Five Great Rock 'N Roll Gods From The 1970s You Could And Should See In Concert!

The one thing that I have noticed is that in the world of music, like everything, times change, and the wheels of progress go in new, different and at times worse, but also at times better then their predecessors music... And well the truth is, is that say between the music of the 80s and the music of today is completely, and drastically different!

And well... If you are a fan of  music from different days, well with time marching on, there are a ton of Rock icons out there that are still working regularly, that are not only still totally epic, but if you are a fan music from all sorts of decades, well these bands are ones that you should see in concert at the first chance!

At number 5: Queen.

Queen live in 1974!

Now this band got it's started in the late 60s, and since then have been working fairly steadily, having created such truly awesome songs as: Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions (and that is just to name a few!)

And with the fact they are still playing, this band is more then well worth checking out!

For more information on, 'Queen' please check out this awesome song!

At number 4: Alice Cooper.

Alice Cooper playing live at the Pittsburgh Arena in 1971!

Now admittedly this guy is a little older then most, but the truth is, is that the Godfather of Rock, is still working hard, and playing great, and apparently still touring, so if you get a chance to check this scary monster of metal out... Well... If you like that type of music... Then hell yeah, check them out! And if you don't... Then why are you still reading this blog?

For more information on, 'Alice Cooper', then check out this classic song he did in the early 90s!

At number 3: Def Leppard.

Def Leppard live in the 1980s!

Alright, well... I hate to admit that I don't know a hell of a lot of their music (a situation that I do intend to remedy,) but what I do know, and from what I have listened to... These guys rock! They have always rocked! They will always rock! And I hope to see them live some day!

For more information on these legends, check out this classic song!

And the next one on the list, At number 2: KISS.

KISS rockin out, live in 1974!

Now KISS... Boy what can I say about these guys? I mean they are true rock legends, that have been playing for decades! From what I understand of it, these power players are still playing strong, and if you have the chance to catch them in concert... Do so, I doubt you will regret it!

For more information on this power band, please enjoy this kick ass song!

And finally, last but not least, at number 1: Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd live in 1976!

On this one guys, I have to be honest and say that I was not anticipating this... I mean forget about it... These guys are one of those bands that in my opinion is synonymous with Rock 'N Roll in the 70s... Their song, 'Free Bird' is absolutely amazing... And since they are still playing... Well this is one any one who likes this type of music should go see! I mean, they truly rock!

For more information on this truly epic band, please enjoy: Free Bird!

Now there are a ton of other greats from that era, these though are some truly epic bands from back then, that well I was thinking that if you get a chance to see, you should!
