I saw that Shuggie Otis CD (on Luaka Bop) for 30p recently but left it because there was a stain on the booklet and I tend not to hang onto them if they're a bit manky.

I really hope some of you check out this wonderful album which features a backing group of certain pfunk alumni inc Eddie and Bernie and the life and death suite is some of the most amazing music ever made.Chairmen of the Board - Skin I'm In

Why are the King Crimson and Miles albums grouped into single options but the two Eno albums separate options? This is Red vs The Lamb vs Warm Jets for me. Might go with The Lamb for the number of times I've listened to it on long drives.

1. Radio City2. Court & Spark3. I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
Another great year, the first half of the '70s was such a great time for albums, I think there's maybe a drop-off at '75/'76 but I may well be wrong.

interesting picks. i always thought of '74 as the last great year for prog, but when i go through my '74 i am finding a lot of soul as well. blue magic s/t, black heat's "no time to burn", george duke's "feel"...

I'm torn between Zuckerzeit, which is one of those albums that I always enjoy hearing no matter what, and (kind of surprisingly) On the Beach. The Fela is once again super tempting, I probably should have held out for Confusion tbh, which is colossal.
The Jorge Ben and Harmonia albums already mentioned would be my own most important additions along with Dadawah, Peace & Love and Keith Hudson, Flesh of My Flesh Blood of My Blood. This is also a foundational year for dub (Pick a Dub, Dub from the Roots, The Roots of Dub).

Eno will get my vote for 75 so I'll choose The Lamb for 74. It still feels wrong to not click On The Beach or Court & Spark

Not a good year for this rockist (no Sabbath album!) but I will go with Parsons only slightly over Kraftwerk and a little above the rest.

I voted for Davis cause Get Up with It is my favorite by him and cause you split Mr Jean Baptise de la Salle in two.

1974 I was really all about Sparks, both of their '74 albums are on my alltime list. Nice to see Hatfield and the North mentioned above, I may have played their s/t more than any of the albums on the poll.

There's my favourite Bowie, maybe my favourite Neil Young, totally amazing mindblowing stuff by Eno, Genesis, King Crimson, Roxy Music (and a wonderful Richard & Linda Thompson album as well).But even if I am a massive fan of all of those and especially Bowie and Diamond Dogs IS my fave Bowie...It's Gene Clark - No Other for me.
― Valentijn, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 20:50 (five years ago) link
missed the Richard & Linda Thompson, that might have beaten Neil Young, but I'm happy with my choice.
