Do you still regularly listen to 70s music?

As in bands albums? 

It occurred to me that although I loved a lot of music back then and still own it on vinyl/CD, I don't really listen to it any more. The one band that I can think of that I still play is Gabriel era Genesis, which I still really like. It's also a bit of a cheat answer, but I love Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited project, so I have all the albums of him playing old Genesis songs live. Bloody love those shows!

Queen, dropped off somewhat for me although I still listen to NotW and Jazz a lot. 
Rush, I still get out Hemispheres or All the worlds a stage. I do still play their early 80s albums but that's a different decade!

The furthest I go back generally is the 80s, I was very into the Neo prog stuff and that is still my favourite music.

    To the extent that I still listen to music at all (not very much, I prefer playing it) and to the extent that I listen to traditional pop and rock flavoured music (rather than classical or jazz), yes, 60s, 70s, and 80s, mostly 70s or early 80s.

    Absolutely.
    CSNY, Frampton, Steely Dan, Sabbath, Wishbone Ash etc are regulars on my old turntable. I never was a punk fan though.

    Yes, loads.

    If for some bizarre reason the only music I could listen to was Bowie's 70s output, I could very much live with that.

    I like streaming and playlists so if I have something on its quite often 1970s dub or roots reggae and recently particularly British reggae of the time like Matumbi, Steel Pulse, Aswad, Capital Letters, Misty in Roots. It's music that I wasn't aware of/didn't have access to/I was too young for at the time so a lot of this is new music to me. 
    Much as I don't like much prog (of any era) it's interesting that I can hear a lot shared sonic palette with reggae of the time - tape delays, phasers, wah,etc. 
    Some of my favourite music is post punk, particularly reggae influenced post punk like The Ruts, The Slits, The Police and all the 2 Tone era stuff (I'd live without Bad Manners). So that's late 1970s into the early 80s. 
    And I like a lot of heavy rock of the 1970s - Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Van Halen. By the mid 1980s heavy rock started to split into the more relentless metal side (Venom to Metallica,etc,etc) or people with bouffant hair (Bon Jovi, post Roth Van Halen,etc) and I lost interest. 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    I dip in from time to time but it wouldn’t be a high percentage of what I listen to now.  Most of what I really like from that era is over familiar.

    Yes**, quite often - Scorpions, Wishbone Ash, Triumph, Starz, Moxy, Frank Marino, Lone Star, Black Sabbath, Rainbow to name a few I've definitely listened to in the last few weeks.

    I guess I probably listen to more from the '80s and early '90s, then not so much from the later '90s and 2000s.  Then quite a lot again from the last 10 to 15 years.

    (** Not Yes the band.  I have listened to them, but not recently.)

    There was just SO MUCH music in the 70s, spanning a range of tastes and styles. A lot of it was extremely well recorded too as DIY hadn't really taken off yet. Big plate reverbs, 16 tracks, early synths and so on. Rock, metal, funk, disco, jazz, reggae and later punk, new wave, ska revival, pop - Some of my most and least favourite stuff comes from the 70s.
    Ten years too late and still getting it wrong

    They've made music since then?
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Forgot NEU!, Can, Faust, Cluster, Harmonia etc, seems I don't count them as 70s.

    I listen to great music. Much of it happens to have been made in the 70s.

    I listen a lot to John Martyn’s 70s albums. I occasionally listen to Wish You Were Here, DSOTM, some 70s Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell and the first two Dire Straits albums.
