Take the quiz - how many 70's bands do you recognize [View all]

http://www.zimbio.com/trivia/XcLU8eGCTjY/How+Many+70s+Bands+Can+Name

I got an 89%. I can't believe I missed fricking Steve Miller Band. I mean I only have seen them in concert like 6 times but geez that was starting in the 80s. No clue what the guy looked like in the 70s.

Missed Lynyrd Skynyrd because let's face it - can anyone actually name the original members of that band? And I think I got Santana wrong too. But other than that it was pretty easy. I mean if there were 5 people on the screen some you could eliminate like CSN or ELP. D'uh
