He was wrong. The Move rules. There’s a reason my boys the Lemon Twigs are Roy Wood stans.

Edit: I’ve heard them mention him multiple times in interviews, but was really happy to discover this…

“Brian cited Roy Wood's mid-1970s albums Boulders and Mustard as inspiration to perform his own horn and string arrangements on A Dream Is All We Know.”

I recently realized Slade had another album from this year. It’s not as consistent and doesn’t have as high of highs as Slade in Flame, but damn are they never not impressive. Even the b-sides are stellar.

70’s might be the worst decade for stylish male haircuts. Look at these freaks.

I jumped ahead to 75 to revisit Toys in The Attic and I’m finding that I’m honestly really not that into any of their albums. There’s around 4 songs that stick with me. You See Me Crying might be my favorite Aerosmith song in general, but the overall mid 70’s hard rock sound is just rarely appealing to me. It feels like so much personality or unique aesthetic qualities (that you’ll find in any other decade or subgenre) got sanded off of core mainstream rock by then. It’s all about swagger.

transcendent spiritual roots reggae that somehow doesnt employ any of the usual rhythms you associate with the genre. almost feels more like some later Motown funk grooves from Whats Going On and Norman Whitfields work with The Temps now that I think about it. minus the strings.

@op i put you onto Bedemon already some time ago right? forgot if i posted the 1973 ones from last year but these are from 1974 as are most of the archival album songs

only thing heavier than this at this point was some Sabbath songs

also closely associated and much more famous doom band Pentagram released this amazing one in 1974. like half the same members as Bedemon or something. also a cool Stones cover

cool how you can directly see the line from 60s US garage-psych to doom metal with this stuff. they really might be the first true USA metal band, complete with the darkness and satanism in the aesthetics

Rocks is the only amazing one for me. total hard rock masterpiece

I’ll give that one a try. The straight forward hard rock of it all probably is why I’ve been hesitant. I tend to like when they diverge a little from their core sound. Songs like Kings & Queens and Remember (Walking In The Sand) always stuck out to me.

you might at least like a few songs from it then like the closer
