Just honesty. I like a lot of different stuff about the same amount. To pare it down to a handful I'd have to just pick stuff arbitrarily, and it wouldn't be honest.

 

The Clash
Rockpile
The Jam

 

1. Steeleye Span (Hark!The Village Wait; Please To See The King; Ten Man Mop; Below The Salt; Parcel of Rogues; Storm Force Ten)
2. Wire (Pink Flag; Chairs Missing; 154)

The Who
The Clash
Elvis Costello and the Attractions

 

Wizzard
Slade
Wishbone Ash

 

Agreed, but the tread title is ¨your top 3 of the 70s¨

That's my top 3, regardless of impact on anything else. It's OK if your top 3 is within some general consensus, but I never cared about what the majority thought.

 

Joy Division
The Cure
The Clash

 

Genesis
T. Rex
Roxy Music.

 

Procol Harum
Kinks
Pink Floyd

 

The Pirates
Dr. Feelgood
Matchbox

 

Of course you're free to pick whoever you want; I was simply pointing out that they are known more as an 80s band, they "broke out" in the 80s and that is when they really made an impact. Kudos to you if you were into them in the 70s, you were ahead of the curve.

 

Yes they really broke out in the 80s really.

 

Yes
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd

Obvious choices, and I might have Thin Lizzy up there, too. (Part Irish, part American, but clearly based out of England).

 

The Who
Graham Parker and The Rumour
Roxy Music

 

Led Zeppelin
The Who
The Rolling Stones

 

That easy?
-Deep Purple.
-Black Sabbath.
-Led Zeppelin.

 

Black Sabbath
Pink Floyd
head and shoulders above the other bands IMHO...not sure who I'd chose for #3. Maybe Bowie?

 

King Crimson
Genesis
Roxy Music

Honorable mentions to Yes, Traffic, and Henry Cow.
