Born in’63 1975 was when I realized music was my drug. So the music of the ‘70s has so many memories of growing up. Thanks again for creating this video.

Hey, respect for including ELO. They are still HUGE, and invariably sell out every date on every tour they play - just about to start another and the tickets are selling for top shelf prices. Impressive back catalogue from one of the least well known biggest selling bands in the world (after Rush... ;-) )

[@robinchesterfield42]

ELO...when I was a little kid, we used to have a console stereo with a record player, a tape deck, and, wait for it...an EIGHT TRACK. My mom had 8-track cassettes of Bachman Turner Overdrive and Electric Light Orchestra, for just a couple. I ask you, HOW iconically '70s IS that? Wow. XD It's too bad the 8-track player was the first part of the stereo to break. Those things were weirdly ahead of their time in a way.

Someone else that I feel has been excluded is Zappa. I understand he’s kind of hard to place under any genre really, but I feel rock is probably the closest without getting into sub genres (he’s really Jazz Fusion). He was and is hugely influential, I may have missed him though, but with the Mothers in the 60s and his solo career in the 70s with albums like Joe’s Garage and Sheik Yeribouti was very important.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Frank is the one guy who sadly kept getting removed from these videos. I had a segment about The Mothers in the 60s that had to be removed for time reasons. He has a brief moment in the 80s when talking about the PMRC. Nick and I have been discussing a playlist video for him, so that will come out eventually.

I am most disturbed by Chicago missing from here. They may have been bigger in the 80s, but early Chicago is where it is at. Early Chicago is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Even Jimi Hendrix said that Terry Kath was a better guitarist than him. Not to mention they had at least 3 people in the band that could sing and the whole band was amazing. 25 or 6 to 4 has to be one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded. Just not sure how you could talk about the 70s and miss them.

Elvis - comeback of sorts? No. It was an historic comeback. He was the most successful touring act (not just Vegas) of the decade. He was consistently on the charts from 69-72. Burning Love is an amazing tune. His stage performances from the early portion of the decade are partially the reason why he is considered the greatest stage performer ever. Yes, Elvis declined severely post 1973, but his Aloha from Hawaii special was the first satellite concert ever and the most watched TV special OF ALL-TIME. That's not historic enough to get mentioned? He's the most consistent record seller of the decade. Check the numbers.

Saw the Stones at 13 in 72. I have a friend that saw Hendrix at Isle of Wight in 1970. Just my narrow opinion, for what it's worth, but the eighties was the beginning of the end. There's only one really significant band that came out in the Eighties, Talking Heads. If you go to (reaction videos) of the seventies, you'll be amazed at how the people of today react. Comments like, " what happened to music", " is this for real", " these musicians are so amazing", and the most popular reaction to 60's and 70's music is, " I was born in the wrong era ".

@@JTCurtisMusic there's only one artist I'd like to mention, even though he's not rock, More like a blend of pop, funk and R&B. Prince. Even though I was never a fan, I came to appreciate some of his tuned. The main reason I took him seriously was because he was one of the rare people that understood the total genius of Jimi Hendrix. Really he was a disciple. Clapton was once asked, what's it like to be the greatest Rock guitarist. He said, " I don't know, ask Prince." Some years later Prince, when asked who he thought was the best said, " Jimi is still the Man ". So it's hard to get away from what was produced in the 60s and 70s, though some pretend the past didn't exist. My final analogy on contempory music, from the 50's till now is that a massive tidal wave was building up from the 50's, and it peaked with Jimi. A massive Tube formed through out the 70's that was the most exquisite ride. By the time we got to the 80s the wave was just a lot of foam. And that foam is still rolling along. My favourite artist today is Chris Stapleton.🙏✌️👍

7:20 Jeff Lynne could be Eric Bloom's older brother.

[@MS82563]

Still no mention of Bob Seger!

[@pdogakron1623]

No Guess Who-BTO? The most popular band of 1970

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Again, mentioned in the 1960s

[@DeepForestRex]

Will you be talking about Pink Floyd’s film, The Wall, in the 1980s video?

[@soumyenghosh324]

No mention of Ian Gillian and his Gethsemane from JCS? JCS itself was game-chabger

[@PumpestationVest]

The funny thing about Rush is, I knew nothing about them until a couple of years ago. And I considered myself to be quite familiar with prog rock: Pink Floyd, Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, King Crimson (were they mentioned?), Yes etc., but not Rush. I think I knew there was a band with that name, but I have never heard it. Perhaps they are mostly big in North America, but not so much in Europe?

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Yes King Crimson was mentioned in the original video.

[@SteeleZack]

Supertramp is ignored for some reason

[@lilyreilly2356]

The sweet ?

[@dannymuniz4395]

She is SO NOT playing bass on come sail away. Your videos are great! No need to fake it.....

[@JTCurtisMusic]

I mean neither of our guitars are plugged in, we clearly overdubbed them (as we've done in I dunno how many videos by now).

[@DarylBaines]

OK, so you caught up with Genesis ... but Talking Heads!!!???!!! ... and for pioneering women in Rock - Suzi Quatro?

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Talking Heads in the 80s. Suzi Quatro is quite badass, but sadly no one requested her.

[@DarylBaines]

@@JTCurtisMusic Yeah, I watched the 80s video too and got the Talking Heads stuff. But wasn't their best stuff from CBGBs? Psycokiller, etc. By the 80s they were doing Road to Nowhere, which was rather too Pop mainstream. Sadly no mention of Kate Bush.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

@@DarylBaines well like I said, can't mention everything in a decade that's so overjammed with classic songs. Plus I had a point to make with The Talking Heads utilizing the visual medium so had to save them for the 80s. But yeah Pyschokiller, all that stuff is great.

[@donjohnson7550]

Lots at these bands and from the past video are not worth to be mentioned

[@faith22112]

I don’t care about history! Rock Rock rock and roll highs cool 😎

[@ophirwesley4424]

What about dire straits???

[@JTCurtisMusic]

We gave them their due in the 80s video.

[@reaganwalker1514]

How quickly are these videos made because he mentioned stuff that just happened the other day

[@JTCurtisMusic]

The video was already basically done by the time Aretha passed. I wrote up and recorded a quick tribute myself at the last minute to fit Aretha's tribute into the video. This one in particular didn't take too long, except for juggling everyone's busy schedules together.

[@elvis-jt7qq]

Should have talked about the clash

[@JTCurtisMusic]

The Clash are in the original video.

[@fabianoduartepereiradossantos]

You forgot to mention Grandfunk Railroad!

[@davidyohalem629]

Loud, but mediocre. At best. But Homer Simpson's favorite.

[@lisamitchell1355]

What about Boston, Queensryche

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Boston was in the first 70s video Also Queensryche was formed in 1980.

[@constantinestavrakov4034]

You missed supertramp 😒

Don't recall if they metioned Jethro Tull but they SHOULD HAVE!!!°.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

That was in the original 70s episode

[@leahsymanski]

The Jackson 5 should have got a mention. Michael Jackson adorable at age 12

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Is the Jackson 5 really rock and roll? I can think of about 20 other Motown acts that should be talked about before the Jackson 5 (some of which I did back in the 60s videos). Besides they get a brief mention in the 80s video.

[@stapler942]

No love for DEVO, Talking Heads, The B-52's making their classic debut records in the late 70's?

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Watch the 80s video

[@andrewlevi5340]

I feel like Aerosmith deserves a little more pub here in the 70s. I mean Toys in the Attic and Rocks are 2 back to back kick ass records. Maybe the two greatest American rock records in a row?? Seems arguable...

[@theodoreritola7641]

The guy that made this video left out a huge amount of 70s GIANTS Like Black Betty By Ram Jam ,, ToTos Hold the line 1978

[@gerardmahalak3334]

Left out BTO.

[@starjunkie5328]

Where's The "Nuge?" Car Scratch Fever snd Stranglehold are as strong as any of the others; Dire Straights too.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

What is "Car Scratch Fever"? Dire Straits get talked about in the 80s. I could have sworn "Sultans of Swing" was mentioned in the first video, but I guess it wasn't...

[@PumpestationVest]

Also like to mention that some of the most innovative (rock) music in the 70's came from West Germany, with bands such Can, Neu!, Faust, Ash Ra Tempel, Cluster, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. They generally moved away from the blues roots and incorporated elements of avant-garde or electronica. The scene undoubtedly had a big influence on art rock and new wave, and there's clearly an echo of it f.e. in David Bowie's "Berlin trilogy" (Low, Heroes and Lodger, 1977-79). A band like Can seems to have been a big influence on Radiohead as well. And of course Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk have influenced electronic music up until today. (I am to too keen on the "Krautrock" label the scene has gotten because of its somewhat derogatory connotations)

[@JTCurtisMusic]

To my knowledge, the only band from that era that really made it to the American charts was Kraftwerk (Specifically the Autobahn album) but I wouldn't consider this rock music. I'm sure they did have an influence on Bowie, Brian Eno, Gary Neumann, etc, but I can only get into so much...

[@2112jonr]

@@JTCurtisMusic Have to agree. I'm a huge rock fan, and love the electronika that came out of the Berlin and Dusseldorf scenes in the 1970s, and extending to all of the English bands they so heavily influenced in the 1980s, which I also love. But NONE of them are rock bands - progressive, experimental electronica, YES ! But not rock by any stretch of the imagination. So, good call.

[@hanszlh6522]

@@JTCurtisMusic well - it was Never 'specified' as who made it BIG ( and/or 'influential' ) in the 'States' .... - some 'American' and/or Canadian performers/bands were really more popular and 'influential' outside their home turf , e.g. 'Yes' , Lou Red - Velvet Underground a.o. ...

[@timtubemusic]

How can you talk about the 70's and not mention Zeppelin? They changed rock and are the best rock band ever!!

You didn't watch the original 70s video did you? There's a reason this is called "70s Extras".
