Name ONE. :p

Ok, here we go. I hate the 70s but I recognize there were some good rock and roll. Name one? Bob Seger - Old time r'n'r;

"Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll! "

Another favorite of mine is "Shambala" by "Three Dog Night" or "Alright now" by Free, "Can't get enough" by Bad Company. There were glam rock like "Get it on" by T Rex. You had Lynyrd Skynyrd with "Sweet home Alabama".

During the 1970s ZZTop published "Tres Hombres" album with "La Grange" song. Not exactly rock and roll but good enough.

And let's have it clear that I still hate the 1970s!

As out of place as it is from my musical tastes, Devo is one of my guilty pleasures. :p

Devo -- Gut Feeling (1978)

The '70s produced some of the greatest things on Earth. Not naming any names but--hint, hint--you could try looking at the little picture to the left of this post. ;)

and for good measure representing the 90s, probably the single best pop song ever recorded.

By the way, this was recorded in one take, when Freddy Mercury could not even walk due to the fact that he was dying.

Speaking of 70s
Probably the best collection of trumpeters in one group.

Actually country music did reach its apotheosis in the '70s cause I haven't really heard anything quite as good since then.
Where are you, Tommy? Back me up on this.
