Subject: Favorite 70's Artist
My favorite 70's artist is Billy Joel, because of he is a great lyricist, and a great musician. One of the best piano players I have ever heard. I also like Jim Croce. I could say he is up there on my favorites list with Billy Joel, he had wonderful lyrics, he showed heart, and I loved how he always had a smile whenever he was at one of his performances.
Subject: Re: Favorite 70's Artist
Judging solely by the number of CD's I have from each artist, either Led Zeppelin, Elvis Costello or Bruce Springsteen.
Subject: Re: Favorite 70's Artist
I love both of your choices, superrich23! I like so many that I really can't pick just one favorite. There were so many talented artists in the 70's, not like now. :-/ :'(

Ditto. Too much great music from that decade for me to name 1,2, or even 4or5 favorites.But I'm with you, Billy Joel and Jim Croce would both be way up on the list.

The bands that recorded "Billy, Don't Be A Hero" were Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods and Paper Lace...who had a bigger hit with "The Night Chicago Died". Mr. Jaws was done by Dickie Goodman, I believe ;)

Subject: Re: Favorite 70's Artist
Steve Miller Band - see my thread
Donna Summer - as 1 book I read said, 1 of the few rock-era artists who can actually sing, hooked up w/awesome Disco arrangements. Go Donna!
3 Dog Night - guess they started '60s but I think most '70s
Elton John - I liked his later stuff too but he had alot in the '70s; wish they'd play the original cut of "Candle in the Wind" rather than his own remake - I loved those ethereal, echoing, other-wordly arrangements
Eagles - I admit they have quite a few goodies
Barry Manilow - I loved him too; I don't care what people think
Many others that were good but I pick these for quantity and, umm, "longevity".
Subject: Re: Favorite 70's Artist
I also like the Eagles (I'm glad you do too) :)
I also liked the band who did "Brandy"...I think they were called Looking Glass, did they do any other popular songs besides "Brandy"?

You are correct, Rice, it was "Looking Glass".
They had another hit (?) called 'Jimmy Loves Mary Anne'...
