Good Thoughts Bad Thoughts by Funkadelic? easily my most played song of '74

idk you have Neil, Eno, Wyatt, P-Funk, Gene Clark all peaking hard its gonna be tough

rip Phil Lesh groovy king

Well you're not on 1974 yet are you

deceased rats unable to converse

finally got to listen to my Mott and Santana vinyl last night

who the f*** are these new trash vocalists in Santana and why did Mott use fking All The Way From Memphis and Honaloochie Boogie as singles likes it's 1956 when Violence and Hymn For The Dudes were right there

man I love a good power ballad

Yeah I love this one.

You'd think the label would be all over pushing a song like this as a single after stairway to heaven

There’s a song from next year I found that I’m excited to post that’s kinda like the ideal version of this kind of thing. It’s like the best song in this era Hoople or Bowie never did.

I've heard the name Paul Buckmaster before but I'm ngl I didn't realize till last night he was the one that did the string arrangements for Bowie's Space Oddity, Bee Gees Odessa, Stones Sway and Moonlight Mile, Eltons Your Song and Tiny Dancer, Cohen's Songs Of Love and Hate, Nillson Schmillson, Carly Simons Your So Vain etc elite

Ngl I'm not the biggest Hoople fan, they did too much old school rock and roll boogie woogie but with none of the panache of Bowie, Roxy, Bolan or Stones.

This cover they did in '71 however is an insanely rousing mastapiece

yeah none of the following Santana vocalists were as good after Gregg Rolie left are as good. I think the album is still really good though just not on the level of the first 4 classic run

you get on the Carlos Santana + John McLaughlin collab album for 1973 though? and on that note the Mahavishnu Orchestra album from this year is a stone cold jazz fusion classic

Yeah seems the be the concesus about Rolie tragic

And yeah the John McLaughlin album is awesome and had me expecting another Caravanserai with Welcome

we're only just now discussing 1973? im gonna be retired by the time we hit 2008

We already lived through 2008 and it wasn't nearly as jam packed with interesting music as 1973

Well thankfully the song I’m talking about isn’t by them.

No I get that it just seemed like you were putting Hoople on a pedestal with Bowie and above Roxy etc and I don't think they're that elite. The three highlights of this album (The third being that long ass song on side 2) definitely make it their strongest one yet though.

@Fella I keep trying to get your thoughts on these

I just added both. Next time I’m out listening to music, they’ll be a priority. I’ll get back to you.

That Steeleye Span album is the best uk folk rock album I've ever heard tbh

Better than any Fairport album after they transition from light psych to pure folk @RVI

Where's the French bops my francophilian @DELON

I checked out Serge's album and am pretty sure he was singing about s*** and piss and t*** and d*** most of the time

I didn’t get much out of the first one. The second was gorgeous.

Magma

I mean more like pop than f*** your own face prog
