Black Moses is such an opus feel like I would need a couple extra months just to let all the Isaac Hayes from this year sink in properly. He should get way more praise than he does, especially since he was producing himself.

did you know this gets credit for inventing? thought it was kinks

Nah this was the perfect end to the experimental ‘60s. Shame Jimi and Janis couldn’t contribute.

biggest secret of 1971 is that Beach Boys were still the ones with the sauce

wtf

kinks is definitely invented some kind of distortion but i dont know enough about guitar to say what. guess its difference between specifically using fuzz pedal(?) for fuzz bass/guitar and the ripping distorted sound

dude the Beach Boys could've had 3 albums no skips if they released everything they recorded

What bad management and petty rivalries do to a mf. In contrast, Beatles were a small unit going towards the same goal with Brian and George. At least their recordings are out now.
