yeah i go off my tags, which are frequently wrong. sub in "fat albert rotunda" if you like even though that one isn't quite as good
― the scientology of mountains (rushomancy), Friday, 8 February 2019 14:28 (five years ago) link
Fat Albert Rotunda is '69, I believe.
Gil Scott-Heron's debut was in '70. Not as good as what came after but pretty damn noteworthy nonetheless.

yeah I think it is '69

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath,Black Sabbath - Paranoid
If you're gonna invent heavy metal, may as well put out a second album the same year to show everyone you mean business.
Funkadelic - Free Your Mind... and Your Ass Will FollowFunkadelic - FunkadelicParliament - Osmium
Meanwhile, George Clinton says "Two albums? Weak sauce, Tony..."
And then there's these:
Kraftwerk - KraftwerkLed Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IIIMC5 - Back In The UsaMiles Davis - Bitches BrewNeil Young - After the Gold RushPink Floyd - Atom Heart MotherSyd Barrett - The Madcap LaughsThe Stooges - Fun HouseThe Velvet Underground - Loaded
This is a tough choice. I am going to go with Paranoid for the simple reason I likely played it more than any of the other albums.

After The Gold Rush
It could easily have been Paranoid or Fun House too

& Sunflower & Loaded!
Fairport, "Full House" + Steeleye, "Hark! the Village Wait" btw... oh and "Nilsson Sings Newman" and "12 Songs" by Randy Newman.

Yeti vs. Cosmo's vs. Fun House is impossible, jeez
― sleeve, Friday, 8 February 2019 21:59 (five years ago) link
Out of the list, I would probably go for Third, Yeti, Curtis or even Bryter Layter (which has shot up in my esteem).Some of my own favorites are probably Força Bruta, Is it Because I'm Black and Moondance. Also Ladies of the Canyon.And three other Brazilian records: Cantiga de longe (Lôbô), September 17, 1969 (A. Gilberto), Orfeo novo (Gismonti).
― Nabozo, Friday, 8 February 2019 22:11 (five years ago) link
Bryter Layter is my favourite Nick Drake album.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Friday, 8 February 2019 22:13 (five years ago) link
after the goldrush. such a perfect album. not sure if it is neil's best, on the beach is more to the bone, harvest is more sentimental. but after the goldrush is amazing as it anticipates the hangover after flower power. and i am still intrigued about that movie.
― Ich bin kein Berliner (alex in mainhattan), Friday, 8 February 2019 22:25 (five years ago) link
I didnt vote in the ‘69 one but it would probably would have been King Crimson.
This one is Curtis or Nick Drake

sigh. so instead of my tags i go off rym and they're wrong too. time is an illusion y'all.
"small talk at 125th and lenox"? track a6, hard pass on that one

I dunno if that's the source for wrong year tags in jazz albums, but AMG used to date jazz albums by the year they were recorded instead of the release year, so Mwandishi for example was a 1970 album according to them. Why they did that, I have no idea.
― Tuomas, Saturday, 9 February 2019 10:43 (five years ago) link
Rodriguez - Cold Fact (album with ‘Sugar Man’) is quite a pleasant folk rock album from ‘70

Voted for Band of Gypsys ahead of Zep III and Fun House.

Oh, Bitches Brew is up there too, obv, probably Third next.
I thought you would have voted Bitches Brew
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Monday, 11 February 2019 10:58 (five years ago) link
It's either Paranoid or Fun House for me.
― pomenitul, Monday, 11 February 2019 10:59 (five years ago) link
Fun House just ahead of the Groundhogs for me.

Yet a few more unmentionwd notables and personal touchstones (not that I'd necessarily vote for any of these.) 1970 was just that massive.
Alice Cooper - Easy ActionAmboy Dukes - Marriage on the Rocks/Rock Bottom (fuck Ted Nugent, obviously)Hackamore Brick - One Kiss Leads To AnotherHigh TideLast PoetsJoni Mitchell - Ladies Of The CanyonRustic Hinge - ReplicasBob Seger - MongrelWoody Shaw - Blackstone LegacyAlan Shorter - OrgasmThe Stark Reality - Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop
Bicycles on CCR album covers are nice, but only one of these 50 has an actual functioning wheel included. So Zep III gets my vote.
