Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) Neither does Zappa's "Trouble Every Day" and several other tracks, I'm sure. Hence my qualifier "Nearly." Most vietnam protest songs have little/no relevance for today, though. Edited December 27, 2005 by Agent of Oblivion
C Dubya 04 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 I agree with all the albums being named as being good->great. Willie Nelson's RedHeaded Stranger was also released in 1975 and is my 2nd favorite Willie album and amazing.
PLAGIARISM! Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 I could just say Propaganda, but Propaganda.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Posted January 3, 2006 Other 1975 albums I enjoy: Neu! - Neu! '75 Brian Eno - Another Green World Miles Davis - Agharta Roxy Music - Siren The Residents - Third Reich 'n' Roll I like Physical Graffiti, but the scattershot second disc hurts it. Blood on the Tracks is good, but there's so many other Dylan albums I like better. I never cared much for Pink Floyd, so I don't care much for WYWH.

Ravenbomb Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 in no particular order: Horses by Patti Smith Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd Toys in the Attic by Aerosmith
PLAGIARISM! Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 Heh, Dressed To Kill got a 9. That's like something I would have done.
lomasmoney Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 I can't take anything seriously that does not have either Michael Jackson's Off the Wall or Thriller listed in the top 100 respectively for their release years.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted January 7, 2006 Author Report Posted January 7, 2006 Somewhere on the site, the guy who runs fastnbulbous offers a convoluted explanation for his rating scale—just because something falls under "9" in any given year doesn't mean he liked it—but whatever. Though the writing is decent, I don't go to the site for critical analysis.
Nighthawk Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 I didn't know Third Reich n Roll was from 75... I'll agree with Neil Young, but that's close, I like that one a lot. Also Horses. Incandenza hates Patti Smith as I recall. And I do too, from a personal standpoint. But it's a good album. Really her only one that I like all of.
Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 stupid gay bump Wow, I hadn't heard a lot of stuff when I confidently nominated Wish You Were Here. Knowing what I know now, I'd have to say Another Green World. I'm still going with a progressive album here, but as I realized (and trust me, this hurt), Pink Floyd is the gateway drug of progressive music. Fantastic as Wish You Were Here is, I found superior art rock. My top 12, because that seems like a good number. Brian Eno - Another Green World Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Frank Zappa/Captain Beefheart - Bongo Fury Kraftwerk - Radio-Activity Neil Young - Tonight's the Night Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner Kate & Anna McGarrigle Neu! - Neu! '75 No apologies on my low placement of Tonight's the Night. Yeah, I get it, but still. I neither know nor care if its a legitimate manifestation of sadness or an affectation, but when his voice cracks on "Mellow My Mind," that's just a bad sound being made. I love the bookends and "Albuquerque," like everybody does, but I definitely think Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, After the Gold Rush, and Rust Never Sleeps are superior albums, and Harvest might be too, irrespective of Tonight's the Night's tragic genesis. Moreover, in the ever popular "album inspired by two people dying" section, I might even like Magic and Loss better. At least by then, Lou hadn't tried to hit a note, let alone one in his upper register, since about 1976, so we were spared his version of "railroad traAayaAyackk." I finally got around to that Rufus Wainwright's Mom & Aunt album, and it's really enjoyable, especially "Kiss and Say Goodbye" and "Complainte pour Ste Catherine," even if that's one honker of a Québecois accent. (Also, I looked up "mcgarrigle" in the music folder to see who else had listened to it, and I was distressed to find that every instance of it related to my intention to listen to this self-titled album. Suffice to say, I was really embarrassed. When I kill myself, this will be part of why.)
Coffin Surfer Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 A couple great freak out live albums from 75: Area-Are(A)zione Miles Davis-Agherta
AboveAverage484 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 Have to go with Born to Run. "Thunder Road," the title track, "Backstreets," and "Jungleland" are all amazing.
Guest georgia003 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 In fact I have no idea what else was released in '75 off the top o' my head
snuffbox Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 Neil Young was also very drunk when recording Tonight's the Night. Still gets my vote, though.
FroGG_NeaL Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 Bob Marley & The Wailers - "Natty Dread"
Giuseppe Zangara Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Posted November 15, 2007 I stand by the first post.
Cheech Tremendous Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 Totally unnecessary bump, but it's... Probably Tonight's the Night.
