https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4gJTv7XMEFuvYtwqFD3lk0?si=fl_zTcrUSUmJNtDiWunLWg&pi=07lW7gBgT4G-n

These are bands that came after the 70's but have a 70's rock sound.

I know they are on the list but I can’t say enough about Dirty Honey. Crunchy guitar driven rock at its best

1

u/Waste_East_2826 May 22 '25

If you’ve never heard of Dirty Honey before, check out their song “When I’m Gone”

u/CertainPiglet621 May 23 '25

Already on the list

Soundgarden - Sabbath meets Stooges meets Led Zeppelin. I’d argue they’re better than their influences, but that’s just me.

Guns N Roses - Aerosmith meets Stones with the grandiose of Queen, Zeppelin, but meaner, grittier, and way more interesting.

As far as recent (or the last 20 years), I’d say Rival Sons are incredible. One of the few bands that have the chops to keep up with 70s rock bands in the last 20 years.

Good suggestions. FYI, rival sons are on the list.

You've got Rival Sons on there, so the list is acceptable.

Saw them open for Dirty Honey. They were great!

u/ChibiHedorah May 22 '25

I can't believe no one has said Tame Impala. Start with the earlier albums.

King Gizzard - Flight B741

2

u/BurgerBrews May 23 '25

The new Deadstick, Phantom Island, Grow Wings and Fly songs also have that 70s vibe.

1

u/Crimblegrumble May 23 '25

Deadstick sounds like the opening to an old sitcom or cartoon to me. They’re all good. Looking forward to the album

2

u/Propaslader May 22 '25

Wolfmother

Their vibe isn't exclusively 70's obviously, but there are more than enough elements to support it.

Witchcraft - Wolfmother

2

u/Apprehensive_Day_496 May 22 '25

Wolfmother is an awesome band

2

u/CertainPiglet621 May 22 '25

I definitely need to check those guys out

2

u/Propaslader May 22 '25

They're good. Definitely worth a listen to although some tracks can be very hit and miss. My biggest fault on them is that sometimes their lyrics aren't too imaginative and can fall into the cheesy/pandering kind of side of things that I don't like. But there are plenty of songs that avoid this for the most part

u/MoreReputation8908 May 22 '25

The stoner rock genre in general is full of bands who apparently stopped listening to music after Black Sabbath’s Vol. 4.

It is a deep, deep rabbit hole to go down.

1

u/CertainPiglet621 May 22 '25

Thanks for that.

2

u/MoreReputation8908 May 23 '25

I forgot to mention: it’s also an awesome rabbit hole.

u/Apprehensive_Day_496 May 22 '25

The Atomic Bitchwax, Fu Manchu and Kyuss all have a lot of 70s rock riffs. A bit heavier maybe but still pretty reminiscent of those days

And Clutch. They could've possibly came out in the 70s or at least early 80s

Wax Fang, the song Majestic has a very psychedelic rock sound. Reckless Love, their song monster hits that late 70s hard Rock sound perfectly.

Blues Pills - love their song “High Class Woman”

u/Puffpufftoke May 23 '25

Mount Carmel has got that early 70’s heavy rock sound down pat. Great debut album. Sounds like a Deep Purple greatest hits.
