I did the list, but I'd definitely include Be Bop Deluxe. Their 70s output was some of the best rock and it holds up today. Elliot Murphy could bring it back then and I was a sucker for bands like Head East, Frumpy and Silverhead. Hey, and what about the mighty Capt. Beefheart? Big Eyed Beans and Longneck Bottles indeed!

Tom Petty

Free
T. Rex

1. rolling stones
2. television

little feat, the who, faces, joe walsh, grin, america, t rex, humble pie , steppenwolf, traffic, led zep, black sabbath, hawkwind, suicide, blondie, the impressions, the stylistics, the runaways, the stooges, van der graaf generator, donna summer, scic, ABBA, the sensational alex harvey band, mott the hoople, yellow magic orchestra, NEU!, the cure, hatfield & the north, caravan, soft machine, heart, sex pistols, nick gilder/sweeney tood,the sweet, steely dan, simon & garfunkel, the miracles, MC5, patti smith group and a lot more
