"Greatest Rock&Roll Album of All Time" Survivor - 1970's (Discussion Thread)

[Ignatius]

How could Bowie, The Clash and The Sex pistols get voted off so early is beyond me. Especially the Clash and Bowie. "Nevermind the Bollocks" is not brilliant ( I think I can play guitar better now than Steve Jones then) but it's refered today as one of most notorious, relevant punk album ever made.

As Eazy suggested, I recommend everybody that's voted off the Clash to grab a copy of "London Calling". This is the most diverse, ecclectic album in the hystory of music. There's folk, rock, punk, reggae, pop...pretty much all the genres are there. I think people are voting off the Clash cause this board is not keen on punk music apperantly. Well, too fucking bad.? You guys are missing out one of the most brilliant albums ever made...

And why did you guys vote off Bowie so early? Honestly, how many of you heard that album?


Some of you need to open you mind a little bit. If "Paranoid" or "Van Halen" wins this...oh nevermind

Hey, don't knock Van Halen.  Paranoid is indeed overrated, especially next to Sabbath's other albums. Van Halen is a great album, though. Lots of metalheads call it metal, but they're just afraid to admit that it's a rock album that annihilates 95% of metal. It's one of my favorites, even now.

There's just too much good 70's music. We need 20+ bands, with 4 or 5 voted off each time. Maybe I should resurrect the ultimate metal tournament.

AC/DC had more albums that "Highway to Hell" in the 70's. Don't call me ignorant, but i think that  "Let There Be Rock" and "Powerage" were their best albums from the 70's. because the song were much rougher than on "HTH". I mean, i like this album too, but the sound is a little bit to clean. But thats just me.
