    Consider my 1955-1973 playlists to be my greatest recs

    Have you read Bob Dylan's book, Chronicle? It's amazing

    I was proud to be the one to turn you on to Songs Of Love & Hate but I haven't heard what you think of New Skin @Fella

    I think it's arguably his best

    I mean it’s got Chelsea Hotel 2

    part 2 of Brazil post, now focusing on the MPB adjacent world

    unreal Jorge Ben album that I think im picking for my overall AOTY. fusion of MPB/samba with some western rock, funk, soul influences is basically perfect. really has a balance of everything, sometimes big arrangements, simple grooves, lush harmonies, stripped back instruments when needed

    Elis Regina & Antônio Carlos Jobim collab album is widely regarded as one of the big classics of the era. 2 legends combining even though bossa nova wasnt much in style anymore

    Ivan Lins album has some real stunners

    Novos Baianos album not amazing like their last 2 but still very worth checking

    I gotta listen to this Marcos Valle album some more, its his last one before taking a 7 year break

    no Milton Nascimento album but he does have a highly regarded live album backed by Som Imaginario

    too much potency out of brazil as to be expected

    here is some more of the traditional sounds. Mostly just samba. Lot of the older generation legends experiencing career renaissances due to overall revival and rediscovery of many types of brazilian music all over the country, both rural and urban

    Cartola is a contender for best debut album of the year overall. kinda cheating since he was 66 years old and was already one of the key founding figures in samba during the early days. but this late revival era in the 70s was huge for his legacy. He was poor and working as a janitor or something when he was rediscovered by someone and brought back into the music scene. stunningly great artist

    Going through each year since rock and soul's big bang to debate who was running s*** and post other highlights, performances and interesting developments. Mainly focused on the pop structured genres but anything you wanna pull up with is fine. Currently looking at 1974.

    Spotify playlists for each year here; https://open.spotify.com/user/btjdaxj7dqb0d0ysfkwsfgd7d?si=0f2c5d2c7390434a

    Sounding like the best Mutantes album since 1968 pretty good prog

    Id just say best since 1970 but yeah i found it to be solid too. also interesting since Sérgio Dias is the last remaining of those true original mutantes and its just him with 3 other new guys calling themselves mutantes

    looks like former member Arnaldo Baptista dropped a classic this year called Loki after leaving. I gotta check it out

    i havent heard these in full yet but they were mentioned in the brazilian music book i read last year

    this one seems to be a fusion of Northeastern styles with folk and psych rock

    and this one is straight up northeastern styles like baião, pretty wild how different this stuff sounds compared to samba and those related iconic more urban styles

    and if youre wanting to go even deeper, looks like significant albums also from Rita Lee, Secos & Molhados, Belchior, Raul Seixas, Eva, Gal Costa, Jards Macalé, Elza Soares, Novos Baianos

    Probably will end up hearing a lot of those this year or in the coming months

    Nascimento is the only one i'm kinda familiar with, will check out that live album

  • @RVI that A Tábua de Esmeralda album is nice

  • Elric

    I've heard this take and its insane. If anything this is one of the best years.

    It’s definitely one of my favorites at this point. All the stuff I like has killer releases this year. From weird art rock and singer/songwriters to glam and power pop. I’m not a prog guy and I only dabble in soul, but it’s an obviously great year for both of those genres.

  • Has to be Diamond Dogs by Bowie or Stone cold crazy by Queen imo , hm to Dancing Machine by the Jackson 5 though
