seventies rock

Led Zeppelin era

Seventies rock refers to rock music from the 1970s, a decade that saw the genre fragment into diverse subgenres: progressive rock, arena rock, punk, disco-influenced rock, and heavy metal all emerged or flourished.

The term often evokes the era's distinctive production style—warm analog recordings, prominent electric guitar, and ambitious arrangements: My dad's seventies rock collection is all Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
