Rick N. Backer Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I didn't see Goats Head Soup anywhere else on here. The end of the Stones' golden era. Angie, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker), Dancing With Mr. D, and Starf*cker all on the same album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Sawyer Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Every year is a killer year if you know where to look. :goodone: Except for Prog in the mid to late 80s. Mostly that period sucked. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Bay Rush Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hard to beat the early 70s. Paul McCartney put out his best solo tunes then too... as I type, Uncle Alberta / Admiral Halsey is playing on the radio. Great song! Selling England by the Pound was maybe the best of that year... maybe. "Can you tell me where my country lies, said the uniform to his true love's eyes" Pure art...

Cygnus 2112 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Can you guys recommend just 10 of these albums to me? I've missed out on the classic rock era and would like to dive into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 You could probably make a similar thread for every year from about 1967 to about 1983 I couldn't. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 actually, my copy of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" says it's 1974. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 1971 reigns supreme: Led Zeppelin IVWho's NextFragileSticky FingersAqualungMaster of RealityAllman Brothers Fillmore EastGrateful Dead - Skull and RosesThe Yes AlbumFragileMeddleNursery Cryme Well for me 1973 was clearly a better year for Zep, Yes, Sabs, Floyd, Genesis and The Who. Can't believe the amount of goodness contained in just that bunch. Remember this is subjective, not going on worldwide sales or anything as bogus. Not really a fan for the rest of that list :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I know there's gonna be a few more amazing albums awaiting discovery for 1973 but so far this is what I got.

custom55 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) That was my senior year high school / freshman year college. A great year for concerts too !!!
