I may have said this before in these forums, but that album is not only musically interesting to a pretty much stellar level, it's damn near ASMR for me. First time I heard it, it helped my hangover big time :lol:

Right on, interesting cure for that 🤣

It is one of a handful of albums that marked a major paradigm shift for me in how I viewed and thought about great art. A real turning point in how I listened to and evaluated music -- the limits of expression and profundity that an artist could reach and that I could assimilate.

Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom at the top of the list. Perhaps the most deeply personal and profoundly moving work in the history of music.

Starless And Bible Black by King Crimson

Mysterious Traveller by Weather Report

Rejuvenation by The Meters

Unrest by Henry Cow

Damn Right I Am Somebody by The J.B.'s

Rufusized by Rufus & Chaka Khan

I found 1976 and, for my taste, 1979, harder years to come up with favorite albums. 1973-75 are great years for funk and 70s soul.

Um wtf?! Why is no mentioning this album? Sure, you’ve got ... Warm Jets but where’s this absolute masterpiece? What?! Does everyone not like it?

Shhh, shhh, it's OK, of course people like this album. I just wanted to put some different choices on here, and I could probably replay that album in my head.

Also, it has the most explosive Eno track ever recorded on it, which I think is completely overlooked in the formation of Punk and Post Punk music. It was Proto both of those things before they were even established.

Thank you, Chief 🤡 😄

1974 wasn't the best year of the 70s, but it was a rather fun year for albums.
