[Music] 1971, a year without parallel.

[zefarelly]

In my humble 1970 trumps 1971 for albums with unimaginative titles

Paul Macartney - Paul Macartney
John Lennon - John Lennon
Elton John - Elton John
Black Sabbeth- Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin 3
Chicago - Chicago


But it was also the year that these were released

George Harrison - All things must pass
Simon and Garfunkel- Bridge over troubled waters
Black Sabbath- Paranoid
Neil Young - After the gold rush
Jimmy Hendrix - Band of the Gypsys
The Who - Live at Leeds
The Velvet Underground - Loaded
Grateful Dead - American Beauty
Santana - Abraxsas
The Doors - Morrison Hotel
Deep Purple - In Rock
Crosby Stills and Nash - Deja vu
Bob Dylan - Self Portrait
The Beach Boys - Sunflower
Rod Stewart - Tumble Weed Alley
The Moody Blues - A question of Balance
Joe Cocker - mad Dogs and Englishmen
Derek and the Dominoes - Layla
RandyNewman - 12 Songs
The Kinks - Lola verses Power man

The first Parliament album ( Osmium) is fantastic . . . . and Standing on the verge of getting it on is also great.

1971 was the year I left Brighton & England after finally falling in love with one of the many Scandinavian girls that came over to learn english, so in Novemeber I packed my rucksack and took the train & ferry to Copenhagen - after a summer working on the Dodgems & Ghost Train on the Palace Pier. I remember buying Carole Kings Tapestry album and my boss on the Dodgem's demanding to play it all the time on the terrible LP player we had - still have the LP what with its scratches & oil marks....
