i havent heard any of his albums before 1972 yet. gonna peep the 1970 one Milton tomorrow

Lo Borges also dropped his solo debut right after Clube da Esquinaa in 1972. lowkey he might have had more of the highlights than Milton. only heard this album twice so far but definitely very good. and digestible with short songs only

all the big ones of prog made stuff thats as basically as good as it gets with 3 of the all time great long epics (Suppers Ready, Close to the Edge, Thick as a Brick). kraut probably peaking, plus canterbury, international scenes catching up, still some psych remnant underground bands, space rock kicking in

Hard Rock not as deep as it was but still getting into its status as one of rock's biggest commercial behemoth styles. Sabbath, Purple, Heep in their peaks plus some beginnings of bands that would peak soon like BOC

maybe im sleeping on some deep glam but accordingly to my library ive only even heard 4 glam albums from 1972. doesnt appear to have as much depth beyond the big ones. if its an all time year from any scene i need you to put a top 10 glam albums of the year list, thats a wild statement

feel like Pink Floyd must have heard this cause there are unmistakable bits of Brain Damage

3 months of marination on these guys and I stand by what I said still not crazy about those Genesis, Yes and Tull albums but ill upgrade prog to an ok year. Ege Bamyasi is great but the rest of the kraurock bands weren't on fire really. Sabbath obv had a classic year and Heep were good but I gave up on Deep Purple yesterday. tried the live album and everything a few times. hate those guys.

meanwhile Bowie, Roxy and Bolan all had a wealth of stunners

Stones mightve had the best year but they were doing their own thing

better get ready for another peak load of 1973 prog soon anyway

but Neu and Faust weren't on fire to you in 1972? popol vuh album for 72 doesnt count as krautrock at all i guess though. amon duul and guru guru albums also sinking in as solid for me.

crine at being eternally filtered by the mighty Purple i think the live album is overrated tho theres a few moments of extended parts where theyre literally not even really doing anything, its not like crazy jams or anything just gets boring at a few times. i prefer studio versions overall tho i do respect the live heaviness. i think i probably already said that exact same thing in the thread months ago but whatever

Yeah idk Kraftwerk, Faust, Neu and Amon Duul all had good not great work this year imo. No big standouts like the other years.

Haven't heard Guru Guru

theyre pretty cool, definitely on the jammiest side of krautrock so beware

yeah i think of the similarity every time i hear but apparently Brain Damage was (mostly) written already during the Meddle sessions era in 1971 so its just a spooky coincidence

I would say the South American rock scene was definitely one of the best things going this year. Tropicalia and Brazilian bands were well established but you also had new Chilean goat Los Jaivas joining legend Victor Jara and Inti Illimani. Pescado Rabioso did some top tier work and he probably wasn't the only Argentinian.

Few songs into the album I like it
