Best 70's Metal Band

[Floyd]

well, I don't know all of the bands you mentioned, but I think Black Sabbath and Motorhead are very good.

btw: I'm a CoB-fan, too, but I'm pretty open-minded (so I won't kill anyone for liking of disliking a band, style of music or anything else...)

I have no deep rooted animosity towards COB or their fans, I have listened to all of their releases for review in a zine, I just happened not to care for them.
Combine that dislike with Slayerized's idiotic comments, followed by his little COB tag, well, you can see how he left himself open for my shots.
I will say that they do have technical ability, I just don't particularly care for them.

I love CoB. Now, moving on...

I didn't read through the whole thread, so I'm not sure what others have considered '70s metal bands. Me personally, I count Judas Priest. They released quality track after quality track on their '70s classics. Fuck, MANY of them stand up live today. THEY'RE the classic band in my book.

Yeah, I think 70's Priest is the best Priest.

almost forgotten, the late great Budgie. Rush filtered through Wales and waves of pot smoke...really eccentric.

The first 2 Blue Oyster Cult releases are awesome!

[The Metal Master]

KISS

While there are lots of great acts from the '70s, I feel that these two bands had the biggest and broadest impact on metal as we know it today.

UFO
Thin Lizzy
Budgie
Scorpions (The ULI years!)

I can do without Kiss, but Thin Lizzy for sure, and UFO (with Schenker).

RAINBOW was by far the best band in the 70's
Just listen to their albums with Dio and the down to earth album,true masterpieces!
