Dinosaurs are ruling the planet once again! The thundering giants from the 1970s—Rush, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Kiss and others—are alive and well a decade later. The tireless superstars have transcended temporary musical fads by establishing deep-rooted musical styles that have become imbedded in the rock of the ’80s. They’ve also inspired slumbering superstars of the ’70s—like Jethro Tull, George Harrison, Yes. and Aerosmith—to re-emerge and show the new generation of upstarts how it’s done. But to our surprise and delight, they’ve done more than merely survive—they’ve come back stronger than ever earning their rightful place at the top of the charts with gold and platinum albums as coveted trophies. These dinosaurs are far from extinct.
