11 of 12 #11
I got them all correct.
couple off
You left out one of my favorite bands of the 70's, The Raspberries. To me, they were the Beatles of the 70's. Great harmonies, jangly guitars, awesome songs like, "Go All The Way", "Let's Pretend", "I Wanna Be With You" etc. Eric Carmen was great!
beatles of the '70s? joking, right?
Got 11 out of 12. Got #11 wrong. Never heard the song?

10/12; I did well despite having to guess on most. I grew up in the 70's but did not know a lot of these songs but recognized the band names.
I'm the other way around. I knew MOST of the songs but back then I rarely paid attention to the band's name.
12 out of 12. This is my childhood in music, right here!
we are in the same club fer sure
11 of 12. Missed come and get it.
If you want it here it is come and get it, You'd better hurry cause it's going fast...
8/12 - disappointed with that result. Saw Alive N Kickin perfom a number of times in New York in the 1970's and 1980's
Yep! 12 of 12 correct! Not surprised though. I grew up with this music!
I wish they had mentioned Precious and few by Climax as well as Traces by Dennis Yost and the Classics 4 also they forgot what a year for Karen And Richard Carpenter
There was so much good rock and roll music back then, I doubt they could have included them all or this would have been a very long quiz! Crosby Stills & Nash, Jackson 5, Eric Burdon, R Dean Taylor and so many more.
Wasn't Precious and Few by Climax a bit later? 72 or 73?

Precious and Few was indeed 1972.
badfinger and pacific gas and electric were good though
i got 10. iplayed in a cover band since the mid 60s but we never played any of those lame songs.we didnt do sugar sugar by the archies either,
Ya can’t win ‘em all... but ALMOST ALL
