Recommended Posts

Peter Gabriel 2 ('scratch')

Genesis - A Trick Of The Tail (though 'Lamb' comes close)

King Crimson - Red

Cluster - Sowiesoso

I was gonna include Close To The Edge but there's too much prog in this list already, but I dunno what else I'd include

 

most of the ones I was going to write were released in 1980 (Duke, Drama, Remain In Light)

Hmmm... prob all three big star albums, Zep III, at least one ABBA album, at least one Kinks album, Michael Jackson - Off the Wall, Queen - A Night at the Opera, maybe Yes - Time and a World, maybe Joni Mitchel - Blue... oh shit almost every Parliament album! Something by kraftwerk, something by Devo, something by Talking Heads... I've got to go through almost all the aforementioned discographies again before i can answer this. 70's was a pretty fucking cool era.

I heard so little from those days really... Of what I've heard (in no particular order):

 

Marianne Faithfull - Broken English (1979)

 

 

(^ - Dat bassline)

 

Brian Eno - Before And After Science (1977)

 

 

Luciano Cillo - Dell'Universo Asente (1978)

 

 

Suicide - Suicide (1977) (Thanks Zephyr for the introduction to this)

Philip Glass - Einstein On The Beach (1978)

 

 

There's so much I haven't heard though, as I said...

Yeah that Frankie Teardrop song off the Suicide record is something else. The world becomes a darker place after you've heard it. It would definitely make my top 10 song recordings of the 70's.

Zappa- joe's garage or waka jawaka/the grand wazoo

jimi- the cry of love

Grant green- live at the lighthouse

Miles Davis- On the corner

Nick Drake- Pink moon

AC/DC - high voltage

 

steely dan - aja (come on guys - no one has said this... for shame!!)

Goblin - Roller

Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra

Can - Soundtracks

I could probably include more jap jazz albums in there but they are about the hardest thing for me to find in my music folder lol.

Damn, I completely forgot to put a Kraftwerk jawn on my list. I'd probably replace "Heroes" with Trans-Europa Express or Man-Machine, but this is really difficult.

Gotta scratch off that Beginning Of The End for that album. Totally forgot about that album. Fuckin' classic.
