1970 rivals 1971 and 1967 for music

An unfortunate consequence of the Covid pandemic is that it minimized
the 50th anniverary of 1970. Here's a few albums that were released that year:

The Who - Live at Leeds
Deep Purple - In Rock
The Doors - Morrison Hotel
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Jethro Tull - Benefit
Rolling Stones - Get Your Ya Yas Out
James Gang - Rides Again
Creedence - Cosmos Factory
J. Geils - self-titled
Traffic - John Barleycorn
Johnny Winter - And
Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs
Santana - Abraxas
The Stooges - Fun House
Velvet Underground - Loaded
Spirit - 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus
Delaney and Bonnie - On Tour
Van Morrison - Moondance
Led Zeppelin - III
Rod Stewart - Gasoline Alley
MC5 - Back In USA
Free - Fire and Water
Swamp Dogg - Total Destruction of Mind

plus it was a banner year for some great singles!!

 

There's great music recorded and/or released every year. In 1970 Miles Davis's Bitches Brew was released. Lee Morgan's Live at the Lighthouse was recorded. Benny Maupin plays on both, good year for him.

 

My favorite year of '60's & '70s culture.

 

Still 1967 and 1971 for me

 

Don't forget yer Krautrock. Amon Duul 2 - Yeti for instance.

 

My favorite time period for music is about 1967 to 1972. So much magical stuff released (or recorded) in that time frame. Push comes to shove, for a decade, I'd go 1966 to 1976.

 

THAT WAS A GREAT YEAR...So I'd say YES!

 

I bet several forum members are already collecting money to pay for the hit squad that will exterminate the OP for not mentioning Let It Be in the best albums of 1970.

 

Squeeze in 1965- 1977

 

Here in the UK, when Argos finally have a sale on for their time machines that's the year I'm heading back to...
