Well actually not just easy to grow easy to keep alive
I have never had live plants and I will be starting up my 75 gallon tank soon and I need some ideas. I'm looking for some floating plants and some larger bushey ones. Any ideas are great, Thanks!

With a floating plant you cannot go past Water Sprite its cheap and grows extremly well.

I'm surprised Keith failed to mention anubias, seeing as how his [beautiful] tank is crawling with it. You really can't beat anubias in terms of untouchability. You could run one over with a truck, followed by a week in the dark and it'd continue growing.

The reason I did not mention Anubias as I do not consider them "some larger bushey ones" Yes mine look like that because there are so many there in fact too many. Also remember I have had some of those plants for well over 10 years and some were not young when I bought them. To me they are easy but very slow growers.
Anyway here is the concerned tank called "Placidity"

Java moss is a floating plant. Very hardy too, very easy to keep.
Java Fern is also easy to keep. You can attach this one on driftwoods or rocks and it's cool.
