1. Agreed. A very good year.

[Lefty48197]

13. Michelle shows her inner demon.

God almighty, is she scary or what? Look at the evil that lives within her.

[JVS]

2. Timothy!

[regnaD kciN]

15. ROTFLMAO!

Further proof that this list "bites"... :evilgrin:

(From what I understand, "Timothy" was an attempt by The Buoys to get out of their recording contract -- come up with a song that would get the label to drop them like a hot potato.)

[tarkus]

3. Believe it or not, you missed some...

Emerson Lake and Palmer- Tarkus
Genesis- Nursery Cryme
Mahavishnu Orchestra- The Inner Mounting Flame
Jethro Tull- Aqualung (71 I think)

Timeless albums, every one!

[coloradodem2005]

5. My additions.

Led Zeppelin IV
Black Sabbath- Masters of Reality.
Deep Purple-Fireball.

[69KV]

6. Okay you both got me on that one

Prog rock and heavy metal did start coming out in a big way in '71 and I did mostly a pop list-
but how could I have missed ELP and Led Zeppelin IV?! I also remember the Who's "Who's Next" came out in '71, "Goin' Mobile", "Behind Blue Eyes", "Won't Get Fooled Again" etc.
also:
The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Traffic
The Yes Album - Yes
Nantucket Sleighride - Mountain
"Riders on the Storm" - The Doors

I missed a *bunch*...

[coloradodem2005]

8. How could I forget "Who's Next?

That is a great album.

[69KV]

14. Genesis..

Nursery Cryme was '71, was Foxtrot '71 or '72? Foxtrot is my all time favorite Genesis album. Great band back in the Peter Gabriel days.

[TroubleMan]

4. Al Green - Tired Of Being Alone

How could you miss that one?

[69KV]

7. Good catch

That was his first hit too. Shame on me :spank:

All these additions only prove that for music, 1971 was the Best. Year. Ever. :)

[TroubleMan]

10. 1972 was a great year, too.

nt.

[69KV]

16. 72 was good too

I think pretty much everything from 1968 until disco and arena rock started taking over was a great time for music. Can't go wrong with 1972 either. I'll have to post a list...

[sundog]

9. David Bowie - Hunky Dory

B-)

[Lefty48197]

11. Wow! It WAS a very good year.

.

[Old and In the Way]

12. Live/Dead "Skull and Roses"

The greatest live album ever. (IMHO)

[miss_kitty]

17. christ. '71 totally ate as a year musically

i'm glad i was megastoned most of the time, and i had plenty of hendrix, zappa and zep to get me through 'the dark years'
