Who will win in the 70’s rock ring, maybe Queen with such classics as Killer Queen, You’re My Best Friend, Bohemian Rhapsody, Tie Your Mother Down, Somebody To Love, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Fat Bottomed Girls, Bicycle Race, Don’t Stop Me Now, Another One Bites The Dust, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Under Pressure or maybe AC/DC with such classics as High Voltage, TNT, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Let There Be Rock, Highway To Hell, Hell’s Bells, Back In Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, and For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) or maybe even Black Sabbath with their classics in the name of Iron Man, Paranoid, War Pigs, and Children Of The Grave.
For me, I have to say Queen because I can’t think of one band more versatile and influenced by The Beatles except for The Fab Four themselves and Sheer Heart Attack, A Night At The Opera, A Day At The Races, News Of The World, Jazz, Live Killers, and The Game are must haves for anybody (both the person who sang Hot And Cold and One were influenced by said band).

Offline I don’t think they’re comparable whatsoever. They Are too stylistically different 2 compare. That said I will vote AC DC because I hate Queen. They ARe 1 of my least favorite bands ever.

Offline Although they are indeed very different regarding the musical style, thus impossible to compare, it’s really no contest for me.
Queen, easily. And I’m not just saying that because I don’t like AC/DC..or actually, I am.

I can’t stand Queen either, except for the Flash Gordon soundtrack, and the songs Another One Bites the Dust, and Under Pressure with David Bowie. Those are all good, actually.

Offline Never been interested in AC/DC, sounds too much like noise to me. Queen therefore but far too much of theirs is overplayed and too much of the rest is distinctly average.

Offline Also, I personally consider both AC/DC and Queen 70’s rock/classic rock/hard rock, although I also consider Queen progressive hard rock (first five albums and Flash Gordon) and pop rock (Hot Space onwards). By the way, Don’t Stop Belevin’ is far more overplayed than We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions (which even I will admit is overplayed).

Good thinking, although I don’t know if I can redo the title or not.

It’s not a competition. I like both bands in different ways. And there weren’t only 2 70s rock bands out there, y’know… what about Zeppelin to name another?
And wow I can’t believe that there is so much “I don’t like Queen” so far. Hey, people like what they like, and that’s okay. But even though I like both bands if I HAVE to choose I’ll choose Queen. Freddie’s voice (his range!) alone.

Offline I can change the title and we can make a new poll. Before I do that, is there anyone else we want to include? Or, should I leave out names all together and let people say who they think the King of 70’s rock was?

Offline A lot of great 70’s rock bands have been referenced, but no mention of Steely Dan? They were much, much more than an “Other”.
Regardless, I would say that Elton John was the king in the 70’s hands down, solely based on his world wide popularity. There are acts that may have been more popular in one or two countries, but overall, Elton was it.

Offline Remember, I only put down 10 bands and an other section so I wasn’t listing 50 different bands. Also, the reason I didn’t include Wings is because I landslidingly prefer The Beatles over anything they did solo, therefore I didn’t listen to a lot of their solo material.
