If OP is looking for the act that made great work in both decades, if that is the nature of the question, then this is the correct answer. If OP honestly thinks it's Cheap Trick, OP is out of their fucking mind.

I'm actually surprised two people managed to post the correct answer so quickly
Rolling Stones (not so much because they were amazing consistently in the decade, but because they didn't have much competition/bands that played through the whole 70s)
Hüsker Dü (or XTC or R.E.M.)
