When I saw them at The Ricoh Arena a few years ago they played the whole of the album as part of the concert - new album out imminently - he undoubtedly still has ‘it’ but for me BTR evokes so many memories of an era it’s my fave.

Always had a bit of a thing for The Myths And Legends of King Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table by Rik Wakeman - might not be the best album of the 70s, but it was formative for me and my taste in keyboard/synthesized music.

And without listing them all - Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield.
Ignoring 'disco', it was a great decade.

As soon as I'd finished my previous list I immediately thought of Something/Anything, Pink Flag and Big Star's Radio City.
I'd also add David Ackle's American Gothic to my list. And Ieft out anything by Parliament/Funkadelic. Just how many great records were there?
Critics rave about Steely Dan. I've got mates who rave about Steely Dan but I've never understood the hype.
