I like the first solo too. Slash >>
It’s just the entire second half gets a lot more real

Appetite is a masterpiece imo. Loads of classics and even the weaker tracks bang. Use Your Illusion is too long and should have Been one album but there are also plenty of fantastic tracks on there.

Nah not as club footed and overplayed imo

I like Mr brownstone or whatever

I will not be giving a fair shake to AC/DC or Guns N Roses. Sorry.

That’s not a hit single though

that explains it

what about Van Halen

I’m more open to that but I hate David Lee Roth.

I only know the first album but its an undeniable hard rock opus. alot like Kiss with some flashier guitar. I dont care for DLR either but the music has a ton of swagger.

@Elric This isn’t related to any songs from 74, but I just somehow discovered this masterpiece was a Gene Clark song.

I had only heard of it from the excellent Velvet Crush record Teenage Symphonies to God, which at the time I thought was an original. When we get to 1994 by the time I’m 40 years old, that album is gonna get a lot of picks for this.

man this is alot more stately and earnest than i expected from these guys

One of their best. It’s the song both the Melvin’s and Dinosaur Jr covered.

yeah I only knew about the Replacements cover but thats cool

whew yeah thats a gem. I have it as a bonus track on The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark.

I didnt expect it but man that Roadmaster marination just made my Gene love even deeper hes probably in my top 5 now

I’m more of a Roy Wood guy, but I’m looking forward to 75 cause I’m getting a little more Jeff Lynne pilled lately and I think they both put out some really gorgeous music that year.

@Elric what page did yall start '74?

ktt2.com/best-songs-of-every-year-taking-votes-for-56-80474/371

ok im not about to look thru all 35 pages yet but ill throw a few select highlights for me

Bowie and Queen could also have spots on here too they had some solid stuff that year

I’ve been listening to a lot of Roxy Music lately and they’re easily one of my favorite bands of the 70’s and I think Bryan Ferry is a genius, but I still struggle to get what all the For Your Pleasure fans are on about. Eno is great at bringing greatness out of a good band, but he sometimes sabotages the instincts of one that’s already great. In Every Dream Home a Heartache is brilliant tho.

Gordon Lightfoot with two bangers

Nico's album is pretty great. @Elric already mentioned the The End cover but I'd also highlight these two songs

the last one might be among my favorite Nico songs

Wow Preservation Act 2 really is pretty bad. Of the 21 tracks, I only care for When a Solution Comes and the two duets. He’s Evil is alright. I like that since Lola they’ve shifted slightly into a glammy direction, but the albums are spotty.

yeah apparently Ray bit off way more than he could chew and it shows

Solution Comes, Mirror Of Love, Nobody Gives and Flash's Confession had potential but he got too busy with the arrangements.

Strictly Confidential goes extremely hard. Whole album is great surprised you dont hear it.
