1973: Your Favourite Album

"Dark Side of the Moon" for me.

 

Other - A Passion Play by Jethro Tull. Harrison, Lennon and Cooper are other strong candidates.

 

Rhymin' Simon had Paul at the top of his game so gets my vote . And gotta give an hon. mention to Artie's Angel Clare cos I'm sure no-one else will.

Oh and Cat Stevens Foreigner too.

 

Toughest poll EVER. The tracks of my years. Own 93% of those listed. However, missing is THE album of '73 and probably the act I've spent most money on through the decades. I humbly offer this, a glaring omission:

 

Out of the ones listed above, I picked "Innervisions" by Stevie Wonder. "Ship Ahoy" by The O'Jays was a close contender, though.

But your list should've included "Desperado" by The Eagles, and "For Everyman" by Jackson Browne.

 

All these:
Derek & The Dominoes In Concert
Raw Power
Billion Dollar Babies
Dixie Chicken
Solid Air
Dark SIde Of The Moon
Houses of the Holy
Aladdin Sane
Pin Ups
Catch a Fire
Tres Hombres
The New York Dolls
Berlin
Countdown to Ecstasy
(Pronounced 'lĕh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd)
Innervisions
Let's Get It On
Goats Head Soup
Brothers and Sisters
Over-Nite Sensation
Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert
Time Fades Away
Wake of the Flood
Inside Out
Spectrum
Next (The Sensational Alex Harvey Band)

 

It's Innervisions for me!

 

Quadrophenia Maybe the Who's best

 

In the poll of 1972 I voted for 'Electric Warrior' of T. Rex; a real difficult choice with another favourite of mine, Lou Reed (and his 'Transforner'), in the same poll. Because of my earlier choice I have to compensate this time by voting for Reed's 'Berlin' as favourite album of 1973.

(and now I'm feeling myself guilty for not voting for Bowie's 'Alladin Sane', hope there will be another polls for 1974 or 1975 for being able that time to vote for Bowie; I hate these one-choice-polls!)

 

Sure "Angel Clare" is a very good one, skillful production by Artie and Roy Halee and terrific songs: "All I Know", "Another Lullaby" or "Travelling Boy".

 

A lot of good ones, i went with ''Dark Side Of The Moon''.

 

toss up for me between DSOM and Quadro.
I went with DSOM. PF was still on an uphill path then.

 

Innervisions - Stevie Wonder
Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye
The Payback - James Brown
3+3 - Isley Brothers
Masterpiece - Temptations

 

Dark Side or Quadrophenia? Lots of inner turmoil but I guess it'll have to be DSOM.

 

+1

 

Raw Power.

 

"Dark Side", then "Raw Power" and the first New York Dolls album. Pretty good year!

 

Again, going into bat for T.Rex with Tanx. With Zep's Houses of the Holy a close second......

 

1. Stevie Wonder: Innervisions
2. The Who: Quadrophenia
3. Steely Dan: Countdown to Ecstasy
4. Mott the Hoople: Mott
5. Led Zeppelin: Houses of the Holy
6. David Bowie: Aladdin Sane
7. Neil Young: Time Fades Away
8. Paul McCartney and Wings: Band on the Run
9. Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
10. Kool and the Gang: Wild and Peaceful
11. ZZ Top: Tres Hombres
12. Bruce Springsteen: The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle
13. Al Green: Call Me
14. Sly and the Family Stone: Fresh
15. Bryan Ferry: These Foolish Things
16. Paul Simon: There Goes Rhymin’ Simon
17. Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon
18. Iggy and the Stooges: Raw Power
19. Tower of Power: Tower of Power
20. Blue Oyster Cult: Tyranny and Mutation

 

'Innervisions'. 'Catch A Fire' should be on the list though!

 

Sheet man, another head dazzler. Decisions decisions.

 

David Bowie's biggest selling album in America.

 

Dark Side of the Moon

But I also have a very soft spot for Mind Games.

 

anything between 1970-75 is going to be a tough poll. Theses lists are actually difficult to make since half of the good stuff will not fit in 25 spaces on the poll. I have more respect for those that do create these things having tried one out myself. Good job Dandelion1967.

My pick went to Aladdin Sane. I probably played that vinyl more than any record back in the day. It is not my favorite though. It's a close second to A Passion Play. Tull's creepiest and finest. A third pick is to Dark Side of the Moon and fourth to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. What is missing, I'm sure due to lack of space by the OP, is Lynyrd Skynyrd (self-titled album). This one needs to be on there with tunes such as: Freebird, Gimmie Three Steps, Tuesday's Gone, and Simple Man.
