1973
Well if it isn't another damn good year for rock n' roll! For some reason this list seems a bit like top of the charts, classic rock classics list. Sorry for that, it does feel a bit generic now that I revisit. The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd albums aren't my favorites from them but still highly worthy of inclusion. We do have a trio of lesser known albums, including
The Great Lost Kinks Album which is definitely worth seeking out if you're a 60s Kinks fan. Barefoot Jerry is a pretty recent discovery, and this album blends country rock, prog, folk rock, and southern rock into something that reminds me at times of Wishbone Ash and The Grateful Dead (based on my limited exposure to The Dead). And Museo Rosenbach's Zarathustra is one gem of a prog album that has some staying power. Check it out.
