and my favorite 70's album and best live album ever...

Kansas - Two for the Road

Raw Power or Nevermind the Bollocks

[GlobalObserver]

KISS Alive! (1975)

This is the album that started it all for me.

Hard to pick one, so here's a few. I doubt these would be on anyone else's lists.

Toss up for me; Between KISS- Alive and The Bay City Rollers- Dedication.

SC

I had both of those. They hold some nostalgia for me, but Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, The Eagles' Hotel California, Zepplin's Houses of the Holy, Clapton's 461 Ocean Blvd. and Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd, Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell, The Who's Who's Next and Elton John's Greatest hits are probably my favorites from 1970s.

George Harrison's All Things Must Pass...



Jethro Tull's Aqualung.



Fleetwood Mac's Black Magic Woman... Although Carlos Santana does a great cover of the song, it was a Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac original.

Osibisa's self titled album. If I had to pigeon hole their sound, I'd say it was an AfriCaribbean Rock with a strong Jazz influence....



Although it was recorded in 1967, I first discovered The Songs of Leonard Cohen in 1974, so I associate this with the Seventies. His "Best Of" album released in 1975 was built around the strongest songs from this album...



David Bowie's Young Americans...



Peter Gabriel's self titled Album... The first single from the Album, Solsbury Hill is one of those songs that gets better with each listen...



Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True...



The debut album of The Police, Outlandos d'Amour...



The Clash's London Calling was a compelling album. It had a great sound, and was musically complex.



Little Feat's Waiting For Columbus...



Van Morrison's Tupelo Honey...

[jp1969]

If only 1 pick,I say Pink Floyd's the dark side of the moon.

"There is no dark side of the moon really,as a matter of fact its all dark"

[megojim]

Like many others KISS ALIVE II has to be my favorite
Ted Nugent's Double Live Gonzo is a close second
The first Album I ever bought was Michael Jackson's Ben . . . . so it gets honorable mention for that alone . . . .

[wilbs518]

The Ramones-Ramones

[ctc]

Hmmmm....

Tossup between Blue Oyster Cult's "Secret Treaties" and Jethro Tull's "Warchild."

Don C.

[david_b]

WOW.. Nice selections thus far. I'd say it's a toss-up to:

Wings' "Band On the Run" or "Venus and Mars"
Stones' "Sticky Fingers" or "Exile on Main Street"
George's "All Things Must Pass" and Ringo's "Ringo"

Special merit goes to both Blondie's "Parallel Lines" and the "Story of Star Wars" (the one with the narration and acutal dialog from the movie..).

Anyone actually know whether "Story of Star Wars" is on CD or not..?

Anything SHAUN CASSIDY!!
Anything Michael Jackson (RIP) or Jackson 5
Early Rick Springfield (Beginnings, Mission Magic, Comic Book Heroes)

I love the Comic Book Heroes album, used to listen to that one all the time. Still would like to get it on cd someday! I've still got my original copy on vinyl thankfully.
