yeah they Byrdsiness is uncanny. funny how such a brittle voiced frontman like McGuin could be so influential (I get why his guitar jangle was obv). I think he was probably the first hipster with those granny glasses too lol.

Listen to his song Tumbling Down. Masterpiece.

Lady Grinning Soul is the one for me atp. so elegant and sinuous stately and imperious

giving the human menagerie a spin rn off the track you posted

did y'all already put this together? @Fella

Looking forward to 74. Mick Ronson, Mott, and Slade have all time songs for me that year.

I hadn’t, but that’s cool.

"aged 12, Harley was introduced to the poetry of T. S. Eliot and D. H. Lawrence, the prose of John Steinbeck, Virginia Woolf and Ernest Hemingway, and the music of Bob Dylan, which pointed him to future careers involving words and music"

Gene Clark, Brian Eno and Neil Young alone

cool im not the only dummy lol

Sandy Denny and Jackson Browne have really great albums that year too. Not to mention Radio City by my boys. It’s a really underrated year.

Can’t tell what this means lol

watched a movie than ended with a T.H. Lawrence quote this morning Hostiles

it means I was amused. pretty grandiose.

@Fella

used to watch that with my pops

used to watch westerns with my pops as well

I miss him

we used to smoke and watch Clint flicks

nice never heard that Sandy. did you try and keep Steeleye Span in rotation? I like them at least as much as Fairport now

crazy raver

same and I grew up on a farm so the cowboy vibe was legit

his favourite was Tombstone. mine are Searchers and Once Upon A Time In The West. we used to argue endlessly about it.

Once Upon a Time

Tombstone was a big hit with him as well

even aside from the iconic performances it does have an incredible momentum to it. id give it top 20 probably.

great cast as well

this time of the year pairs so well with westerns for me
