I'm a big fan of the 70's myself, altough i never was there, because i'm too young...
i think that the 70's were the best rock years
i really believe that all the best bands i can think off started in the 60 or the 70.. today we have good musicians too, and maybe some stuff are more proffesional now, but when talking only about rock music i think the 70's were the best of the best, because lots of poor band, were covered by stuff like led zeppelin and deep purple, and today the good bands are in a quality of an average 70's band, and too much people think that rock is just to turn on the distortion and to play power chords...
ouh and by the way i dont understand why are everybody turned on by radiohead kind of bands????
i think that their music lacks of any energy...
and i also think that today vocalists could be better (like ian gillan)
i hope i make some sense anyway :)
