Redirected from 1970s Music Groups The 1970s are generally remembered as a time of transition for pop and rock music. This was the decade in which music went from 1960s type of pop at the start to Disco music[?] towards the end, which in turn, was the rhythm that led the music world into the 1980s.

This is pretty simplistic.

During the 70's, bands and singers also benefited from the production of 8 tracks[?], which effectively became a new source of revenue for many singers and groups worldwide during the era.

Among groups that started during the 1970's and/or became famous during that era are:

• ABBA
• Aerosmith
• America[?]
• Bay City Rollers
• Black Sabbath
• Can[?]
• Chicago[?]
• Crass
• Fleetwood Mac
• Journey
• Lipps, Inc[?]
• Haciendo Punto En Otro Son[?]
• KC And The Sunshine Band[?]
• Kiss
• Kraftwerk
• Led Zeppelin
• Lynyrd Skynyrd
• Queen
• Rhythm Heritage[?]
• Rush
• Styx
• The Commodores[?]
• The Eagles
• The Miracles[?]
• The Ramones
• The Village People
• Wings (Headed by former Beatle Paul McCartney)

It should be pointed out that, contrary to popular belief, The Bee Gees are not a 1970s band. They are a 1960s band that had multiple hits in Australia, England and the United States during the 60's before coming back and scoring a few hits with the soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever.
