That's the Way of the World is a conspicuous omission.

This was Curtis since literally before I was born.

Easiest one so far as Expensive Shit / Water no get Enemy are the two best songs to blast in an open living room.
I like Blood on the Tracks and Horses too, and Deluxe, otherwise it looks like a really weak year.Add: Días y flores (Rodriguez), Everything Scatter (Kuti), Funky Kingston (Toots)...

Biggest poll omission, and what I probably would’ve voted for is Leroy Hutson’s incredible Hutson LP, my favorite in 70s soul. You NEED this album.

Voted for Parliament as the chances are exceedingly high that I'll vote for Fela in 1977

Physical Graffiti just over Sabotage. Would have voted for Mothership Connection - but if I did, I'd also be voting for Chocolate City which just ain't gonna happen.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Sunday, 10 March 2019 07:45 (five years ago) link
Chocolate City is brilliant

I assume that was a mistake sticking the two albums together like that?
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Sunday, 10 March 2019 13:48 (five years ago) link
no, Like the last poll I had to do it to make the 50 limit on the poll
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 March 2019 14:09 (five years ago) link
Cheat.

I ended up going with Evening Star despite how rigged this poll is (PINK FLOYD RULES).

That Nils Lofgren album is really good

Props to NME for being into Bob Marley before he got big.
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 11 March 2019 17:59 (five years ago) link
And for still riding with Curtis, even after his commercial star had stopped shining as brightly.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Monday, 11 March 2019 18:04 (five years ago) link
the nils lofgren s/t is fine, i wouldn't call it "good"
he can write a song, and his voice is really pleasant to listen to imo but the grin and early solo records kinda drag, i feel like they are hampered by bad arrangements and too much filler
"everybody's missing the sun" is like a perfect song tho

Voting for Harmonia

The Dictators Go Girl Crazy a distant third with a huge choice between probably my favorite Aerosmith album against a Black Sabbath disc that isn't their best but might be their darkest.
Think I have to go with 'Smith for this one but it's very close.

not quite as many votes as the 1974 poll, but almost!

Good result overall, although I remain Dylagnostic and AGW is a bit too worshipped ;-)

And Brown Rice would have been my vote fer sure. Einsjager def '75 as well.

Dang, I would have sworn I cast a vote for Siren. Well, consider it tied with The Snow Goose. (But it's better than that.)

Eric H. started a poll about Earth, Wind & Fire’s That’s the Way of the World, an album that, as he noted upthread, really should have been on the 1975 list. Link here.
