The 1970s were a defining decade for rock, marked by innovation, excess, and the rise of legendary bands across a spectrum of styles. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Queen pushed the boundaries of hard rock and progressive experimentation, while Black Sabbath laid the groundwork for heavy metal. Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles brought a polished, radio-friendly sound to the masses, and punk pioneers like The Ramones and The Clash stripped rock down to its raw core. From the theatrical glam of David Bowie to the virtuosity of Rush, the ’70s solidified rock’s dominance and diversity on the global stage.
