Eat A Peach 

 The Allman Brothers Band

Produced by Tom Dowd. What should have been the grand entrance of The Allman Brothers Band as superstars became a sad monument to Brother Duane. He died while the album was being recorded, and while his guitar can be heard on several tracks, it's his spirit that allows the album to be a triumph. The band carried on for him, and the result is a beautiful headstone for one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Eat A Peach is a great, emotional album, and the pinnacle of what Southern rock was meant to be. [First added to this chart: 04/11/2012]

Harvest

Produced by Neil Young, Elliot Mazer, Henry Lewy & Jack Nitzsche. Say what you will about Harvest. "It's too pop". "It's too mellow". I say pah. Harvest is stunning and beautiful. Just because it has "Heart Of Gold" and "Old Man", and just because you've heard them a million times doesn't mean they are bad. Neil has made several masterpieces, and this is most definitely one of them. Not a weak track...not even the ones buried in strings. Ten tracks of perfection from one of the best of all time.

Rock Of Ages (The Band In Concert) 
Live

 The Band

Buy album

Produced by The Band. For this 1971 concert in New York, The Band found themselves paired with a horn section for the very first time. The results are an even more full sound, and an excellent show captured on album to go back and savor over and over. Everyone is in excellent form...the vocals are perfect, as always, and the instrumental interplay is at its best. Better than most live albums in an era of live albums, Rock Of Ages collects their best songs in a powerful live setting. [First added to this chart: 04/11/2012]

Good chart, even though I would have liked to see Can somewhere, also as a fan of Italian music I would have included a few Italian albums it being undoubtedly the best year ever for Italian music.
