@SrRochardBunson @stevesilberman I don't see The Doors as a 70s band. They formed a few blocks north of where I lived in Venice, CA when I was in junior high. I was in a band then and we won a Battle of the Bands in 1967 with our rendition of Light my Fire. Not 70s.

Beach Boys were an LA band, of course. Creedence also originated in Los Angeles. Most bands were/are LA bands, like Three Dog Night, Chicago, Steely Dan, you name it. The record business lived in Los Angeles at that time. That's where the best musicians and best studios were, were so it makes sense that bands would form there constantly. This was great for me, being a musician and growing up in a Hollywood connected family. Haha.

So I'm not sure what LA Band means.
