[Vanillalite]

What say you Era? What's your fav album from 1973? Sorry I ran out of poll slots. :P

 

[Mona]

gotta go Dark Side,

Floyd is my favorite band of all time

Houses of The Holy and Sabbath are excellent though

 

[JABEE]

Aerosmith by Aerosmith

 

[Hindenblewp]

Larks' Tongues in Aspic

 

[preta]

No mention of Selling England?

 

[andymcc]

Where's Raw fuckin' Power?

 

[Cranster]

Electric Jewels by April Wine.

 

[Sobriquet]

The Stooges - Raw Power

 

[Jesse_and_the_rippers]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road deserves a mention, but Zep would be my choice.

 

[Parch]

Considering that Band On The Run and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are not on the poll, this was an extremely good year for music.

 

[Koukalaka]

Dark Side of the Moon is my choice here, but this is probably second - it might just be my favourite prog rock record. Quadrophenia as an also very close third.

 

[acheron_xl]

 

[Draconian]

The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle

 

[Exist 2 Inspire]

Goats Head Soup

[The Doomed One]

Sabbath.
But you're missing Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies", that one's my close second.

 

[Deleted member 1086]

Out of that list Skynyrd, then Houses

 

[Jesse_and_the_rippers]

Also, I know everyone hates The Eagles but Desperado is probably their best album and that came out in 73.

 

[Eldy]

Probably comes down to The Dark Side of the Moon or Quadrophenia for me. Right now I'm leaning towards the latter, though I could see my choice changing as easily as my mood. Lot of fantastic write-in options so far too.

 

[InspectaDekka]

Queen.

 

[Astro Cat]

I was about to say you forgot T.Rex "Tanx" but then I remembered "Aladdin Sane" when I saw your poll.

The Stooges - Raw Power

Click to shrink...

Oh fuck, this is right.

 

[ElectronicOldMen]

obviously Raw Power.

love Future Days too though.

 

[saenima]

Closing Time by Tom Waits.

 

[treble]

Every single one of those bands sucks

 

[grang]

Brothers and Sisters by Allman Brothers and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John have probably gotten the most play from me along with Dark Side of the Moon

Every single one of those bands sucks

lol

 

[roboleon]

Raw Power

 

[Deleted member 2145]

great year

probably lark's tongue in aspic, birds of fire, or selling england by the pound

also those two beatles compilations are iconic but compilations, worth a shout though

 

[TheGameshark]

Probably would have to go with Dark Side of the Moon but damn Houses of the Holy is so good in its own right. Also while SBS isn't my favorite Sabbath record its a very good album and one of more experimental ones in their discography.

 

[MrS]

Floyd

 

[Axisofweevils]

Dark Side. It still somehow holds up all these years on.

 

[andrew]

Voted "other" for Can - Future Days. One of my favorite albums of all time.

Just unassailable. might get stoned and go listen to outside with some mint lemonade rn.

Dark Side of the Moon would be a close second. even hearing it non-stop on classic rock radio hasn't made it any less entertaining and sweeping.

 

[CthulhuSars]

Larks' Tongues in Aspic. This was a great year for albums but King Crimson released magic.

 

[andrew]

Not rock but '73 is also the year Herbie Hancock released Sextant and Head Hunters within about 6 months of each other. which, wtf man. no chill. that's too much great music for 180 days.

 

[Chairman85]

Quadrophenia, definitely.

 

[treble]

Brothers and Sisters by Allman Brothers and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John have probably gotten the most play from me along with Dark Side of the Moon

Led Zeppelin: child rapists
David Bowie: child rapist
Pete Thownsend: child porn aficionado
Lynard Skynard: drummer into kids
Pink Floyd: collaborated with pedophile

The rest are your regular, untalented, bloated, old dinosaurs of rock.

 

[Cranster]

Every single one of those bands sucks

Nah, your opinion sucks though.

 

[BLEEN]

It's between:
Raw Power - Iggy And The Stooges

Mind Games - John Lennon

Future Days - Can

and
Closing Time - Tom Waits

No particular order, but I'm probably gonna go with Iggy... possibly Can. Fuck; those two albums rock.

That poll is lacking a ton of quality releases.
Besides my favs mentioned above there's also,
Neil Young

McCartney

Brian Eno's debut as a solo artist

King Crimson

and Funkadelic

 

[Parch]

People keep bringing up great albums.
It wasn't a year of just classic rock and prog rock. There's a variety of great music being mentioned.

 

[Blue Sky Noise]

RAW POWER

My man.

 

[Doc Laserstein]

Honorable mention to Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.

 

[Deleted member 4247]

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound

One of the best albums ever made.

 

[Deleted member 18407]

It's a toss up between Far Out's Nihonjin or Buffalo's Volcanic Rock.

 

[SteveWinwood]

aloha from hawaii via satellite

 

[Parch]

There's a fair amount of breakthrough albums here. The early years of some incredible bands and some successful solo attempts.

 

[Deleted member 23893]

Gonna co-sign anyone saying Raw Power. Poll options do almost nothing for me.

 

[nachum00]

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Out of that list? Quadrofenia

 

[Oscillator]

I looked up the rock albums I like from '70 to '74, and there's at least one for every year except '73.
