Hmm what we like now from the seventies, or what we liked in the seventies.
Quite a vast range. For me it was Roxy Music and David Bowie. Then I also liked, listened and watched Yes, Pink Floyd, Hawkwind etc. And by the end of the seventies I was into Punk.

Anything you do with a guitar, ever, has already been done (but better, obviously) by Tony Iommi 40 years ago. Fact.

Dimebag Darrell being the exception that proves the rule.

Congratulations on having the world's smallest knowledge of guitar players. Fact.

This is one of my all time fave tracks of all time, mate. 1972, the origins of the British Punk scene I believe.

No way of narrowing a whole decade down. But out of the ones here the nod goes to the Feelgoods.
