    Are you kidding?! How can I even narrow it down?!

    Um...how about 90% of every US and international prog rock and psycedelic bands through that whole decade. Amazing.

    Likely the best era for music.

    Really one of the best things to happen to music, let alone the 70s tune scene. One of my top three favourite albums ever ever ever. It's also how I've celebrated the first day of fall since hearing this, as no other album has invoked feelings of autumn such as this has. Amazing.

    Combination - 1976 Aerosmith.

    The street is cold, the dawn is gray
    My heart says no but my head says stay
    My work is finished, or so I've been told
    You can't part the three of us, once we got a hold

    I forgot my name
    I took a shot on the chin
    I'm rearranging my game
    Tell by the shape I'm in

    In the line of fire, you know what to say
    They gave us no choices, just one shade of gray
    My legs keep moving, don't seem to stray
    But I know each step we take, they're one step away

    I found the secret, the key to the vault
    We walked in darkness, kept hittin' the walls
    I took the time, to feel for the door
    I found the secret, the key to it all

    I got the Nouveauree
    And dragged it home to bed
    I traded you for me
    I took it all and said

    I find my own fun, sometimes for free
    I got to pay it to come looking for me
    Walking on Gucci, wearin' Yves Saint Laurent
    Barely stay on, 'cause I'm so God damn gaunt

    I found the secret, the key to the vault
    We walked in darkness, kept hittin' the walls
    I took the time, to feel for the door
    I found the secret, the key to it all

    The 70's was the best decade .. most of my music is from that decade. Never ever gets old.

    Duuuuuuuuuuuuude! Yes. Do that. They're so absolutely incredible. Like Floyd but somehow more talented and intricate.

    All of My Love is good, but not in the Zep top 10. Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand, Nobody's Fault But Mine, The Song Remains the Same, The Ocean, Trampled Underfoot, Thank You, Moby Dick, Dazed and Confused, Since I've Been Loving You - are all better IMHO.
