70's, eh?  How about those by Alice Cooper? "Alice Cooper Goes To Hell",
"From The Inside", "Welcome To My Nightmare", "Billion Dollar Babies",
"School's Out".  In the 90's, he did (the excellent) "The Last Temptation".

The 80's had some interesting ones, such as David+David's "Boomtown",
(burning out in LA), and Warren Zevon's "Transverse City" (cyberpunk/future
shock).
