Almost forgot about the Brothers Gibb. They already scored hits in the early 70's before they hopped on the Disco train:

Yeah, they were huge in my neck of the woods back in the day. My sister was such a huge fan that at her 11th birthday party, half the guests got her a copy of their then-current album. As for me, I preferred their '60s stuff.
If I had to choose one artist to represent my '70s, it would be David Bowie, with Stevie Wonder as a close record. Both had an amazing run of LPs in that decade.
Yep. Either one of them is a completely solid choice.
Another "Wouldn't Be The First One Who Came To Mind..." hit me yesterday in the afternoon.
Willie Nelson.
Heck, you could take just the two halves of his seventies output(Both Sides Now through Phases And Stages or Red Headed Stranger through Pretty Paper) and he would still be in the running.
Shoutout to the late, GREAT Bernard Edwards who left us waaay to soon. Man, Nile Rodgers, that is all.
Anyway, 3 pages in and no mention of the golden era of THE FUNK!?!? Parliment, EW&F, Issac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, none of that ring any 70's bells... Ban yourselves, all of you.
My favorite group of the 70's is The Ohio Players and so I'll admit they may not represent the entirety of the decade. If I cast a non-FUNK vote it would be Chicago then, I feel they were a cooler version of Fleetwood Mac if you are talking about the most mainstream acts of the 70's.
Beefing up the old home security, huh?You bet yer ass.
David Bowie was probably the most versatile. His discography is pretty prolific and he reinvented his sound, pretty successfully, constantly.

Sure, for homophobic white guys sticking their heads in the sand.
For the rest, the 70s were just as revolutionary as the 60s. Female solo artists were around much more, and now they were writing their own songs, like Carole King and Joni Mitchell.
And I can't stress enough how much it meant to queer people. Johnny Mathis never had the kind of freedom Sylvester, Tony Washington (of the Dynamic Superiors) or Carl Bean had. And once Disco was murdered, it was right back into the closet with black artists like Luther Vandross.
