Best "ALBUM" of the 70's?

[elevation2u]

i forgot to add
simon& garf
bridge over troubled water

 

[The Sad Punk]

Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove

I guess either Curtis or the Superfly soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield wins for me. Or Real Life by Magazine.

 

[If you shout...]

Why are we still playing...? Wasn't The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle already mentioned? This one's done, people.

 

[Axver]

This isn't a thread for the most over-rated albums of the seventies, though.

GibsonGirl actually gave the correct answer. PF's Animals wins.

 

[Zoots]

You fail at life.

As overrated as it may be....

/Thread.

 

[dancingcat]

The Clash Londons Calling
Sex Pistols Never mind the Bollocks
The Stooges Funhouse
Iggy & the Stooges Raw Power
Joy Division Unknown Pleasures

I disagree, but at least it's better than shit (ie, Animals), right? I used to love Dark Side of the Moon, and I definitely still enjoy it, but I feel that as time marches on, it feels more and more sterile every day. Is anybody with me on this...? I'm not hating, or anything; I'm just diminishing my praise incrimentally, as time passes.

I'm assuming you're just trying to be funny, because if you knew Springsteen at all, you'd know that his second album usually is not mentioned that much because it is overshadowed by Born To Run and Darkness On The Edge Of Town.

It really is a brilliant album.

 

[UberBeaver]

Houses of the Holy.
Television's Marquee Moon is friggin brilliant as well.

 

[God Part III]

Where's Plastic Ono Band?

 

[Screwtape2]

I disagree, but at least it's better than shit (ie, Animals), right?

"He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream."

What's not to love about Animals? Animals>DSOTM.

The Who- Who's Next
Steely Dan- Countdown To Ecstacy
Stevie Wonder- Innervisions

Steely Dan- Countdown To Ecstacy
Stevie Wonder- Innervisions

Great choices. I completely forgot about Innervisions when I made my list. I put Live At Leeds down for a second, but I prefer the deluxe, expanded edition that was most certainly not released in 1970.

 

[joyfulgirl]

In addition to many of the great records already mentioned, I submit:

 

[Canadiens1131]

Ohhhhhhh! Make love to me, Ziggy Stardust! I take you home, I make you fish bowl soup! Fish bowl!

 

[ntalwar]

The Wall.

 

[impy13]

 

[Canadiens1131]

Ahhh fuck I forgot!

Astral Weeks is a contender as well

 

[Aygo]

Trans-Europe Express
The Man-Machine
Led Zeppelin III
Quadrophenia
Let It Be
Dark Side Of the Moon
The Wall

 

[angelordevil]

YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP-YIP!!!

Wow. I have never heard anyone even slightly criticizing Animals, let alone calling it shit. What exactly don't you like about it, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Knuckle]

Rolling Stones...

Some Girls

 

[cdisantis83]

My answer is Led Zeppelin IV, for the 70s and for all time.

 

[Zoots]

Holy shit! Yes! It's a tough competition between that one and Dark Side... IMO.

 

[cdisantis83]

Nice taste!

For me:
1. Zeppelin IV
2. Dark Side
3. Quadrophenia
4. Wish You Were Here
5. Sticky Fingers

 

[GibsonGirl]

Three of the songs exceed ten minutes! Oh no, progressive rock!

 

[XHendrix24]

One glaring omission to thread:

NOW we're good.

 

[Lancemc]

If you're going to pick an Eno album I'd say you HAVE to go with Another Green World. Unparalleled to this day.
