there are few albums as singular, as beautiful, as mysterious as “rock bottom” — i don’t know anything that sounds quite like it.
it also achieves an emotional depth that, before hearing it, i didn’t realize was possible in “rock” music.
plus ivor cutler, i mean c’mon.
a very important album for me. so it’s robert wyatt this year.

On the Beach and Taking Tiger Mountain are extremely perfect rock Albums as well imo

There are quite a few POCs on this list. 1974 was a great year for soul and funk and reggae.
― Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 28 February 2019 17:36 (five years ago) link
That's because you will be voting for the wrong one ;)
It hurts to bypass Zuckerzeit and On The Beach, but this is Warm Jets for me.

can never understand why that ragtag bunch of demos and neat ideas has so much more critical cachet than the ensuing full-bore rock masterpiece but I guess that's opinions eh!!!
― imago, Thursday, 28 February 2019 18:09 (five years ago) link
you can say what you want about HCTWJ but they aren't "ragtag demos"
Here Come the Warm Jets was recorded in twelve days at Majestic Studios in London during September 1973 by recording engineer Derek Chandler.
After recording the individual tracks, Eno condensed and mixed the instrumentation deeply, resulting in some of the tracks bearing little resemblance to what the musicians recorded during the session.

haha fine. it definitely sounds more 'try this, see what happens' than its successor, which feels very much of a piece and calculated to destroy me
― imago, Thursday, 28 February 2019 18:18 (five years ago) link
Calling HCTWJ demos is ludicrous.

sorry, i live get up with it but “red china blues” is fucking trash and almost ruins the record

not sure you can say anything is missing when you have only heard 5 of the albums in the poll!

Plenty of fine titles above and within thread. Odd to phrase it this way, but if i had to give up ever listening to all but one of these titles, i would have to choose,,,

My favourite album of 1974 is probably I Can't Stand The Rain by Ann Peebles, but out of these maybe one of the Enos?
