    1974 - A strong Prog presence and Queen scores twice on the first page!

    Prog dominated with 4 of the top 5 spots, but Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Brian Eno and a double hit of Queen add some diversity. I scored well on the Top 10, but I had to go deeper this year to find many others I own. My second fave album of the year (Harmonium - S/T Debut) was ranked at #134, which isn't surprising to me.

      Me thinks you probably meant to post that in one of the video threads.

      Haven't come across a year like that yet, but it's possible as the years go by!

      Pretty good, 8 of the top 10. Never heard of the other two.

      Wipeout after that. 6/15.

      Two things. As a Bowie fan, was somewhat disappointed by Diamond Dogs. One of those albums where Bowie was trying to reinvent himself.

      Two, never got Kraftwerk. My audiobuddy Bob Reina loved Kraftwerk and egged me on to get their albums. They sit here and probably haven't played them in at least 15 years.

      Lot of unappreciated albums that year including Natty Dread, Walls and Bridges, It's Only Rock n Roll (with a Stones anthem on it), Rock and Roll Animal (one of my all time favorite albums-Reed live at his best glam rock on Sweet Jane and Heroin!) and 461 Ocean Blvd.
