Led Zepplin is the answer.

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song
Led Zeppelin - Misty Mountain Hop

Those my favorites.

Rollin Stones?!?!?! not that hard though

Aerosmith, Ramones
Maybe Santana or some old eric clapton stuff

I'm not sure metal existed in the 70s

Anyways my fav tune from the 70s is
The Knack - My Sharona

TUNE!!!!!!!!

Metal was late 70s/early 80s I believe. No offense, but I don't think the stuff you listed, except for maybe Aerosmith, is the kind of rock/hard rock he's looking for.

Check out some stuff by Van Halen on top of the Zeppelin I recommended early, Mr. Mystery.

Deep Purple - Highway Star
Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
Deep Purple - Burn ...actually check out their greatest hits, a lot of their stuff is pretty hard (the whole Machine Head album is pretty good)

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Led Zeppelin - Rock 'N Roll
Rush - 2112
Rush - Tom Sawyer
Rush - Finding My Way (check out their Chronicles double CD, it has their greatest hits, it's got some good stuff)

AC\DC started in the 70's, listen to some of their music.

Rick Derringer - Rock and Roll, Hoochie Coo
Cream - Sunshine of your love
Cream - Whiteroom
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird
KISS - Rock and Roll all night
Ted Nugent - Free for all
Billy Squire - The Stroke
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son
Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to love
Jimi Hendrix - anything by him would probably do the trick

not sure if this is what you are looking for. let me know if im close.

Really? I thought their first ablum was decent.

How anyone can label Led Zep as even close to Metal has surel never heard Metal...i barely call Led Zep "Hard" Rock....Rock YES...but Hard?

And someone mentioned the Ramones...they arent Hard Rock or Metal..they are Punk all the way.....

If you are simply looking for the top ROCK bands of the seventies..well here is the only list u need...

Pink Floyd
Led Zep
10 Years After
Emerson Lake and Palmer aka ELP
The Rolling Stones
The Eagles

Everything else was shit cheese radio bands who had one hit wonders (maybe 2).

and i am surprised no one has mentioned KISS

Yeah, the tracks don't necessarily need to be hard rock as such, just no pop crap or anything.

And I'd count KISS to the cheese section personally but that's just me...
