As rock critic for both CREEM and Rolling Stone, Dave Marsh has enough influence in the 70's to have his day here at 1001Songs. Marsh championed his fair share of rock and soul acts but , 40 years later, this selection is just as notable for the bands that don't make the list. Anyone who bought the first Marsh-edited Rolling Stone Record Guide will recall all the two star ( or mediocre) grades for Genesis, Queen, 10cc, The Grateful Dead and Black Sabbath.
