I may have been tempted to vote for #1 record if not because as Good as it is, radio city just smokes it
(But yes, there's a pretty good chance I'll vote Radio City in the 1974 poll too.)

Given my vote to Ethiopian Knights
Not liking Close to the Edge is ridiculous.from that year in Brazil, I'll also mention the Tom Zé s/t, which I prefer to his later classics.

This is Hosianna Mantra right now. Foxtrot, Ege Bamyasi, Pink Moon are also very important.

And the Ash Ra album. Germany owned this year.

Don’t be shy, just vote Vol 4 and get it over with

Wishbone Ash are pretty important too in the development of heavy metal with their twin guitar leads that pretty much every 70s metal band inc Judas Priest say influenced them.

Went with Exile on Main St because you hipsters are bound to underrate it.

Exile is good but I voted for Sticky Fingers (which I prefer anyway) in the last poll so I’m going to follow my heart and vote for Argus.

It was the Neu! debut for me but it wasn't a quick decision. 73 and 74 choices are going to be a bitch.

I hope herbie escapes the 0 votes this time but If anyone hasn't heard the brilliant McCoy Tyner album then you really really must. Even deej might agree!

Lots of mindblowingly great albums on this list, but only Pink Moon is perfect.

I had to go with Exile. Tough one. 7 or 8 strong contenders from this year

On a cold winter’s night, world weary rock gods find a clearing in the woodsso as to build a fire and rest and drink some wine. They drink and smoke andunfold stories of their long journey of conquests and mishaps.

It's not wholly 'perfect' but three or four brilliant songs is enough so going with my first thought Wolf City, also because it probably won't get too many votes in this grouping.

Of the ones that didn't get a vote, I really love the Charles Mingus and the Allman Brothers.
― nicky lo-fi, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 01:30 (five years ago) link
I have that Chick Corea album. It's pretty good too.

Listening to Dr. John's Gumbo today, and it occurred to me that I've listened to that more than anything on this list, including the Roxy Music album I voted for.

Earl, How do you track your listening? Assume if it’s back to 1996 it’s not computer plays tracked by software.

I have been keeping a couple of Excel spreadsheets and an Access database I built years ago. Same setup tracks my Cds and LPs. It started on an old Windows 3.1 box.
