Hey, respect for including ELO. They are still HUGE, and invariably sell out every date on every tour they play - just about to start another and the tickets are selling for top shelf prices. Impressive back catalogue from one of the least well known biggest selling bands in the world (after Rush... ;-) )
ELO...when I was a little kid, we used to have a console stereo with a record player, a tape deck, and, wait for it...an EIGHT TRACK. My mom had 8-track cassettes of Bachman Turner Overdrive and Electric Light Orchestra, for just a couple. I ask you, HOW iconically '70s IS that? Wow. XD It's too bad the 8-track player was the first part of the stereo to break. Those things were weirdly ahead of their time in a way.
Someone else that I feel has been excluded is Zappa. I understand he’s kind of hard to place under any genre really, but I feel rock is probably the closest without getting into sub genres (he’s really Jazz Fusion). He was and is hugely influential, I may have missed him though, but with the Mothers in the 60s and his solo career in the 70s with albums like Joe’s Garage and Sheik Yeribouti was very important.
Frank is the one guy who sadly kept getting removed from these videos. I had a segment about The Mothers in the 60s that had to be removed for time reasons. He has a brief moment in the 80s when talking about the PMRC. Nick and I have been discussing a playlist video for him, so that will come out eventually.
Well done! Between the 2 videos you've now covered all the 70's bands I cared about most... except: (thinking back through my high school record collection) Grand Funk RR, Argent, BTO, Blood Sweat & Tears, 3 Dog Night, Bob Seger, (early) Chicago, Firefall, Guess Who, Jethro Tull, Toto, and probably dozens more I can't remember now.
I am most disturbed by Chicago missing from here. They may have been bigger in the 80s, but early Chicago is where it is at. Early Chicago is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Even Jimi Hendrix said that Terry Kath was a better guitarist than him. Not to mention they had at least 3 people in the band that could sing and the whole band was amazing. 25 or 6 to 4 has to be one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded. Just not sure how you could talk about the 70s and miss them.
As a SWEET and Marc Bolan fan,I was wondering why you didn’t mention them in the 70´s episode,but thanks for taking the time to mention them in this 70’s extra and for the explanation,very appreciated. No need to say that Marc Bolan is one of the founders of Glam Rock and SWEET had an influence on many artists like Def Leppard,Scorpions,Joan Jett and more...Keep up your good work,thank you!
Well you had two chances to include the one group that totally dominated the 70's - CHICAGO!!! Even Hendrix told the band that Terry Kath was a better guitarist that he was and took them on the road with him. Huge oversight ... I did enjoy these, though. Thanks!

@@williamlangan5902 Stay the Night rocks in comparison to the rest of Chicago 17 - it at least has rock guitars and Peter putting grit into his voice Plus, that music video is loads of fun
@@Malkmusianful , good point. However, I'm comparing it to their even earlier stuff- I'm A Man, Sing A Mean Tune Kid and 25 Or 6 To 4. That may be an unfair comparison to you. But if you haven't heard much from 1969-74, it's worth checking out.
"Even if Lee sings like an old woman"... I'm dead, he does xD Good video. Not surprised this era in particular needed this informative / Apollogetic follow-up video... Especially with the internet loving to point out missed oppurtunities...
...I gotta say, I dunno about "old" exactly, but...yeah, if I just heard that without knowing who the group was, I would TOTALLY think that was a girl! Not that that's necessarily a bad thing; some people just have androgynous voices and that's kind of interesting. But I would NEVER have guessed guy. It sounds like one of those badass rock chicks. :P
Love that you mentioned ELO in this video, really missed them in the previous one. Also wondering how big was Golden Earring in the united states? They were the biggest band of the era over here in the 70s and had success internationally but I don't know how big that success was.
I think "Radar Love" got some attention, but speaking from my own experience, they've never really come up on classic rock radio or in any rock history books or documentaries I watched.
Definitely should have talked more about the southern rock scene after skynyrd. It was an entirely different audience. Skynyrd, outlaws, Marshal Tucker, .38 special, Molly Hatchet. I mean maybe even pure prairie league. Also missed out on Bob Seger, I was hoping he’d be be mentioned sometime in one of the videos but no not even a mention. He was huge with multiple hits. I know he’s pretty tight on copyrights too but deserving of a mention. Also my favorite guitar riff of probably ever and an amazing song: spirit in the sky by Norman greenbaum. Such an obscure person but an unbelievable song.
You hit the nail on the head with copyright. Generally if I can't use something I just won't even mention them (The Eagles were a special case because you just can't leave them out).
Your history of Rock & Roll in the 70s is gorgeous and the "Extras" close some important gaps! Only problem is that you still left out the REALLY important acts: Devo, XTC, Wire, Buzzcocks, the Damned, the Stranglers, Pere Ubu, the Residents, Suicide, Ultravox!, Gang of Four, Pop Group, Public Image Limited, Tuxedomoon, the B-52s, Yello, Magazine, Renaldo & the Loaf, the Blitzoids ... ;-)
Love you guys but I was surprised you didn't include KISS I Was Made for Lovin' You in the disco crossover segment. Paul Stanley even wrote it to prove how easy hit disco tracks were to make.
Meatloaf was eddie in rocky horror picture show...honorable mentions to bands like the flying burrito bros, gram parsons, nitty gritty dirt band for inventing the california country sound and included bands like firefall, poco, pure prairie league and the Eagles
Bands that first recorded in or helped define the 1970s sounds: Talking Heads; Television; Dead Boys; X; Warren Zevon; Bonnie Raitt; Gil Scott-Heron; Parliament; Blind Faith; Dead Kennedys; The Clash; Gen X; ZZTop; Jefferson Starship; Grateful Dead; Sly and the Family Stone; Zappa; Iggy Pop; Lou Reed; Little Feet; Tower of Power; Van Morrison; New Riders of the Purple Sage; Big Star; Joan Armatrading - one could go on ... nearly forever.
Just what I needed to cheer up a rainy day in Scotland! Brilliant JT, It Occurred to me there were other 70s bands that I forgot and don't think got a mention........ Steve Marriott with The Small Faces and Humble Pie. ("All or nothing"....."Tin Soldier"....."Stay With Me Baby") The Sensational Alex Harvey Band ( with "NEXT" being one of many well known songs) it's worth checking them out Dr Feelgood ("Roxette" one of many brilliant rock songs) Motörhead and Lemmy ( Ace of Spades) Alice Cooper ("School's Out") Lynyrd Skynrd ("Sweet Home Alabama."......."Freeboard")
Alice Cooper's "School's Out" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Freebird" are all in the original video. I even mentioned the Lynyrd Skynyrd - Neil Young rivalry. Also Ace of Spades came out in 1980.
There's a big segment about MTV in the script, but again, I can't go through everything (PopClips, Radio With Pictures, Album Tracks, etc.) Lennon, Tina, and MJ will all be talked about... though you might not like what I have to say about MJ...
OMG what about CHICAGO? They created such good music-fusing jazz & rock! Terry Kath is an amazing guitarist and the horn players are so good! Literally my second favorite band after the Beatles.
Good point. They were considered, specifically "25 or 6 to 4" but sadly Chicago got lost in the shuffle with so many other bands. Great band nonetheless.
sadly 'lost' my ORIGINAL !! "Chicago Transit Authority" - Those Peoples were some absolutely terrific musicians , and a 'smooth' introduction to Zappa !!!
No Grand Funk Railroad. No Jesus Christ Superstar nor the Rocky Picture Horror Show. No Soft Rock, which is definitely a subgenre of Rock in that it had ‘Rock’ in its name.
Some more British Music please. Rory Gallagher, U.F.O., Wishbone Ash, Alan Parsons, Ten Years After, Atomic Rooster, Beggars Opera, Magnum, Billy Idol, Blood Sweat & Tears, Brian Eno, Captain Beyond, Chicken Shack, Edgar Broughton Band, Frijid Pink, Golden Earring(NL), and so many more.....
Supertramp was good, very popular and had perfectly made studio music. Steely Dan should had been discussed more and Zappa of course. And Traffic with Steve Winwood a true genious of soul rock.
I was scared u wouldnt mention steve miller band when I was at the 10 minute mark out of 12 minutes, but u did mention it. I do wish you would have covered it more but, im not gonna complain.
I don't have much to say about Steve Miller honestly. He wrote some catchy tunes, good performer, not much else I can think of as opposed to so many other iconic acts of this time. But yeah, we decided to throw him a quick mention at the end.
I haven't even watched this yet, but I'm pretty sure you have missed, Manfred Mann's Earth band, Nightingales and Bombers, Mahavishnu Orchestra, with John Mcglauclan Visions from the Emerald Beyond, Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark, Steely Dan's Countdown to Ecstacy, Bozz Scaggs Bozz Scaggs, Return to Forever with Chick Corea, Jeff Beck Wired, Van Morrison, JJ Cale Troubadour (Cocaine), Patti Smith Horses, Rodriguez Coming from Reality and Cold Fact, Little Feat, and more. Of coarse all these are the most classy and masterful musicians. Joe Walsh Rock Mountain Way on the radio. Oh I forgot. Living in Australia in the 70's I saw ACDC in a pub in Adelaide in 1975. They were playing on the small dance floor with about 30 people around them as Angus went into a fit playing the SG while Bondy sang hysterically. I was 16. Oh, if if you never mention Joan Armatrading, don't do decade music videos 🤯 Honestly though love this series and the comedy is a required touch🤪😜✌️ I keep coming back here to add more. Santana only got publically known at Woodstock, so the 70's was really their decade. Saw them in 77 and radio was playing their hits every week throughout 70's.
I love a lot of these bands / artists you've mentioned, but I don't know if I'd call some of them rock and roll. If we're talking about jazz / fusion stuff, that'll take forever to get through in the 70s.
@@JTCurtisMusic I often say to people, the great bands of the 70's really came out of the 60's. Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Santana, Joan Armatrading, Eric Clapton, The Stones. Saw the Stones at 13 in 72. I have a friend that saw Hendrix at Isle of Wight in 1970. Just my narrow opinion, for what it's worth, but the eighties was the beginning of the end. There's only one really significant band that came out in the Eighties, Talking Heads. If you go to (reaction videos) of the seventies, you'll be amazed at how the people of today react. Comments like, " what happened to music", " is this for real", " these musicians are so amazing", and the most popular reaction to 60's and 70's music is, " I was born in the wrong era ". Just some observations. If you get a chance look up some of those Albums I mentioned, your head will be spinning. Cheers, take care.
@@mvagusta6757 I did another video about the 80s, you won't get much of an argument from me there. But I'd say the 90s was a pretty solid decade for rock, at least the first half. Did a video about that too.
@@JTCurtisMusic there's only one artist I'd like to mention, even though he's not rock, More like a blend of pop, funk and R&B. Prince. Even though I was never a fan, I came to appreciate some of his tuned. The main reason I took him seriously was because he was one of the rare people that understood the total genius of Jimi Hendrix. Really he was a disciple. Clapton was once asked, what's it like to be the greatest Rock guitarist. He said, " I don't know, ask Prince." Some years later Prince, when asked who he thought was the best said, " Jimi is still the Man ". So it's hard to get away from what was produced in the 60s and 70s, though some pretend the past didn't exist. My final analogy on contempory music, from the 50's till now is that a massive tidal wave was building up from the 50's, and it peaked with Jimi. A massive Tube formed through out the 70's that was the most exquisite ride. By the time we got to the 80s the wave was just a lot of foam. And that foam is still rolling along. My favourite artist today is Chris Stapleton.🙏✌️👍
Elvis - comeback of sorts? No. It was an historic comeback. He was the most successful touring act (not just Vegas) of the decade. He was consistently on the charts from 69-72. Burning Love is an amazing tune. His stage performances from the early portion of the decade are partially the reason why he is considered the greatest stage performer ever. Yes, Elvis declined severely post 1973, but his Aloha from Hawaii special was the first satellite concert ever and the most watched TV special OF ALL-TIME. That's not historic enough to get mentioned? He's the most consistent record seller of the decade. Check the numbers.
from 1970 to 1975 ELVIS WAS STILL VERY GOOD THIS GUY IS OFF HIS ROCKER LOL FOR SAYING WHAT HE SAID ABOUT Elvis in te 70s Watch his videos from Hawaii 1973
One event I'm surprised you didn't mention was the death of Keith Moon. The Who put out some real quality work in the '70s after Who's Next like Quadrophenia and Who Are You: their final masterpiece. Keith Moon's death marked the end of The Who's relevance and paired with John Bonham's very similar death two years later, it kind of marked the end of an era for rock and roll.
Hello from Cleveland being Born in 59 I witnessed all the changes in Rock. A song from 65 just 5 years later was just a huge difference and seemed like 2 decades apart unlike now a song from 2000 23 years later could have no difference at all. There are 2 Groups one Early 70’s that was short lived but very big and That was Mott The Hoople. That is understandable how ever Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band in the late 70’s oye! I saw a Tuber rate the most overated Groups of all time and place Genises near the top! He was bombed with comments I told Him Stick to rating bands from when He was alive He had no idea how well They were received here back then The Lamb Carpet Crawlers and Snowbound to name a few on their own should have kept them off His list any way Brother I hope Seager makes Your 80’s list. My first live show was this Brit First time in the USA and He played Cleveland First His name was David Bowie 😊
Thank you for the education. I did not know, and maybe I should, that Aretha Franklin did a cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Water." I do not know - or care - about any version other than Simon and Garfunkel's. That is not meant, in any way, to discredit Aretha. It just means that if Art Garfunkel is not singing the song, you will not hear it coming out of my speakers! Funny to mention that song because with all the heavy metal I give neighbors headaches with, that is my favorite song of all time.
Sorry Steely Dan is NOT a footnote in the 70's, this music has been so influential for just about every instrument in pop music, every album has hit's and just as much as Stairway was played, so were Peg, Deacon blues, Black Cow, and Aja(well every track on the album(Aja) was a radio staple), not to mention FM(the song remember that /In Stereo!!!!). Bob Marley was a bona fide Rock star in the 70's not to mention Peter Tosh. And the Doobies were a major act, and a major influence, needed more time, even steve miller needed more time. Great show though look forward to the 80's, Ozzy, Ozzy.
@@garrettnewman3505 This was at the time my current listening to Steve Miller in the last 42 years is zero times(I hold absolutely no torch here but was way popular at the time, so were the DB's on NYC radio). Billboard stats Abracadabra Peaked at #1 on 9.3.1982 The Joker Peaked at #1 on 1.11.1974 Fly Like An Eagle Peaked at #2 on 3.11.1977 Rock'n Me Peaked at #1 on 11.5.1976 Jet Airliner Peaked at #8 on 7.8.1977 Take The Money And Run Peaked at #11 on 7.23.1976 Swingtown Peaked at #17 on 12.23.1977 Jungle Love Peaked at #23 on 9.30.1977 (I know that is a little low but they still played this ALOT on the radio)
Istill don't understand why Traffic was not included or the real Supe Group - Blind Faith or Silmarillion, Supertramp, Blue oyster Cult, Great White? They had more influence on Rock/Prog Rock than most of the bands featured in the 2 episodes & the extras
Traffic is best known for their 60s output, though I do enjoy John Barleycorn Must Die from 1970. Blind Faith was 1969, Great White was the 80s, and Blue Oyster Cult is briefly showcased in the original 70s HOR video.
@@JTCurtisMusic Traffic wasn't touched properly in the '60s show either although you had asked us to keep an eye on Winwood while talking about Spencer Davis Group but was disappointed when Traffic was not mentioned. Berkshire poppies/Hole in my shoe/20000 headmen/Low Spark etc. etc.
The funny thing about Rush is, I knew nothing about them until a couple of years ago. And I considered myself to be quite familiar with prog rock: Pink Floyd, Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, King Crimson (were they mentioned?), Yes etc., but not Rush. I think I knew there was a band with that name, but I have never heard it. Perhaps they are mostly big in North America, but not so much in Europe?
The '70's without Springsteen is like the '60's without the Beatles. Also, two bands put out two albums that had top record sales of all time: Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles.
@@JTCurtisMusic Hey, your musicianship and humor are top quality. I was on the road playing through the '70's and '80's, but I respect your right to have your own opinion.
Neither episode and The Jam were not mentioned. Not even mentioned when you mentioned The Sex Pistols and The Clash. By the end of the 1970s they had released four albums, and a few stand alone singles, and wait and not watched the 1980s videos.
The video was already basically done by the time Aretha passed. I wrote up and recorded a quick tribute myself at the last minute to fit Aretha's tribute into the video. This one in particular didn't take too long, except for juggling everyone's busy schedules together.
@@JTCurtisMusic Yeah, I watched the 80s video too and got the Talking Heads stuff. But wasn't their best stuff from CBGBs? Psycokiller, etc. By the 80s they were doing Road to Nowhere, which was rather too Pop mainstream. Sadly no mention of Kate Bush.
@@DarylBaines well like I said, can't mention everything in a decade that's so overjammed with classic songs. Plus I had a point to make with The Talking Heads utilizing the visual medium so had to save them for the 80s. But yeah Pyschokiller, all that stuff is great.
Is the Jackson 5 really rock and roll? I can think of about 20 other Motown acts that should be talked about before the Jackson 5 (some of which I did back in the 60s videos). Besides they get a brief mention in the 80s video.
What is "Car Scratch Fever"? Dire Straits get talked about in the 80s. I could have sworn "Sultans of Swing" was mentioned in the first video, but I guess it wasn't...
Also like to mention that some of the most innovative (rock) music in the 70's came from West Germany, with bands such Can, Neu!, Faust, Ash Ra Tempel, Cluster, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. They generally moved away from the blues roots and incorporated elements of avant-garde or electronica. The scene undoubtedly had a big influence on art rock and new wave, and there's clearly an echo of it f.e. in David Bowie's "Berlin trilogy" (Low, Heroes and Lodger, 1977-79). A band like Can seems to have been a big influence on Radiohead as well. And of course Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk have influenced electronic music up until today. (I am to too keen on the "Krautrock" label the scene has gotten because of its somewhat derogatory connotations)
To my knowledge, the only band from that era that really made it to the American charts was Kraftwerk (Specifically the Autobahn album) but I wouldn't consider this rock music. I'm sure they did have an influence on Bowie, Brian Eno, Gary Neumann, etc, but I can only get into so much...
@@JTCurtisMusic Have to agree. I'm a huge rock fan, and love the electronika that came out of the Berlin and Dusseldorf scenes in the 1970s, and extending to all of the English bands they so heavily influenced in the 1980s, which I also love. But NONE of them are rock bands - progressive, experimental electronica, YES ! But not rock by any stretch of the imagination. So, good call.
@@JTCurtisMusic well - it was Never 'specified' as who made it BIG ( and/or 'influential' ) in the 'States' .... - some 'American' and/or Canadian performers/bands were really more popular and 'influential' outside their home turf , e.g. 'Yes' , Lou Red - Velvet Underground a.o. ...

I have to say I love these videos, but Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers deserved a lot more time than you gave many other lesser bands.
7:30 just a few decades later, they would be sampled in Face to Face off an album also titled "Discovery"
Grand Funk Railroad was forgotten. :'(

cant wait for the 1980s bro keep it up!!!!
Alot of 70s cover songs
Great series JT
can't wait for the 80s! i am a very big fan of these series of videos, this channel is gold
Why a lot of them are just cover songs from the 70s
Three dog night, Chicago great horn section They had so many great tunes I consider them Rock and roll
AWESOME AWESOME WORK YOU THREE!!!!!!!!!
Definitely should have talked more about the southern rock scene after skynyrd. It was an entirely different audience. Skynyrd, outlaws, Marshal Tucker, .38 special, Molly Hatchet. I mean maybe even pure prairie league. Also missed out on Bob Seger, I was hoping he’d be be mentioned sometime in one of the videos but no not even a mention. He was huge with multiple hits. I know he’s pretty tight on copyrights too but deserving of a mention. Also my favorite guitar riff of probably ever and an amazing song: spirit in the sky by Norman greenbaum. Such an obscure person but an unbelievable song.
You hit the nail on the head with copyright. Generally if I can't use something I just won't even mention them (The Eagles were a special case because you just can't leave them out).
Fanny 👍👍👍👍👍 Steely Dan wow
Hey guys can u plz include Mayblitz, Captain beyond, Truth and Janey, Mountain ✌️👍👍👍
Mountain is a good band 👍
Fukin Awesome video! This adds so much, ty.
I will stay tuned for the 80s, great luck o/
Alot of the 80s will be 70s cover songs
Your history of Rock & Roll in the 70s is gorgeous and the "Extras" close some important gaps! Only problem is that you still left out the REALLY important acts: Devo, XTC, Wire, Buzzcocks, the Damned, the Stranglers, Pere Ubu, the Residents, Suicide, Ultravox!, Gang of Four, Pop Group, Public Image Limited, Tuxedomoon, the B-52s, Yello, Magazine, Renaldo & the Loaf, the Blitzoids ... ;-)
Talking Heads get mentioned in the 80s episode.
@@JTCurtisMusic, okay, I'll exchange them for Tuxedomoon! ;-)
Love you guys but I was surprised you didn't include KISS I Was Made for Lovin' You in the disco crossover segment. Paul Stanley even wrote it to prove how easy hit disco tracks were to make.
I wish we could have had you talk more about genesis especially lamb lies down
Meatloaf was eddie in rocky horror picture show...honorable mentions to bands like the flying burrito bros, gram parsons, nitty gritty dirt band for inventing the california country sound and included bands like firefall, poco, pure prairie league and the Eagles
Bands that first recorded in or helped define the 1970s sounds: Talking Heads; Television; Dead Boys; X; Warren Zevon; Bonnie Raitt; Gil Scott-Heron; Parliament; Blind Faith; Dead Kennedys; The Clash; Gen X; ZZTop; Jefferson Starship; Grateful Dead; Sly and the Family Stone; Zappa; Iggy Pop; Lou Reed; Little Feet; Tower of Power; Van Morrison; New Riders of the Purple Sage; Big Star; Joan Armatrading - one could go on ... nearly forever.
Neil Diamond
I need to buy more Goldfish.
Just what I needed to cheer up a rainy day in Scotland! Brilliant JT, It Occurred to me there were other 70s bands that I forgot and don't think got a mention........
Steve Marriott with The Small Faces and Humble Pie. ("All or nothing"....."Tin Soldier"....."Stay With Me Baby")
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band ( with "NEXT" being one of many well known songs) it's worth checking them out
Dr Feelgood ("Roxette" one of many brilliant rock songs)
Motörhead and Lemmy ( Ace of Spades)
Alice Cooper ("School's Out")
Lynyrd Skynrd ("Sweet Home Alabama."......."Freeboard")
Alice Cooper's "School's Out" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Freebird" are all in the original video. I even mentioned the Lynyrd Skynyrd - Neil Young rivalry.
Also Ace of Spades came out in 1980.
Steely Dan - 11:24
The Doobie Brothers - 11:35
And I mentioned Graham Parsons briefly in the 60s video
I can't cover everything dude
There's a big segment about MTV in the script, but again, I can't go through everything (PopClips, Radio With Pictures, Album Tracks, etc.) Lennon, Tina, and MJ will all be talked about... though you might not like what I have to say about MJ...
@@JTCurtisMusic ....maybe if you cut out half of dorky interruptions & lame attempts at humor?
Wow! My comment made into your video 4:48! Also, thank you for addressing that elephant in the room.
OMG what about CHICAGO? They created such good music-fusing jazz & rock! Terry Kath is an amazing guitarist and the horn players are so good! Literally my second favorite band after the Beatles.
Good point. They were considered, specifically "25 or 6 to 4" but sadly Chicago got lost in the shuffle with so many other bands. Great band nonetheless.
sadly 'lost' my ORIGINAL !! "Chicago Transit Authority" - Those Peoples were some absolutely terrific musicians , and a 'smooth' introduction to Zappa !!!
No Grand Funk Railroad.
No Jesus Christ Superstar nor the Rocky Picture Horror Show.
No Soft Rock, which is definitely a subgenre of Rock in that it had ‘Rock’ in its name.
Left out Terry Kath. And left out Chicago with Terry Kath. Wow. 😢
Left out Grand Funk .
I enjoyed the videos however. Y’all did a good job!
Was hoping you’d mention YES!
would have loved to see nick sing rock lobster in this video
This was cool
6:06
History of Rock - The 1990s confirmed.
Creed was early 2000s
The 70s! Now we’re talkin’.
Some more British Music please. Rory Gallagher, U.F.O., Wishbone Ash, Alan Parsons, Ten Years After, Atomic Rooster, Beggars Opera, Magnum, Billy Idol, Blood Sweat & Tears, Brian Eno, Captain Beyond, Chicken Shack, Edgar Broughton Band, Frijid Pink, Golden Earring(NL), and so many more.....
Billy Idol was the 80s
@@JTCurtisMusic
Ups, correct🤭
Supertramp was good, very popular and had perfectly made studio music. Steely Dan should had been discussed more and Zappa of course. And Traffic with Steve Winwood a true genious of soul rock.
I was scared u wouldnt mention steve miller band when I was at the 10 minute mark out of 12 minutes, but u did mention it. I do wish you would have covered it more but, im not gonna complain.
I don't have much to say about Steve Miller honestly. He wrote some catchy tunes, good performer, not much else I can think of as opposed to so many other iconic acts of this time. But yeah, we decided to throw him a quick mention at the end.
Should definitely mention Talking Heads here!
80s
@@JTCurtisMusic EXACTLY
JTCurtisMusic your videos definitely deserve more views! Thanks for your work
@@JTCurtisMusic Their first album is called 77 for a reason. Psycho killer qu'est que c'est?
I haven't even watched this yet, but I'm pretty sure you have missed, Manfred Mann's Earth band, Nightingales and Bombers, Mahavishnu Orchestra, with John Mcglauclan Visions from the Emerald Beyond, Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark, Steely Dan's Countdown to Ecstacy, Bozz Scaggs
Bozz Scaggs, Return to Forever with Chick Corea, Jeff Beck Wired, Van Morrison, JJ Cale Troubadour (Cocaine), Patti Smith Horses, Rodriguez Coming from Reality and Cold Fact, Little Feat, and more. Of coarse all these are the most classy and masterful musicians. Joe Walsh Rock Mountain Way on the radio.
Oh I forgot. Living in Australia in the 70's I saw ACDC in a pub in Adelaide in 1975. They were playing on the small dance floor with about 30 people around them as Angus went into a fit playing the SG while Bondy sang hysterically. I was 16.
Oh, if if you never mention Joan Armatrading, don't do decade music videos 🤯
Honestly though love this series and the comedy is a required touch🤪😜✌️ I keep coming back here to add more. Santana only got publically known at Woodstock, so the 70's was really their decade. Saw them in 77 and radio was playing their hits every week throughout 70's.
I love a lot of these bands / artists you've mentioned, but I don't know if I'd call some of them rock and roll. If we're talking about jazz / fusion stuff, that'll take forever to get through in the 70s.
@@JTCurtisMusic I often say to people, the great bands of the 70's really came out of the 60's. Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Santana, Joan Armatrading, Eric Clapton, The Stones. Saw the Stones at 13 in 72.
I have a friend that saw Hendrix at Isle of Wight in 1970.
Just my narrow opinion, for what it's worth, but the eighties was the beginning of the end. There's only one really significant band that came out in the Eighties, Talking Heads.
If you go to (reaction videos) of the seventies, you'll be amazed at how the people of today react. Comments like, " what happened to music", " is this for real", " these musicians are so amazing", and the most popular reaction to 60's and 70's music is, " I was born in the wrong era ". Just some observations.
If you get a chance look up some of those Albums I mentioned, your head will be spinning. Cheers, take care.
@@mvagusta6757 I did another video about the 80s, you won't get much of an argument from me there. But I'd say the 90s was a pretty solid decade for rock, at least the first half. Did a video about that too.
@@JTCurtisMusic Agreed, there was some goodies in the 90s. Chilli Peppers comes to mind.
@@JTCurtisMusic there's only one artist I'd like to mention, even though he's not rock, More like a blend of pop, funk and R&B. Prince. Even though I was never a fan, I came to appreciate some of his tuned. The main reason I took him seriously was because he was one of the rare people that understood the total genius of Jimi Hendrix. Really he was a disciple. Clapton was once asked, what's it like to be the greatest Rock guitarist. He said, " I don't know, ask Prince." Some years later Prince, when asked who he thought was the best said, " Jimi is still the Man ". So it's hard to get away from what was produced in the 60s and 70s, though some pretend the past didn't exist. My final analogy on contempory music, from the 50's till now is that a massive tidal wave was building up from the 50's, and it peaked with Jimi. A massive Tube formed through out the 70's that was the most exquisite ride. By the time we got to the 80s the wave was just a lot of foam. And that foam is still rolling along.
My favourite artist today is
Chris Stapleton.🙏✌️👍
Hearing y’all talk about meatloaf is pretty upsetting due to his untimely passing
Genesis!!!!!! A remarkable band you forgot!! Good show!!
Forgot? I clearly say in this video "I HAD planned to talk about Genesis". Just couldn't fit them in and make the flow work.
Elvis - comeback of sorts? No. It was an historic comeback. He was the most successful touring act (not just Vegas) of the decade. He was consistently on the charts from 69-72. Burning Love is an amazing tune. His stage performances from the early portion of the decade are partially the reason why he is considered the greatest stage performer ever. Yes, Elvis declined severely post 1973, but his Aloha from Hawaii special was the first satellite concert ever and the most watched TV special OF ALL-TIME. That's not historic enough to get mentioned? He's the most consistent record seller of the decade. Check the numbers.
from 1970 to 1975 ELVIS WAS STILL VERY GOOD THIS GUY IS OFF HIS ROCKER LOL FOR SAYING WHAT HE SAID ABOUT Elvis in te 70s Watch his videos from Hawaii 1973
This clown that made this video needs to watch 70s Elvis in stead of saying A LIE
Good luck with the 1980s video, you're doing great!
Why theres a lot of good 70s covers done in the 80s
How about, in no particular order, Supertramp, Dan Fogelberg, Loggins and Messina, Carly Simon, Jim Croce, Tom Waits, or Marshall Tucker?
One event I'm surprised you didn't mention was the death of Keith Moon. The Who put out some real quality work in the '70s after Who's Next like Quadrophenia and Who Are You: their final masterpiece. Keith Moon's death marked the end of The Who's relevance and paired with John Bonham's very similar death two years later, it kind of marked the end of an era for rock and roll.
Elvis Costello was also meant to replace the Sex Pistols for his SNL debut performance, just want to mention that.
Imagine the Sex Pistols playing there. I don’t know what SNL expected to happen honestly.
Supertramp was not mentioned…😢
Why didn't you mention Journey, they were big in the late 70s, and then into the 80s
Journey didn't get big until the 80s. They WILL be talked about in that video.
Okay
My mum loves Journey! :D
Btw, I updated the playlist: open.spotify.com/user/gi_giacomeli/playlist/36c3fSOHUsAJWgP5sW0Tvl
Hello from Cleveland being Born in 59 I witnessed all the changes in Rock. A song from 65 just 5 years later was just a huge difference and seemed like 2 decades apart unlike now a song from 2000 23 years later could have no difference at all. There are 2 Groups one Early 70’s that was short lived but very big and That was Mott The Hoople. That is understandable how ever Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band in the late 70’s oye! I saw a Tuber rate the most overated Groups of all time and place Genises near the top! He was bombed with comments I told Him Stick to rating bands from when He was alive He had no idea how well They were received here back then The Lamb Carpet Crawlers and Snowbound to name a few on their own should have kept them off His list any way Brother I hope Seager makes Your 80’s list. My first live show was this Brit First time in the USA and He played Cleveland First His name was David Bowie 😊
Thank you for the education. I did not know, and maybe I should, that Aretha Franklin did a cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Water." I do not know - or care - about any version other than Simon and Garfunkel's. That is not meant, in any way, to discredit Aretha. It just means that if Art Garfunkel is not singing the song, you will not hear it coming out of my speakers! Funny to mention that song because with all the heavy metal I give neighbors headaches with, that is my favorite song of all time.
7:28 Nice reference to pre-season 8 Game of Thrones ;)
Sorry Steely Dan is NOT a footnote in the 70's, this music has been so influential for just about every instrument in pop music, every album has hit's and just as much as Stairway was played, so were Peg, Deacon blues, Black Cow, and Aja(well every track on the album(Aja) was a radio staple), not to mention FM(the song remember that /In Stereo!!!!). Bob Marley was a bona fide Rock star in the 70's not to mention Peter Tosh. And the Doobies were a major act, and a major influence, needed more time, even steve miller needed more time.
Great show though look forward to the 80's, Ozzy, Ozzy.
surpk1 did the doobie brothers really need more time? They had so many hits. Steve Miller has the least hits.
@@garrettnewman3505 This was at the time my current listening to Steve Miller in the last 42 years is zero times(I hold absolutely no torch here but was way popular at the time, so were the DB's on NYC radio).

Gentle Giant
Istill don't understand why Traffic was not included or the real Supe Group - Blind Faith or Silmarillion, Supertramp, Blue oyster Cult, Great White? They had more influence on Rock/Prog Rock than most of the bands featured in the 2 episodes & the extras
Traffic is best known for their 60s output, though I do enjoy John Barleycorn Must Die from 1970. Blind Faith was 1969, Great White was the 80s, and Blue Oyster Cult is briefly showcased in the original 70s HOR video.
@@JTCurtisMusic Traffic wasn't touched properly in the '60s show either although you had asked us to keep an eye on Winwood while talking about Spencer Davis Group but was disappointed when Traffic was not mentioned. Berkshire poppies/Hole in my shoe/20000 headmen/Low Spark etc. etc.
Supertramp is ignored for some reason
Will you be talking about Pink Floyd’s film, The Wall, in the 1980s video?
Forgot about the Last Walz show
That was definitely one I was planning on including but never got around to. Shows you how much was going on in this decade.
@@JTCurtisMusic also there was a rockabilly revival in the late 70s too
STYX! 🤘
Chicago
The funny thing about Rush is, I knew nothing about them until a couple of years ago. And I considered myself to be quite familiar with prog rock: Pink Floyd, Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, King Crimson (were they mentioned?), Yes etc., but not Rush. I think I knew there was a band with that name, but I have never heard it. Perhaps they are mostly big in North America, but not so much in Europe?
Yes King Crimson was mentioned in the original video.
The '70's without Springsteen is like the '60's without the Beatles. Also, two bands put out two albums that had top record sales of all time: Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles.
You watched the original 70s video right?
@@JTCurtisMusic Hey, your musicianship and humor are top quality. I was on the road playing through the '70's and '80's, but I respect your right to have your own opinion.
I’m bumped that you didn’t include the Specials or Madness in the 70s or 80s videos
There were both on our radar just kinda got lost in the shuffle. Good bands though!
@@JTCurtisMusic well, i’m glad that you did consider them. 👍 Keep it up, JT!
7:20 Jeff Lynne could be Eric Bloom's older brother.
No Guess Who-BTO? The most popular band of 1970
Again, mentioned in the 1960s
R.I.P. Meatloaf
Would have loved to see Uriah Heep in this video...
She is SO NOT playing bass on come sail away. Your videos are great! No need to fake it.....
I mean neither of our guitars are plugged in, we clearly overdubbed them (as we've done in I dunno how many videos by now).
Neither episode and The Jam were not mentioned. Not even mentioned when you mentioned The Sex Pistols and The Clash. By the end of the 1970s they had released four albums, and a few stand alone singles, and wait and not watched the 1980s videos.
80s
Zeppelin or Floyd?
Zeppelin: Like
Floyd: Comment
@@Amber_xo_133 Floyd anyday…
from a DJ >>>>Great show
What about dire straits???
We gave them their due in the 80s video.
Still no mention of Bob Seger!
You forgot to mention Grandfunk Railroad!
Loud, but mediocre. At best. But Homer Simpson's favorite.
No mention of Ian Gillian and his Gethsemane from JCS? JCS itself was game-chabger
I don’t care about history! Rock Rock rock and roll highs cool 😎
The sweet ?
Talking about the 70’s and no talking about AC DC is the worst silly thing you would do
Should have talked about the clash
The Clash are in the original video.
Left out BTO.
You brought up New Wave and didn’t even get to mention the Talking Heads
80s video
@@JTCurtisMusic I watched it, and finished the entire series the entire series in a night great set of videos
How quickly are these videos made because he mentioned stuff that just happened the other day
The video was already basically done by the time Aretha passed. I wrote up and recorded a quick tribute myself at the last minute to fit Aretha's tribute into the video. This one in particular didn't take too long, except for juggling everyone's busy schedules together.
What about Boston, Queensryche
Boston was in the first 70s video
Also Queensryche was formed in 1980.
OK, so you caught up with Genesis ... but Talking Heads!!!???!!!
... and for pioneering women in Rock - Suzi Quatro?
Talking Heads in the 80s. Suzi Quatro is quite badass, but sadly no one requested her.
@@JTCurtisMusic Yeah, I watched the 80s video too and got the Talking Heads stuff. But wasn't their best stuff from CBGBs? Psycokiller, etc. By the 80s they were doing Road to Nowhere, which was rather too Pop mainstream.
Sadly no mention of Kate Bush.
@@DarylBaines well like I said, can't mention everything in a decade that's so overjammed with classic songs. Plus I had a point to make with The Talking Heads utilizing the visual medium so had to save them for the 80s. But yeah Pyschokiller, all that stuff is great.
Good video, but no Ramones or other punk rockers
Fanny????
Don't recall if they metioned Jethro Tull but they SHOULD HAVE!!!°.
That was in the original 70s episode
No love for DEVO, Talking Heads, The B-52's making their classic debut records in the late 70's?
Watch the 80s video
You missed supertramp 😒
The Jackson 5 should have got a mention. Michael Jackson adorable at age 12
Is the Jackson 5 really rock and roll? I can think of about 20 other Motown acts that should be talked about before the Jackson 5 (some of which I did back in the 60s videos).
Besides they get a brief mention in the 80s video.
Where's The "Nuge?" Car Scratch Fever snd Stranglehold are as strong as any of the others; Dire Straights too.
What is "Car Scratch Fever"?
Dire Straits get talked about in the 80s. I could have sworn "Sultans of Swing" was mentioned in the first video, but I guess it wasn't...
Lots at these bands and from the past video are not worth to be mentioned
Also like to mention that some of the most innovative (rock) music in the 70's came from West Germany, with bands such Can, Neu!, Faust, Ash Ra Tempel, Cluster, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. They generally moved away from the blues roots and incorporated elements of avant-garde or electronica. The scene undoubtedly had a big influence on art rock and new wave, and there's clearly an echo of it f.e. in David Bowie's "Berlin trilogy" (Low, Heroes and Lodger, 1977-79). A band like Can seems to have been a big influence on Radiohead as well. And of course Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk have influenced electronic music up until today.
(I am to too keen on the "Krautrock" label the scene has gotten because of its somewhat derogatory connotations)
To my knowledge, the only band from that era that really made it to the American charts was Kraftwerk (Specifically the Autobahn album) but I wouldn't consider this rock music. I'm sure they did have an influence on Bowie, Brian Eno, Gary Neumann, etc, but I can only get into so much...
@@JTCurtisMusic Have to agree. I'm a huge rock fan, and love the electronika that came out of the Berlin and Dusseldorf scenes in the 1970s, and extending to all of the English bands they so heavily influenced in the 1980s, which I also love. But NONE of them are rock bands - progressive, experimental electronica, YES ! But not rock by any stretch of the imagination. So, good call.
@@JTCurtisMusic well - it was Never 'specified' as who made it BIG ( and/or 'influential' ) in the 'States' .... - some 'American' and/or Canadian performers/bands were really more popular and 'influential' outside their home turf , e.g. 'Yes' , Lou Red - Velvet Underground a.o. ...
Hate to be this guy, but NO BOSTON?!?!
They're somewhere in the middle of the video. I don't feel like looking it up right now.
