Sorry
As you should be.....
Forgetting Austin's most talented son...
(I would have said most famous, but with all teeniebop girls that would have to be Mathew McConnehey sp? now.)

Football is 100% physical, 100% mental.
Gotta say the mid sixties to mid seventies because of how later music was influenced by the major artists-
Hendrix- influenced numerous artists incl. several of my faves Robin Trower and the Bevis Frond
Stones- influenced several of my faves including Brian Jonestown Massacre
Velvet Underground- influenced numerous artists incl. several of my faves incl Dandy Warhols, Dream Syndicate
Led Zepplin- influenced numerous artists incl. one of my faves Great White
Neil Young-influenced numerous artists incl. one of my faves Mark Lanegan
Then there's Parliament- Love their stuff but not crazy about much of what they influenced.

Eat a Peach is a great Album, but I prefer live shows from bands from that era... Live at the Fillmore E, btw, is in my view vastly superior to Eat a Peach. (Insert Joke about PrincessPeach Here)

Two words my friend - LYNYRD SKYNYRD
They have become the cliche for a reason. No one did it better IMHO. "Free Bird" is a musical metaphor for sex if there ever was one.

Calling all friends & people I met on the way down
I can't pick one specific decade. I believe all decades listed have offered a lot in terms of enjoyment, talent and musical progression. Although, the one constant through all the decades is, I can't stand "c"rap!

Molly Hatchet came out AFTER Skynyrd had been around for awhile and was clearly derivative. This is like saying "diamond" and having someone reply "cubic zirconia".

For musical variety, you cannot beat:
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Chicago Transit Authority
Kansas
Boston
Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Yes
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Allman Brothers Band
Steve Miller Band
Three Dog Night
Black Sabbath
The Eagles
Styx
Santana
Gladys Knight and the Pips
Bill Conti
Elton John
Genesis
War
Rush
The Guess Who
Van Halen (first two releases)
Stevie Wonder
Frampton Comes Alive (the only thing he ever did, right?)
Heart (first two)
Bad Company
REO Speedwagon
Cream
CSN
Neil Young
Early Springsteen before "The River"
Early Journey before "Escape"
Gotta go with the 70s.
Forget about disco and Tony Orlando; every decade has its fads and forgettable bands. Should we blame the 90s for Mariah Carey? Focus on the good stuff. Songs like Carry on Wayward Son and Sweet Home Alabama are what the 70s are all about.

Good List GoBucks89 - Just one Small Problem
Maybe its because of overseas origins with different release dates - but several of the bands in your 70's unbeatable variety list, by my recollection, had great stuff, in the 60's.
Pink Floyd, Allman Brothers had their first album in the 60's, Steve Miller alone had 4 great albums in the 60's, Stevie Wonder's stretches back to 62, Gladys Knight & the Pips - her offerings stretch back into the late 60's, (War - well OK at least with Eric Burdon - preceded 1970), Neil Young's first self-titled album was released in '69 (yeah, I know it's not one of his fabled offerings - but "Everyone Knows This is Nowhere" released in the same year is absolutely seminal). CSN's first - and far, far away their best ever album, was released in '69. BTO did have two album releases before American Woman in 1970, though that was, I agree the disc that broke them into the big time. Heck, I could even throw in Elton John's "Empty Sky if I wanted to get really picky on your list. None of the above tells you my biggest correction to your list (the contents of which are a great credit to your good taste I might add) ..
You absolutely, positively, cannot have Cream listed as a '70's band.
They were not in existence when the 70's began.
(Point of fact, they broke up in late '68, everything released thereafter was a compilation, or a live album from old tapes.)
I'm sticking with 64 through 73 as the best 10-year period of music - i n my life at least.

Did my work for me Sand, thanks, 89 - you should change your vote to the 60s
Hey, Sandgk, as "all star" bands go, can one top Blind Faith? Even as much as I liked Temple of the Dog, you can't beat a line up with Stevie Winwood, Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker.
Although, Derek and the Dominos is a pretty solid lineup with Clapton and Allman alone....
Oh, and what can you tell me about Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac? Something tells me you may know a bit about them, Green Manalishi.

Greatest Decade For Music?
1935-45. In other words, "The Swing Era". It was the one period in American History when jazz and popular music went hand-in-hand.
All of you may not agree, though--I'm a professional musician and a history buff.
