What Music Was Gary Gygax In To?

What music was Gygax, Arneson, and the others in to? What was the 'sound track' of the 'Grand Auld Gayme' during that seminal period in the 1970s?

The game feels like Hard Rock but Country was very popular in that time period too. From these fora I found an interview...


...where Gygax speaks of his musical interests when he was younger, "classical, blues, Spanish, and modern jazz." I don't know, that sounds like something I would tell an interview so I don't sound like a total rube.

Was Dave Arneson in to Black Sabbath? Blue Oyster Cult? Was Kuntz a Led Zeppelin fan? Maybe Gary was all about Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton? Does anybody have a clue?
