Best Album on My Favourite Albums of......1975

To be true is,I think,the last with teddy. has my favourite harold melvin song the single "bad luck " on it. Disco classic

Teddy just had the best voice.

I'm wrong, wake up everybody, the next album, is the last with teddy

Teddy is god but I still went '75.

im not sure how i managed to miss them out in my lists

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

By my listening list (going back to '96), these are the five I have played the most.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Led Zeppelin- Physical Graffiti
Black Sabbath- Sabotage
Neil Young- Tonight's the Night
Jeff Beck- Blow by Blow

you've taken a note of everything you've listened to since 96?

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)...

weak? no way

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.

By my listening list (going back to '96), these are the five I have played the most.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Led Zeppelin- Physical Graffiti
Black Sabbath- Sabotage
Neil Young- Tonight's the Night
Jeff Beck- Blow by Blow

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.

Chocolate City is brilliant

I assume that was a mistake sticking the two albums together like that?

no, Like the last poll I had to do it to make the 50 limit on the poll

Cheat.

hardly. its cost the vote of turrican #1

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

That Nils Lofgren album is really good

not heard it

Props to NME for being into Bob Marley before he got big.

And for still riding with Curtis, even after his commercial star had stopped shining as brightly.

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

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

*shrugs*

Wonder if we will get as many votes as the last poll

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.

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

ah my funkadelic vote didn't register :(

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.

a lot of votes still

Thanks to everyone who voted.

New poll!
Best Album on My Favourite Albums of......1976

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.
