Greatest Rock Bands of the 70's

The 70s is by far my favorite decade of rock music. Some of the finest progressive, blues rock, and hard rock bands emerged during this time. 

I am using the term rock pretty loosely meaning I may include some borderline rock artists and as well as funk, but I won't be putting any classical, pure jazz, soul, or blues without rock influence on here. That would just make this list a lot harder to rank.

Here we have a Top 20: check it out and choose your favorite songs!
