![]() One final note: The bands' lineups must consist exclusively of Americans, so legendary acts like Fleetwood Mac, Foreigner and Crosby, Stills & Nash (with or without Canadian Neil Young) are excluded from consideration. ![]() It also focuses specifically on the years 1970 through 1979, so someone like Paul Simon is graded only for his work with Art Garfunkel during that period and not the excellent solo records he released. The list doesn't include solo artists, so you won't find such '70s notables as Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt or Billy Joel. Similarly, R&B music underwent its own evolution and got heavier with bands like Sly & the Family Stone and Funkadelic leading the way by mixing psychedelic rock with the harder-hitting rhythms of funk, as their lyrics dealt with the growing Black consciousness of the day. You can hear this new freedom in the lengthy jams of the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd as well as in the aggressive punk and New Wave sounds of the Ramones and Blondie.
