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
        
        I’d like to change my answer. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 17:21
CCR -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 14:37
