by grahamkit 
In my sixties now, but I still look out for new albums and buy at least 10 a year. The best music is that which you want to play again and again. These do it for me.

Incendiary and original. Bought it on its release in 1975 and though its impact has softened, it still stands as a classic.

How can a band be simultaneously so loose and so tight. Lacks killer songs, but that's cos none stand out in an album full of quality.
