Another great year for music, almost as good as 1971. Judging from what is released today, it seems like a completely different era.
Oh that's right,. . . . it was!

'75 is one of my least favorite years in rock.
The next year it all changed thank goodness: Ramones, Modern Lovers, Sex Pistols, and the British punk explosion

 

Yes it was.

My favorite period of music is 1970-1975

 

No love for Reggae?

1) Burning Spear-Marcus Garvey.
2) Earth Wind and Fire - Gratitude.
3) Mothership Connection
4) Neil - Tonight's the Night
5) Physical Graffiti
6) Wish you were Here
7) Patti Smith -Horses
8) Toys in the Attic
9) Blood on the Tracks
10) EWF - That's the way of the world.

Glorious year for music.
