Many great albums to choose from. 1971 was truly a high water mark for rock music in general.

I thought I'd add some honorable mentions, especially seeing as I featured Yes on here twice (though they do deserve it—both albums are fantastic): Can - Tago Mago ELP - Tarkus Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame Spirogyra - St. Radigunds Supersister - To the Highest Bidder

what's amazing was I remember reading an article from way back in 1971 and 1972 lamenting how little good new music there was! Sometimes it takes a few years of hindsight to assess the music of a time. Or maybe the writer was just an idiot?
Here's my list Amazing Blondel - Fantasia Lindum Barclay James Harvest - Once Again Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink Earth and Fire - Song of the Marching Children Fresh Maggots - s/t Jade Warrior - s/t Jan Dukes de Grey - Rats and Mice in the Loft Jethro Tull - Aqualung Moody Blues - Every Good Boy O.W.L - Of Wondrous Legends Alan Stivell - Renaissance de la harpe celtique (someone else listed this in 1972 but according to PA and discogs, it's 1971) Strawbs - From the Witchwood Edited by kenethlevine - June 23 2021 at 09:46 |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
