music poll: if the Beatles were the band of the 60s, what band was the "Beatles" of the 70s? not necessarily British just the defining one -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 8, 14:36 31
- If he hadn't died, Jimi Hendrix was just getting started... -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 8, 16:57
- it's spelled Zeppelin and it's as close to the correct answer you'll get but it's a trick question because there is no equivalent to The Beatles. -- nm - mud Jun 8, 15:44
- Assuming The Beatles were tops in radio play and sales in the 60's, then it's either the Bee Gees or Eagles. -- nm - Last Of My Kind Jun 8, 15:29
- Springsteen, but only the last half of the decade. -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 8, 15:24
- Zep I think. Kiss is in the convo. -- nm - Remlik Jun 8, 15:03 3
  - No Rush!?! -- nm* - LFG Jun 8, 15:04 2
    - They transcend any 1 decade -- nm - Remlik Jun 8, 15:21 1
      - RIGHT??! -- nm - whisper Jun 8, 16:48
- If a group, not a band, counts: perhaps the Jackson 5 -- nm - ty97 Jun 8, 14:57
- Fleetwood Mac -- nm - David Jun 8, 14:50 2
  - Spawn had a good idea, but I'll get it right: Fleetwood Mac is to The Beatles what Led Zepplin is to the 'Stones. - ReluctantCynic Jun 8, 15:30
  - I would consider this in my top 5 of that era, yes -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 15:11
- Led Zepplin. c’mon people. -- nm - mafic Jun 8, 14:49 7
  - Yep. -- nm - kelly Jun 8, 15:35
  - i'd put The Eagles higher than Zep, popularity wise -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 8, 15:11
  - No contest - LFG Jun 8, 14:52 4
    - I would also have accepted Pink Floyd. Grudgingly. -- nm - mafic Jun 8, 14:53 3
      - I almost went there (as I prefer them), but I would say, Beatles: Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones: Pink Floyd. -- nm - LFG Jun 8, 14:55 2
        
        You're saying The Beatles were The Beatles of the 70's? Interesting!!! -- nm - Last Of My Kind Jun 8, 15:31
        
        Agreed! -- nm - mafic Jun 8, 14:56
- Led Zepplin -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 14:49
- at least creatively, i think it's arguably Steely Dan. strong out of the gate in 72 (Do It Again), top 3 album of the decade in 77 with Aja -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 8, 14:41
- I almost wanna say ABBA? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 14:38 7
  - If you change your mind, I'll be first in line. -- nm - psilotum Jun 8, 14:48 6
    - Like, I think of 70’s, I think disco as a self-contained style of that era. They seem most fitting. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 14:59 5
      - Disco was an anomaly! -- nm - LFG Jun 8, 15:00 4
        
        I get it but the others seem more timeless? For lack of better terms -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 15:02 3
        
        I grew up in the 70s and disco was such a non-factor in my life that I just can't see it as much of an impact. -- nm - HoJo Jun 8, 15:05 2
        
        you didn't deserve disco - hollywood big shot Jun 8, 16:05 1

Arby’s. We have the…. fries?! -- (link) - VMan Jun 8, 13:43 7
- I miss their having the potato cakes. -- nm - David Jun 8, 14:28 1
  - right? those were so good. — nm - i.b.! Jun 8, 14:34
- I do not think I have EVER had their non-curly fries (and remember, I once lived with an Arby's manager). -- nm - LFG Jun 8, 13:55 3
  - Curly fries, crinkle fries, and straight fries. So many options! 3. 3 options. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 8, 13:58 2
    - Curly fries are great, so I need no other. -- nm - LFG Jun 8, 14:11 1
      - "The curly quality isn’t just fun, though. It increases the surface area of the fries, " Does it though? -- nm - Max Jun 8, 16:29
- I'll allow this. Even when picking up take-out elsewhere, I'll stop at Arby's to get fries. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 8, 13:47
You know that whole “you don’t wear the band’s t-shirt to the concert” thing? I don’t think Rolling Stones fans got that memo. It was wall to wall - kelly Jun 8, 13:33 5
- IMO such bands with longevity are the exception to the rule. -- nm - LFG Jun 8, 14:54
- I would like to add a corollary: You don't wear "I [heart] NY" shirts in NYC, especially not in midtown Manhattan. -- nm - ty97 Jun 8, 13:35 3
  - What if it uses a real heart? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 13:36 2
    - It does! And NO! -- nm - ty97 Jun 8, 13:39 1
      - That's a bloody mess. -- nm - psilotum Jun 8, 14:49

  - and standing with Hamas -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 8, 13:25 2
    - You spend entirely too much time on Twitter. Like it’s a real problem. -- nm* - Qale Jun 8, 13:51 1
      - I've got my filters set up so all TW and X links get blocked. Very handy, although sometimes FOMO strikes. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 14:07

  - But just. -- nm - LFG Jun 8, 13:11 1

- Take it as a sign. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 8, 10:55 2
