Giuseppe Zangara Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Let's talk about good albums from 1973. Open for discussion: Stevie Wonder - Innervisions Todd Rundgren - A Wizard, A True Star Can - Future Days New York Dolls - s/t David Bowie - Aladdin Sane Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure Roxy Music - Stranded Bryan Ferry - These Foolish Things Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets Genesis - Selling England By the Pound King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic Feel free to add more!
Matt Young Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Paul McCartney & Wings- Band on the Run Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon Led Zeppelin- Houses of the Holy Marvin Gaye- Let's Get It On ZZ Top- Tres Hombres
Nighthawk Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 The Stooges - Raw Power (pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd) Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup (I know this is less popular, but it's my favorite Stones album) Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies Tom Waits - Closing Time
Kinetic Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Aladdin Sane is probably my 2nd least favorite Bowie album from his peak period. Still good, though. Here Come the Warm Jets remains my favorite Eno album. A busy year for Bryan Ferry, apparently.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 I like Goats Head Soup. Some duds, sure, but there's some classics on it. Closing Time remains my favorite Waits album from the 70s; for all the virtures of those that followed, a lot of his lounge lizard work was interchangeable.
Ravenbomb Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Tom Waits - Closing Time Aerosmith - s/t Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Frank Zappa - Over-Nite Sensation
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Paul McCartney & Wings- Band on the Run Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon Led Zeppelin- Houses of the Holy Marvin Gaye- Let's Get It On ZZ Top- Tres Hombres I'm pretty sure there's no competition.
Copper Feel Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 What? Of course there is, hence all of the other albums in this thread. Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo Lou Reed - Berlin
Gary Floyd Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Faust-Faust IV Black Sabbath-Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Gong-Flying Teapot Mike Oldfield-Tubular Bells
Red Baron Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 The Eagles: Desperado Best album released in 1973.
Red Baron Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 This was the exact response I was looking for.
Copper Feel Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I have only heard Hotel California by the Eagles, well, that and their Greatest Hits. On the two albums the only song I don't despise is the former's title track.
C Dubya 04 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Piano Man is a very strong album, as most of Billy Joel's pre-80's stuff is. Of course, the title track being beaten into the ground hurts the album, but otherwise, there is some good stuff.
The Man in Blak Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Not sure I'd consider these in conversation for the best of the year, but some other interesting releases: John Cale - Paris 1919 (Stunned that Czech submitted Springsteen over this, by the way.) Henry Cow - Leg End Magma - Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters Also, a major year of crap in the Beatles' solo work: John and George coast on Mind Games and Living in the Material World, while Paul and Ringo release what many would argue are the best albums of their solo careers in Band on the Run and Ringo, respectively. I'm not even sure you could make a decent album if you clipped the listenable songs from all four albums into one, frankly.
Gary Floyd Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 The Eagles: Desperado Best album released in 1973. The Dude: Jesus, man, could you change the channel? Cab Driver: Fuck you man. If you don't like my fuckin' music get your own fuckin' cab! The Dude: I had a rough... Cab Driver: I pull over and kick your ass out! The Dude: Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!
Matt Young Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I forgot aboutSabbath Bloody Sabbath. Great album.
Gary Floyd Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I forgot aboutSabbath Bloody Sabbath. Great album. Sadly, it was the last great album they did.
Cheech Tremendous Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I forgot aboutSabbath Bloody Sabbath. Great album. Sadly, it was the last great album they did. ...until Heaven & Hell.
