I thought DIY was part of it

Kinks invented everything

never seen Linda before

Happy 80th birthday king Neil many contenders for SOTY

legendary footage of Joni mesmerizing not only Dylan but also Gordon Lightfoot and Roger McGuinn

crazy how close Desire came to coming out this year as well as BOTT missed it by a week

and the basement tapes

you know better than anyone that I consider that a 1967 album lol

decided I will consider Tonights The Night a '75 album though cause it was close enough to not be jarring, sonically

no it's 1975

this is AOTY

I'm not one of his acolytes but was surprised to see even Scaruffi thought so

yup. His picks become more obscure during the mid 80s. just wish he would have put one more song of the album on the best songs list but whatever. It's his list.

Definitely one of Neil's most consistently great and immersive albums imo. Relistened to it a while back and wow i don't see anything topping it for me either. Such a dizzy and heartwrenching record. Especially towards the end.

I wasn’t anywhere near as high on this album as their one from 74, but there’s still some great stuff on this.

My favorite from that record, but I think I’m more of a Zuma guy overall.

Check out that Ian Hunter album. I gotta keep spreading the gospel lol.

made the gf a cd of '74-'75 highlights from female artists and she just got home and said Black Flame by Renaissance was the highlight and blew her away

Zuma has some higher highs in Danger Bird and Cortez but overall im definitely a TTN guy

@Elric yeah Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho - Paêbirú

is the psych opus of the year strongly recommend a digestion

I just wish we had some footage like this for all the goats of each year

Renaissance put out arguably their biggest classic this year

realized I havent even queued it up yet when the gf came home raving about Black Flame earlier
you mean album or song?

their most celebrated album

hope the 24-minute track doesnt scare you off. they definitely upped the medieval/classic vibes on this one

last i listened I felt like Ashes Are Burning, Turn of the Cards and Scheherazade were about equal tbh maybe Turn of the Cards my fav
