I think there's maybe a drop-off at '75/'76 but I may well be wrong.
I think there was too but I still managed to fill out 50 and I'll still get people saying I've missed their fave albums

MUSIK VON HARMONIA YET ANOTHER MASSIVE OVERSIGHT
i listen to "here come the warm jets" more than any other album here so that one

Taking Tiger Mountain and Pretzel Logic are both tempting but I may have to vote for my favorite Bowie album.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 15:28 (five years ago) link
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"... AND WHERE THE FUCK IS FULFILLINGNESS' FIRST FINALE? also, casablanca moon, kimono my house, _todd_

i am torn in between "here come the warm jets" and "on the beach". it used to be the former but i go for the latter now. such a gorgeous stream of melancholy.

Ultiumately, I concur, korny.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 15:57 (five years ago) link
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).
― rob, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 16:06 (five years ago) link
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
― doug watson, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 16:38 (five years ago) link

Big Star - Radio CityDavid Bowie - Diamond DogsFunkadelic - Standing on the Verge of Getting It OnGram Parsons - Grievous AngelKraftwerk - Autobahn
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.

Favorites here: the two Enos, Davis, On the Beach, I want to see the bright lights tonight, Court & Spark, They Say I'm Different, Confusion.Wow, Autobahn is from 1974 ?Rock Bottom I don't return to.
Where are Slapp Happy (seriously, for a krautrock and J.Mitchell fan !), At the Helm (East NY Ensemble de Music), Troppo (M. Garrick), Jolene, Veedon Fleece, I Can't stand the rain ?
― Nabozo, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 19:00 (five years ago) link
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.
― Nabozo, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 19:02 (five years ago) link
Eno, but doubtless most people who say that here will go for the wrong one

Oh yeah, and A tábua de esmeralda cause it's brilliant and Errare Humanum Est is a top 10 songs of all-time.
― Nabozo, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
I went with my gut feeling on the King Crimson twofer, no regrets
great list, and yeah Slapp Happy would be my personal #1 from this year

What a bloody ridiculous list. And without the aforementioned reggae records, New Skin for the Old Ceremony, Joe Henderson's The Elements and Clifford Jordan's Glass Bead Games. Dang.
― Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 19:09 (five years ago) link

― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 19:11 (five years ago) link
And I know little about reggae and dub so i need schooling
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.
other great reggae albums from '74:
King Tubby - Dub From the RootsKeith Hudson & Family Man - Pick a DubAugustus Pablo - This Is Augustus Pablo Burning Spear - Rocking TimeKeith Hudson - Entering the Dragon
