Its 1970 not the seventies
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

WOO! CREEDENCE! Yeah, and trespass is great... Have to say though, 'The Knife' is probably my second least favourite song on that album... Its definitely a good song, but I prefer the folkier tunes on that record...

My 5 star picks for 1970:

VDGG - H to He
Genesis - Trespass
King Crimson - Lizard

Almost making the cut is GG's self-titled.

It's hard to choose an absolute favorite of that year, but VDGG certainly comes close.

Yes, I agree it was a good year. Genesis: Trespass and Yes: Time And A Word were my favourites, without a doubt.

Yes released "Time and a Word" in 1970.  Not too shabby.
