The ‘Supergroups’ of the 70’s – just who were the best, what legacy’s did they leave their fans – and what did their music mean to you?
Try to encapsulate a formal Top 10 and you leave yourself wide open for comment, criticism and perhaps a little egg on your face.
Sure you can base your results on sales, hits or longevity – but hey – sometimes you’ve just got to go with your gut on this kind of thing and play favourites.
So in no real order let’s take a look at 10 of the best.
1. The Eagles
2. Boston
3. Queen
4. ELO
5. KISS
6. Pink Floyd
7. Led Zepplin
8. The Who
9. Abba
10. Fleetwood Mac
As for their best albums – well now you’re getting yourself into even deeper water – and yes – I’m expecting a little shouting from the rooftops on these as well.
1. Hotel California
2. Boston
3. Night at The Opera
4. Discovery
5. Alive
6. Dark Side of the Moon
7. Led Zepplin 3
8. Quadrophenia
9. Arrival
10. Rumours
OK – so I’ve left out your Steely Dans, Supertramps, Credence’s, AC/DC’s, Doobies, Status Quo’s and some of the more edgy stuff like the Ramones and Black Sabbath – but sometimes you’ve just got to draw a line in the sand.
Ladies and gentlemen – feel free to fire at will . . .
