love pop, heavy metal, funk, disco, punk and psychedelic whatever from these years, including a good deal of folk & blues, but not the stuff asylum was peddling, apparently
yeah haha, that was me too - for a lotta years the only things on asylum I even OWNED were Dylan and the Dictators! But eventually I was turned onto Joni and Tom Waits
Still heard only about 1/3 of these or less so won't dare voting - consider that one missed vote for Roses.

I haven't heard enough of these to vote either - but the Judee Sill s/t is one of my favorite albums, so I doubt anything would dislodge it.

does anyone know who the female singer is on "Take Me Faraway?" i have my suspicions but some quick googling isn't turning up the answer.― Mordy, Thursday, March 15, 2012 8:57 AM (7 hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink i should say, Ned Doheny's "Take Me Faraway," but now i'm thinking maybe it's actually Ned, lol. my bad.

May be Graham Nash actually; he's credited with backing vocals on his first album, and he has a high voice.

"Court And Spark", because I find it hard to believe that any of the other albums could be even better...

In one of the few instances in which Geffen's instincts were proved wrong, Geffen believed that the Eagles' popularity had peaked with their first album. Desperado had been a commercial bust, and now it seemed to him to be a question whether they would even finish a third. After the group had gone to London with Glyn Johns, infighting had forced them to return after only six of a planned twelve-week recording stand. They had recorded only two songs.
It was just before Christmas 1973 when the band's feelings toward Geffen grew even more adversarial. Their business manager informed them that they had not made any money on their recently completed Desperado tour, as the profits had gone back to the management company, which he said was owed the money from back commissions. Frey, Henley, and the others were irate as they realized they did not have money to buy Christmas presents.
One day, after calling the management office to ask for a limousine to take the group to the airport for a concert date, Glenn Frey decided he could take no more. Irving Azoff, who had booked the concert, put his hand over the receiver and asked Elliot Roberts what he should tell Frey.
"Tell Glenn he doesn't get a limo," Roberts snapped. "Tell him to get a hippie in a cab and go to the fuckin' airport!"

I voted for Judee Sill's but can't argue with either of the records that beat it. With every year I love early 70s songwriters more - must be a sign of aging.
