Best Album on My Favourite Albums of......1970

it's really hard to believe that all this stuff is only ten years on from the 1950s

Yeti vs. Cosmo's vs. Fun House is impossible, jeez

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).

Bryter Layter is my favourite Nick Drake album.

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.

I didnt vote in the ‘69 one but it would probably would have been King Crimson.

This one is Curtis or Nick Drake

(Grateful Dead is sorely missing)

Not a fan, sorry.

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.

― Shaved Cyborg (Old Lunch)

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.

Rodriguez - Cold Fact (album with ‘Sugar Man’) is quite a pleasant folk rock album from ‘70

Loaded, slightly ahead of Zep III.

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

It's either Paranoid or Fun House for me.

Fun House just ahead of the Groundhogs for me.

went Live at Leeds, that record is a monster

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 Action
Amboy Dukes - Marriage on the Rocks/Rock Bottom (fuck Ted Nugent, obviously)
Hackamore Brick - One Kiss Leads To Another
High Tide
Last Poets
Joni Mitchell - Ladies Of The Canyon
Rustic Hinge - Replicas
Bob Seger - Mongrel
Woody Shaw - Blackstone Legacy
Alan Shorter - Orgasm
The 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.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

BRYTER LAYTER MOTHER FUCKER

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
