You'll want to check my albums' ballots for some of these ;)

I've listened to the entire Fun House sessions just to confirm that it's a total snooze. Don't waste your time, kids!
― But people get sick on earth in their human form (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 February 2019 17:38 (five years ago) link
Fun House would be the clear + easy winner when plopped amongst many other random conglomerations of albums but it's in for brutal fight in this particular poll.

Col. Poo has already mentioned most of my 1970 favourites (Can, Beefheart, Deep Purple, Mutantes) but there are still a couple there yet untold:
Randy Holden - Population IITwink - Think PinkJames Gang - Rides Again
― aquaman goes to college (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 7 February 2019 17:41 (five years ago) link
Have not heard at least 15 of these.
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
just over
Freddie Hubbard - Red Clay

I was 11 and 12 years old in 1970, and couldn't afford many albums. Although I had friends who owned Zep, Sabbath, Hendrix, Santana, etc. I only ever had one on this list and played it to death: CCR.

Been listening to my 'best of 1970' playlist throughout the morning. Yeah, I could probably be satisfied with just this set of songs for a solid year or so.
― But people get sick on earth in their human form (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 February 2019 18:13 (five years ago) link
HOLY SHIT, I just realized Plastic Ono Band (Yoko's volume is what I'm specifically referring to here) is 1970, as well!

Man, it's been a minute since I listened to Curtis, forgot how hard it cooks.
This poll is hard, possibly too hard.
― But people get sick on earth in their human form (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 February 2019 20:11 (five years ago) link
XXXpost: Bitches Brew falls far short of Silent Way for me. But as for CCR, those first few are like Ramones, all identically solid. Loaded is lovely, but is missing most of what I want from the Velvets.

yes curtis is a perfect album. both it and fun house are probably on my short short list of favorite albums, but i was in a down-and-dirty fun house mood this morning and voted for it.

As I progress through my playlist I'm reminded that not only was this an era of absolutely epochal albums but also of so many deliciously frothy AM gold confections.
Seriously, though, mainlining this stuff is...a little overwhelming. Like it's almost too good to take in all at once.
― But people get sick on earth in their human form (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 February 2019 20:42 (five years ago) link
When I was 1st getting into that era of Miles, all you heard about was Bitches Brew. Could be wrong but feel like I just stumbled onto Silent Way on my own. Guess it's generational change in tastes/values from Boomer rockers to Gen X/Millenials?
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 7 February 2019 21:00 (five years ago) link
It does seem that Bitches Brew has, like Sgt. Peppers, been brought down a notch to part of a great run rather than a unique breakthrough.

yes, lets see what happened from a few years back pfunkboy (BTW, this place misses you!):

Paranoid FTW.
― Bee OK, Friday, 8 February 2019 00:44 (five years ago) link
This was a little easier than the 1969 poll. Loaded is the pop art art pop peak, even without the outcat ventures of other VU LPs (just as satisfying in its way).

Fat Albert Rotunda is '69, I believe.
Gil Scott-Heron's debut was in '70. Not as good as what came after but pretty damn noteworthy nonetheless.

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath,Black Sabbath - Paranoid
If you're gonna invent heavy metal, may as well put out a second album the same year to show everyone you mean business.
Funkadelic - Free Your Mind... and Your Ass Will FollowFunkadelic - FunkadelicParliament - Osmium
Meanwhile, George Clinton says "Two albums? Weak sauce, Tony..."
And then there's these:
Kraftwerk - KraftwerkLed Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IIIMC5 - Back In The UsaMiles Davis - Bitches BrewNeil Young - After the Gold RushPink Floyd - Atom Heart MotherSyd Barrett - The Madcap LaughsThe Stooges - Fun HouseThe Velvet Underground - Loaded
This is a tough choice. I am going to go with Paranoid for the simple reason I likely played it more than any of the other albums.

Fairport, "Full House" + Steeleye, "Hark! the Village Wait" btw... oh and "Nilsson Sings Newman" and "12 Songs" by Randy Newman.
