Are you ready to rock? How about some 70s Band Trivia? This week, we give you three song titles from the 1970s, you just have to guess the band. Simple and yet not-so-simple. Just like we did for the 80s, you have to guess what band sang the songs.
Don’t worry, we’ll cover other decades in future episodes, so stay tuned.

Episode Intro
Two music episodes in a row? That’s right, last week we enjoyed some Weird Al. This week, we are jamming to some 70’s tunes.
Hey gang, this is your host Brian Rollins and you are listening to the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This is our second Name that Band episode. Last year, we covered the 80s. This week, it’s the 70s. How it works is I’ll give you three songs released in the 1970s, you tell me the band. The band in question might have had songs before or after the 70s, but we’re just focused on music from that decade. And remember, these are bands, not individual artists. So that might help you narrow it down.
As always, it’s three rounds of ten questions each. If you need rules or a score card, visit the site DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
