order:

1. Styx
2. REO
3. Journey

[whojamfan]

The Ramones(oh, big surprise )
The Dictators
The Jam

Those are the three from the 70s that I still listen to on a regular basis

The 70s was such a diverse era of music that it brought new and inventive ways to suck, so I couldn't even begin to list a top three. Off the top of my head I would have to say,IMHO

1-Led Zeppelin-one of the best rhythm sections ever, but Robert Plants vocals are nails on a chalkboard to me, and Page is pretty sloppy for someone who the masses revere as a "guitar god."

2-Talking Heads-not punk, never were, never will be, just played and hung out at CBGBs when the whole thing went down. It makes me cringe at the amount of time they get in just about every punk documentary. There were so many other bands playing at that time there who rarely get mentioned,but have made their mark in the "punk" genre. I also just don't like their music(so what eh? )

3-Disco-the first shot in the murder of live music, being finished off by Karaoke. Why hire a band when we can get a dj or watch drunks sing Barry Manilow covers?

my 2 cents, off the top of my head anyways.
