MB's Top 100 Albums of the 70-74 - Rate Your Music

EDIT: Okay, now Seltzer, Wayfarer and I are going to start editing it.

Seltzer · 02-21-2008, 01:49 AM

Haha, I have many to add. This is just my first list:

Camel - Mirage
Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink
Caravan - For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night
Gentle Giant - In A Glass House
Genesis - Selling England By the Pound
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
David Bowie - Hunky Dory

EDIT: Second list:

Gong - You
Gong - Angel's Egg
Yes - Close to the Edge
Pentangle - Cruel Sister
Deep Purple - In Rock
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Allman Brothers Band - Eat a Peach
Allman Brothers Band - Brothers and Sisters
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Between Nothingness and Eternity
Herbie Hancock - Mwandishi
Herbie Hancock - Thrust

There should probably be some Van Morrison up there because I've heard nothing but stellar comments about his early 70s material. But I haven't listened to the albums myself, so I'm not suggesting them yet. Just putting it out there... maybe someone has listened to them?

EDIT 2: Got rid of some unknown albums like Fuzzy Duck's S/T and the doubles.

I put some of his up there and I've listened to them. I doubt they'll all make it on the final list but I think Veedon Fleece is top 100 worthy.

Comus · 02-21-2008, 04:21 AM

Not enough prog, also *puts up hand* I wanna help editing the list

?

Let me add you to MSN now and invite you into the chat.

Seltzer · 02-21-2008, 05:25 AM

Ok, we have it down to 116 unordered albums. We're going to look at getting rid of some krautrock because we have loads on there... 2 Can albums, Amon Duul, Faust, Neu!, Ash Ra Tempel, Cluster, Kraftwerk... Might shave off a couple of other prog albums too.

Long as you keep the Serge Gainsbourg album in there somewhere, I'm a happy man!

Damn it, MSN doesn't work on Macs! Ah well. Moondance?
