Good list. I started school in 1975 so hearing the hits of that year takes me back to a time when I was slowly becoming more aware of music. My top 10 studio albums are: 1 TNT - AC/DC 2 Dressed to Kill - Kiss 3 Sabotage - Black Sabbath 4 Ego Is Not a Dirty Word - Skyhooks 5 Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow - Rainbow 6 Young Americans - David Bowie 7 Promised Land - Elvis Presley 8 Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin 9 Bolan’s Zip Gun - T Rex 10 High Voltage (Aus ver) - AC/DC Plus Kiss Alive! and Bob Marley Live. Two albums I remember my sisters having were Atlantic Crossing and Welcome to My Nightmare. I would like to hear those again.
Still trying to figure out favourite 50 albums from 1973, so I'm doing a quick google of 1975 albums to see what I've heard so far and really like. In no particular order: (1) Black Sabbath - Sabotage, (2) Moxy - self titled, (3) Joni Mitchell - Hissing Of Summer Lawns, (4) Rainbow - Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, (5) Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time, (6) Scorpions - In Trance, (7) Steve Hackett - Voyage Of The Acolyte, (8) Renaissance - Scheherazade And Other Stories, (9) ELO - Face The Music, (10) Tangerine Dream - Rubycon.
For me, 1. Styx - Equinox, 2. Kansas - Masque, 3. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, 4. Ambrosia - S/T, 5. Sweet - Desolation Boulevard (U.S. version) 6. Poco - Head Over Heals, 7. Queen - A Night At The Opera, 8. Angel - S/T, 9.Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti, 10. Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic. HM; 10cc _ The Original Soundtrack & Chicago - VIII
My top album of 1975 is a tie between Patti Smith’s Horses and Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run. Horses is the first real punk rock record, but Born to Run is one of my ten favorite records ever. It’s so anthemic and uplifting while still showing all the hardships of life!
My 1975 top 10: 1) Neil Young - Tonight's the Night 2) Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All 3) Rush - Fly by Night 4) Neil Young - Zuma 5) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 6) Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti 7) Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic 8) Brian Eno - Another Green World 9) Queen - A Night at the Opera 10) Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks

I graduated HS in 75', life was soooo much simpler then. GFunkRR, Marshal Tucker Band, Allman Brothers, Led Z., Triumpherat, ZZ Top, Leonard Skinnard......wow, & driving in my 72 VW with an 8 track stereo, I was cookin' it:) Aloha from Maui
Here's my top 10 most beloved albums of the albums I know from that year: 10. Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow 9. KISS - Dressed To Kill 8. Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic 7. Deep Purple - Come Taste The Band 6. Patti Smith - Horses 5. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 4. Wings - Venus & Mars 3. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffitti 2. Sparks - Indiscreet 1. Camel - The Snow Goose
My 10 favourite albums of 1975 (only in english and in alphabetical order) : Genesis - A Trick Of The Tail Gentle Giant - Free Hand Hackett, Steve - Voyage of The Acolyte Hayward, Justin, & John Lodge - Blue Jays McCartney, Paul - Venus And Mars Queen - A Night At The Opera Renaissance - Scheherazade And Others Stories Stylistics - Thank You Baby Styx - Equinox Vannelli, Gino - Storm At Sunup (Canadian)
Led Zeppelin was the clear choice for that year. Pretty much each song had its own sound and theme making it a great collection of the band's creative output. Especially Bonham's beats. Favorites off this album are the Rover, Houses of the Holy, Wonton Song, Sick Again
My favorite from 1975 is probably Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy from Elton John. A wonderful concept album about he and Bernie Taupin’s early years of their songwriting partnership. You can tell a lot of emotion and dedication went into every song on that album. Besides that another favorite from 1975 would of course be Wish You Were Here from Pink Floyd. My third favorite would be Blood On The Tracks from Bob Dylan
Crap! Missed this one... big year for me it seems. Great list on your side. Some essential crossover with mine in a couple of places. 1. Another Green World - Eno 2. Face the Music - ELO 3. Wish You Were Here - Floyd 4. Physical Graffiti - Zeppelin 5. Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac (who woulda thunk) 6. Hair of the Dog - Nazareth 7. One of These Nights - Eagles 8. Captain Fantastic - Elton 9. Born to Run - Springsteen 10. T.N.T - A.C.D.C.
10. Zappa / Beefheart / Mothers - Bongo Fury 9. Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks 8. David Bowie - Young Americans 7. Van Der Graaf Generator - Godbluff 6. Roy Wood - Mustard 5. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti 4. John Cale - Helen of Troy 3. Brian Eno - Another Green World 2. Sparks - Indiscreet 1. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here At least for today. At first I included Coney Island Baby but then (being surprised not to see it in your list) looking on the Internet I saw that it was more often attributed to 1976 so it would probably be more correct to put it there (would be #7 in 1975).
I've enjoyed this series. Two of my all-time favorite albums come from 1975 in Dylan's Blood On The Tracks and Springsteen's Born To Run although they were on the outskirts of your list. I did like the Led Zeppelin pick. Young Americans and Wish You Were Here would probably make my top ten.
My 10 10. Aerosmith "Toys In The Attic" 9. Bad Company "Straight Shhoter" 8. Queen "A Night At The Opera" 7. Kiss "Kiss Alive" 6.Neil Young "Tonight's The Night" 5. Elton John "Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy" 4. ZZ Top "Fandango" 3. Bruce Springsteen "Born To Run" 2. Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" 1. Led Zeppelin "Physical Graffiti"
1975? Think I got two dozen faves, OMG (alphabetical order): 1) AMBROSIA - S/T 2) BAD CO - Straight Shooter 3) BOB DYLAN - Blood on the Tracks 4) EAGLES - One of These Nights 5) ELO - Face the Music 6) FLEETWOOD MAC - S/T 7) GENESIS - A Trick of the Tail 8) GEORGE HARRISON - Extra Texture 9) ELTON JOHN - Capt.

Just completed an 200+ album cleaning exercise, about half of what I own….graduated in 77 and started my career making good change…I seemed to have gone quit crazy buying albums that year. Noticed album after album from 77 doing my clean up exercise. Also realized I took pretty good care of my musical prizes. Lots of first pressing that sound. Damn good on my system today. Great memories.
Hi Larry - it's a pity that you didn't do a best 1995 - so in the meantime my personal favorite albums of 1995: 1 Till the Night Is Gone: A Tribute to Doc Pomus - Various Artists 2 For the Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson - Various Artists 3 Orange Crate Art - Brian Wilson & Van Dyke Parks 4 The Long Goodbye: Symphonic Music of Procol Harum - Procol Harum/Various/LSO/Sinfonia of London 5 I Just Wasn't Made for These Times - Brian Wilson 6 The Reunion Concerts 1994 - Colosseum 7 A Man Called Destruction - Alex Chilton 8 All That May Do My Rhyme - Roky Erickson 9 Bryndle - Bryndle 10 Lonesome Road - Chris Farlowe + 99.9°F World Tour - Making Noise (EP+) - Suzanne Vega
What a wonderful top 10. I remember the first time i heard Sabbath's Sabotage. I'd always liked Sabbath but hearing the guitar riff in Megalomania was the moment i really got Sabbath.
I'm going to cheat. These are in order though. If you have to, you can drop off everything after Fleetwood Mac. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd Rock of the Westies - Elton John Venus and Mars - Wings Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin Welcome to My Nightmare - Alice Cooper Fandango - ZZ Top Red Octopus _ Jefferson Starship Still Crazy After All These Years - Paul Simon Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac Young Americans - David Bowie Promised Land - Elvis Presley Straight Shooter - Bad Company Captain Fantastic - Elton John One of These Nights - Eagles
I don't know if I can come up with 10 but the most played albums in 1975: 1) Two Lane Highway-Pure Prairie League 2) Fandango!-ZZ Top 3) Born To Run-Springsteen 4) Bridge of Sighs-Robin Trower. These albums got heavy play in 1975,
No knocks against anything in either of your 1975 lists; all great choices. I might have included Nuthin' Fancy by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Welcome to My Nightmare by Alice Cooper and Straight Shooter by Bad Company, but this is your list, not mine. Interesting that you gave an honorable mention to Ted Nugent's solo debut. Actually, his first three solo albums (Ted Nugent, Free-For-All, Cat Scratch Fever) are all head and shoulders above any of his other stuff, including the albums with The Amboy Dukes. Plus you can include Double Live Gonzo as well. Nothing he did after that measures up, or is even close.
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Is the best double album of all times. You listen to the first two sides which are both great, then you come to the third which is awesome.. with "In the light", "Bron-Yr-Aur", "Down by the seaside" and "Ten years gone". It doesn't get better! Black Sabbath - "Sabotage" is a great album too. It is number two. Pink Floyd - "Wish you were here" is number three Ted Nugent first solo album no 4. Wings- "Venus & Mars" no 5. Dr Feelgood - "Malpractice" no 6.
thanks to you larry for introducing me to the shaggs record. They are the band that started prog punk and new wave. Many bands split up after hearing that record knowing it could never be beat including the beatles. thankyou
Was hard to boil it down to 10 but here are mine 10. Queen - A Night At the Opera 9. Supertramp - Crisis? What Crisis? 8. Neil Young - Tonight's the Night 7. Aerosmith - Toys In the Attic 6. Heart - Dreamboat Annie 5. Led Zepplin - Physical Graffiti 4. Bob Marley & the Wailers - Live! 3. Fleetwood Mac - second selftitled 2. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 1. Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run And just because I already had them ranked 13. The Band - The Basement Tapes 12. ZZ Top - Fandango! 11. Paul Simon - Crazy After All These Years And now let's see what you have.
popular albums from '95 worth a listen... Pavement - wowie zowie, Smashing Pumpkins - mellon collie..., Blur - great escape. Elliott Smith & Foo Fighters
Agree, '95 was great. I would add Björk - Post, Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill, Garbage- self-titled, No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom, Alice in Chains - self-titled, Faith No More - King For a Day... Fool For a Lifetime. We even had some classic rock artists, Neil Young released Mirror Ball with Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen released The Ghost of Tom Joad. Wowee Zowee would be one of my top choices, killer album.
Number one by a long shot would be Blood on the Tracks for me, again, top 3 favorite of all-time. I'd also have Common Sense by John Prine and Venus and Mars, which I like more than Band on the Run. Enjoyed this Larry!
Zuma - Neil Young 9.5 Tonight's The Night - Neil Young 9 Blood on the Tracks - Dylan 9 Fleetwood Mac 9 Siren - Roxy Music Katie Lied - Steely Dan 8.8 Horses - Patti Smith 8.5 Another Green World - Eno 8 Physical Graffiti Led Zep 8 Indiscreet - Sparks 8 Queen - whatever the record is .. last and least. 4
I only know like 20 albums from 1975 so I can rank half of them, in ascending order: 10 Nighthawks at the Diner Tom Waits 9 Welcome to My Nightmare Alice Cooper 8 Bongo Fury Frank Zappa 7 Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack Various 6 ABBA ABBA 5 Free Hand Gentle Giant 4 Horses Patti Smith 3 Indiscreet Sparks 2 Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd 1 Night At the Opera Queen
Venus & Mars is actually one of McCartney’s finest albums Larry! Talk about covering the bases! Rock, 30s style music, TV themes, and Ballads galore! Whew! I actually listen to it more than Band on the Run, but only because Band on the Run is almost a greatest hits album, and is more difficult to listen to as the album that was presented to us! Michael Jackson’s Thriller suffers from the same problem, in that at this point you feel like your listening to a Greatest Hits album! Poor Paul and Michael! Their albums were marred by their singles released! They probably cried all the way to the Bank!😉🤔🎧❤ Post Script: Not as many tears as Redneck Canadian mind you! That guy just raked in the dough!😉
Physical Graffitti - excellent choice for number one. Zeppelin at their peak. One album I would add to the list is Another Green World by Brian Eno. Polar opposite to Zeppelin but a real groundbreaking album in terms of production and instrumentation.
Just a top 5 for 1975 (don't care much for the rest): 5- Tabarnac - Offenback ... 4- Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin ... 3- Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen ... 2- Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd ... 1- A Night at the Opera - Queen
Physical Graffiti would arguably be the No.1 album of the 1970's.As far as ROCK is concerned.Don't think there's anything much better and diverse than that !!
Two of my favorite albums from 1975 are Grateful Dead - Blues For Allah, and Roger Daltrey - Ride A Rock Horse. Thanks for the Physical Graffiti, Venus and Mars, Wish You Were Here, and One Size Fits All, and Bongo Fury.
You've got Red Neck Canadian a little high I think Larry,it's a great album for sure but I don't know about it being in your top three,top ten maybe but definitely not top three. Bob.
Hi Larry i really love these series,some of my favorite albums from 1975 are: Queen a Njght At the opera, Led Zeppelin Physical graffiti, Golden earring switch and to the hilt, the who who by numbers,pink floyd wish you were here,Kiss alive, Jethro Tull minstrel in the gallery, 👍✌
A great list. Although A night at the opera would definately in my top10. Nice to see Golden Earring 's To the hilt in the list. One of my favorites from them (and they're from my home country)
minstrel in the gallery wish you were here one size fits all bongo fury physical graffiti born to run ritchie blackmore’s rainbow voyage to acolyte scheherazade blow by blow free hand modern times who by numbers siren crisis what crisis katy lied venus and mars fleetwood mac i loved these albums in 75 as much as i love them today.
Somehow I knew PG was going to be top of your list. Somehow you missed the Who By Numbers which was 1975. I believe the Tommy soundtrack would've been out that year as well (although I prefer the 1969 album). I don't really have a fave from that year. I know we owned Venus and Mars and A Night at the Opera and played them a lot. I guess Wings Over America was 76...
@@canadianstudmuffin It grows on you.... By now, after following your channel for a while and commenting for a while, you may detect a bit of Who bias on my part... 😁
Some other great albums for me are E.C. Was Here and There's One in Every Crowd by Eric Clapton and Rock of the Westies by Elton John. Extra Texture (Read All About It) by George Harrison, Rock 'n' Roll by John Lennon, The Who by Numbers by the Who and Crisis? What Crisis? by Supertramp are all pretty good as well.
1975 is my second favourite year, with special memories because I woke up to rock music in the autumn of this year. Here is my top 20 based on plays: 1 Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen 2 Crisis? What Crisis? - Supertramp 3 Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd 4 Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan 5 The Who By Numbers - The Who 6 HQ - Roy Harper 7= A Night At The Opera - Queen 7= The Original Soundtrack - 10cc 9 Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin 10= Modern Times - Al Stewart 10= Straightshooter - Bad Company 12 Katy Lied - Steely Dan 13 Come Taste The Band - Deep Purple 14= Face The Music - Electric Light Orchestra 14= Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - Rainbow 14= Still Crazy After All These Years - Paul Simon 17 Futurama - Be Bop Deluxe 18 Venus & Mars - Wings 19 Nils Lofgren - Nils Lofgren 20= Circus - Argent 20= Elyssian Encounters - Baker Gurvitz Army 20= Taxi To The Terminal Zone - Ducks Deluxe 20= Zuma - Neil Young
Led Zeppelin is my choice too, so I agree 100% with you on that one. Love pink Floyd as well. Frank Zappa, interesting choice, I like Frank in small doses myself. Chears👍
Your cut off year for music sounds like a good idea. Mine is probably 1998. That's when I left Australia so I wasn’t listening to the radio or reading music magazines. Of course I have listened to new music since then but on a much smaller scale. How about a best of the 90s?
Hi Studmuffin 1975 wasn't as good a year as 74 but the Zeplin album was a great one and both Zappa albums were great too. Sorry but Night at the opera is the top of my hate list for any year especially the song bohemian rhapsody.
1. Electric Light Orchestra Face The Music 2. Steve Hackett Voyage Of The Acolyte 3. Chris De Burgh Spanish Train And Other Stories 4. ABBA ABBA 5. Bee Gees Main Course 6. Wings Venus And Mars 7. Le Orme Smogmagica 8. Elton John Rock Of The Westies 9. Umberto Balsamo Natalì 10. Tin Pan Alley Caramel Mama 11. Grateful Dead Blues For Allah
Do you get paid every time one of your songs on the Redneck Canadian album is played on Spotify? If so I have no problem looping the tracks on my computer while I'm out. The neighbors will hate me but it's all good. lol
A lot of fun to do,and off the top of my head I'd have to say,a few of mine: MONTROSE Warner Brothers Presents URIAH HEEP Return to Fantasy PROCOL HARUM Ninth THIRSTY MOON Blitz TRAPEZE s/t also,although I didn't care for it,but BAD COMPANY Straight Shooter would be on a few lists by others, as it had their biggest hits. Take care,Larry
@@debjorgo I appreciate your opinion, but I respectfully disagree. Desolation Angels was a step-up from that one (even w/ R&R Fantasy, which was radio pap,and didn't belong) This was their last well rounded one, and it includes probably their very best unheralded tune--Gone Gone Gone. They were a fine group,as their original players,and they made it through the MACHINE and came out on the other side alright. And with Paul Rodgers at the helm, they have really nothing to be ashamed about or hang their heads. They were one of the very best for their era and commercial zone output. They delivered.
@@danbartko164 That's good to know. As I said, I liked the first album and Running with the Pack a lot. I never heard Straight Shooter and any album after that, only the songs that got played on the radio. I got so burnt out on Feel Like Making Love playing constantly on the radio, even what I had liked started to bore me. I was getting the two CD sets for each album that were released in the mid-2010s. I stopped after Running with the Pack.
Ha! I was comin' back for Larry. Too late. In it's essence and time of recording...'74. But released on Paul Stanley's birthday, 1975. So she's a '75er. Only people who knew it in 1974 were the inner circles of Bobby Z.
Great top 10 for 1975, a very strong year for music! My favourite albums from this year are ones that were in your honourable mentions being Born To Run, Blood On The Tracks & Captain Fantastic! I’ve still got to listen to Wish You Were Here as well as your favourite album from 75! I might need to get that Redneck Canadian on vinyl!😂

Crap! Missed this one... big year for me it seems. Great list on your side. Some essential crossover with mine in a couple of places.
1. Another Green World - Eno

At least for today. At first I included Coney Island Baby but then (being surprised not to see it in your list) looking on the Internet I saw that it was more often attributed to 1976 so it would probably be more correct to put it there (would be #7 in 1975).
Some of my favourites are Born To Run, Venus And Mars, Minstrel In The Gallery, Physical Grafitti, Fly By Night, Caress Of Steel and Indiscreet.
Physical Graffiti is for sure the best album of 1975. I think Zoso is my favorite Zeppelin album though.
I've enjoyed this series. Two of my all-time favorite albums come from 1975 in Dylan's Blood On The Tracks and Springsteen's Born To Run although they were on the outskirts of your list. I did like the Led Zeppelin pick. Young Americans and Wish You Were Here would probably make my top ten.

Just completed an 200+ album cleaning exercise, about half of what I own….graduated in 77 and started my career making good change…I seemed to have gone quit crazy buying albums that year. Noticed album after album from 77 doing my clean up exercise. Also realized I took pretty good care of my musical prizes. Lots of first pressing that sound. Damn good on my system today. Great memories.
Hi Larry - it's a pity that you didn't do a best 1995 - so in the meantime my personal favorite albums of 1995:
1 Till the Night Is Gone: A Tribute to Doc Pomus - Various Artists
2 For the Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson - Various Artists
3 Orange Crate Art - Brian Wilson & Van Dyke Parks
4 The Long Goodbye: Symphonic Music of Procol Harum - Procol Harum/Various/LSO/Sinfonia of London
5 I Just Wasn't Made for These Times - Brian Wilson
6 The Reunion Concerts 1994 - Colosseum
7 A Man Called Destruction - Alex Chilton
8 All That May Do My Rhyme - Roky Erickson
9 Bryndle - Bryndle
10 Lonesome Road - Chris Farlowe
+ 99.9°F World Tour - Making Noise (EP+) - Suzanne Vega
It looks like he might be doing the years in order. So if you hold on.... Maybe?
What a wonderful top 10.
I remember the first time i heard Sabbath's Sabotage. I'd always liked Sabbath but hearing the guitar riff in Megalomania was the moment i really got Sabbath.
I'm going to cheat. These are in order though. If you have to, you can drop off everything after Fleetwood Mac.
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Rock of the Westies - Elton John
Venus and Mars - Wings
Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
Welcome to My Nightmare - Alice Cooper
Fandango - ZZ Top
Red Octopus _ Jefferson Starship
Still Crazy After All These Years - Paul Simon
Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac
Young Americans - David Bowie
Promised Land - Elvis Presley
Straight Shooter - Bad Company
Captain Fantastic - Elton John
One of These Nights - Eagles
Insert Toys in the Attic above Physical Graffiti. I overlooked it.
Renaissance-Scherazade, Strawbs- Ghosts and Hayward/Lodge- Blue Jays
great video Larry
thanks for sharing
I don't know if I can come up with 10 but the most played albums in 1975:
1) Two Lane Highway-Pure Prairie League
2) Fandango!-ZZ Top
3) Born To Run-Springsteen
4) Bridge of Sighs-Robin Trower.
These albums got heavy play in 1975,
No knocks against anything in either of your 1975 lists; all great choices. I might have included Nuthin' Fancy by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Welcome to My Nightmare by Alice Cooper and Straight Shooter by Bad Company, but this is your list, not mine. Interesting that you gave an honorable mention to Ted Nugent's solo debut. Actually, his first three solo albums (Ted Nugent, Free-For-All, Cat Scratch Fever) are all head and shoulders above any of his other stuff, including the albums with The Amboy Dukes. Plus you can include Double Live Gonzo as well. Nothing he did after that measures up, or is even close.
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Is the best double album of all times. You listen to the first two sides which are both great, then you come to the third which is awesome.. with "In the light", "Bron-Yr-Aur", "Down by the seaside" and "Ten years gone". It doesn't get better!
Black Sabbath - "Sabotage" is a great album too. It is number two.
Pink Floyd - "Wish you were here" is number three
Ted Nugent first solo album no 4.
Wings- "Venus & Mars" no 5.
Dr Feelgood - "Malpractice" no 6.
thanks to you larry for introducing me to the shaggs record. They are the band that started prog punk and new wave. Many bands split up after hearing that record knowing it could never be beat including the beatles. thankyou
Was hard to boil it down to 10 but here are mine
10. Queen - A Night At the Opera
9. Supertramp - Crisis? What Crisis?
8. Neil Young - Tonight's the Night
7. Aerosmith - Toys In the Attic
6. Heart - Dreamboat Annie
5. Led Zepplin - Physical Graffiti
4. Bob Marley & the Wailers - Live!
3. Fleetwood Mac - second selftitled
2. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
1. Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
And just because I already had them ranked
13. The Band - The Basement Tapes
12. ZZ Top - Fandango!
11. Paul Simon - Crazy After All These Years
And now let's see what you have.
Lol have a similar top 10. Owned every one..in the day…of your top 10.
@@jamesdamon9876 👍 great taste for music 😁
popular albums from '95 worth a listen... Pavement - wowie zowie, Smashing Pumpkins - mellon collie..., Blur - great escape. Elliott Smith & Foo Fighters
Agree, '95 was great. I would add Björk - Post, Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill, Garbage- self-titled, No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom, Alice in Chains - self-titled, Faith No More - King For a Day... Fool For a Lifetime.
We even had some classic rock artists, Neil Young released Mirror Ball with Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen released The Ghost of Tom Joad.
Wowee Zowee would be one of my top choices, killer album.
Number one by a long shot would be Blood on the Tracks for me, again, top 3 favorite of all-time. I'd also have Common Sense by John Prine and Venus and Mars, which I like more than Band on the Run. Enjoyed this Larry!
Zuma - Neil Young 9.5
Tonight's The Night - Neil Young 9
Blood on the Tracks - Dylan 9
Fleetwood Mac 9
Siren - Roxy Music
Katie Lied - Steely Dan 8.8
Horses - Patti Smith 8.5
Another Green World - Eno 8
Physical Graffiti Led Zep 8
Indiscreet - Sparks 8
Queen - whatever the record is .. last and least. 4
Pink Floyd WYWH or Chris Squire’s Fish Out Of Water for me…
I only know like 20 albums from 1975 so I can rank half of them, in ascending order:
10 Nighthawks at the Diner Tom Waits
9 Welcome to My Nightmare Alice Cooper
8 Bongo Fury Frank Zappa
7 Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack Various
6 ABBA ABBA
5 Free Hand Gentle Giant
4 Horses Patti Smith
3 Indiscreet Sparks
2 Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd
1 Night At the Opera Queen
Venus & Mars is actually one of McCartney’s finest albums Larry!
Talk about covering the bases! Rock, 30s style music, TV themes, and Ballads galore!
Whew! I actually listen to it more than Band on the Run, but only because Band on the Run is almost a greatest hits album, and is more difficult to listen to as the album that was presented to us!
Michael Jackson’s Thriller suffers from the same problem, in that at this point you feel like your listening to a Greatest Hits album!
Poor Paul and Michael! Their albums were marred by their singles released! They probably cried all the way to the Bank!😉🤔🎧❤
Post Script: Not as many tears as Redneck Canadian mind you! That guy just raked in the dough!😉
Venus and Mars is a great choice. My 2nd favorite McCartney solo album.
You definitely have a greater rock culture than I have, Larry. I’m enjoying this series.
Physical Graffitti - excellent choice for number one. Zeppelin at their peak. One album I would add to the list is Another Green World by Brian Eno. Polar opposite to Zeppelin but a real groundbreaking album in terms of production and instrumentation.
Just a top 5 for 1975 (don't care much for the rest): 5- Tabarnac - Offenback ... 4- Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin ... 3- Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen ... 2- Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd ... 1- A Night at the Opera - Queen
Physical Graffiti would arguably be the No.1 album of the 1970's.As far as ROCK is concerned.Don't think there's anything much better and diverse than that !!
Two of my favorite albums from 1975 are Grateful Dead - Blues For Allah, and Roger Daltrey - Ride A Rock Horse.
Thanks for the Physical Graffiti, Venus and Mars, Wish You Were Here, and One Size Fits All, and Bongo Fury.
On Your Feet or On Your Knees! BOC!
Great list and some albums I am gonna have to check out.
I really enjoy this series. I would have put Wish You Were Here at number. 1 Great number 1 pick.
I would add Alice Cooper - Welcome To My Nightmare and...The Carpenters - Horizon what a great sounding album! It was an amazing year!
You've got Red Neck Canadian a little high I think Larry,it's a great album for sure but I don't know about it being in your top three,top ten maybe but definitely not top three. Bob.
Hi Larry i really love these series,some of my favorite albums from 1975 are: Queen a Njght At the opera, Led Zeppelin Physical graffiti, Golden earring switch and to the hilt, the who who by numbers,pink floyd wish you were here,Kiss alive, Jethro Tull minstrel in the gallery, 👍✌
Of course Zep took it home. Love the Zappa representation on this list too! Great list, now it's time to open up my Spotify app!
A great list. Although A night at the opera would definately in my top10. Nice to see Golden Earring 's To the hilt in the list. One of my favorites from them (and they're from my home country)
I listened to To The Hilt this afternoon. I have it down as a 1976 album.
@@paulsimister944 Your right, it's from 76. Still ga geat album though. My first GE album was Switch and that was from 75.

i loved these albums in 75 as much as i love them today.
Somehow I knew PG was going to be top of your list. Somehow you missed the Who By Numbers which was 1975. I believe the Tommy soundtrack would've been out that year as well (although I prefer the 1969 album).
I don't really have a fave from that year. I know we owned Venus and Mars and A Night at the Opera and played them a lot. I guess Wings Over America was 76...
I didn't miss The Who By Numbers, it's not one of my favorites of theirs.
@@canadianstudmuffin It grows on you.... By now, after following your channel for a while and commenting for a while, you may detect a bit of Who bias on my part... 😁
@@lib556 I love the album, it just wouldn't be in my top ten, thanks. 🙂
Thanks - nice video.
physical grafitti, sabotage, ANight At The Opera, alive !, TNT, wish you were here, USA (king crimson)
Some other great albums for me are E.C. Was Here and There's One in Every Crowd by Eric Clapton and Rock of the Westies by Elton John. Extra Texture (Read All About It) by George Harrison, Rock 'n' Roll by John Lennon, The Who by Numbers by the Who and Crisis? What Crisis? by Supertramp are all pretty good as well.
I love John and George but neither of these albums worked for me.
Bob Dyillllan😀Thanks for the great reminders of these great albums.
1975 is my second favourite year, with special memories because I woke up to rock music in the autumn of this year.
Here is my top 20 based on plays:
1 Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
2 Crisis? What Crisis? - Supertramp
3 Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
4 Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan
5 The Who By Numbers - The Who

19 Nils Lofgren - Nils Lofgren
20= Circus - Argent
20= Elyssian Encounters - Baker Gurvitz Army
20= Taxi To The Terminal Zone - Ducks Deluxe
20= Zuma - Neil Young
Led Zeppelin is my choice too, so I agree 100% with you on that one. Love pink Floyd as well. Frank Zappa, interesting choice, I like Frank in small doses myself. Chears👍
Your cut off year for music sounds like a good idea. Mine is probably 1998. That's when I left Australia so I wasn’t listening to the radio or reading music magazines. Of course I have listened to new music since then but on a much smaller scale. How about a best of the 90s?
These posts are fun. I did '73 and this one. I skipped '74. I have to go back and get it.
Hi Studmuffin 1975 wasn't as good a year as 74 but the Zeplin album was a great one and both Zappa albums were great too. Sorry but Night at the opera is the top of my hate list for any year especially the song bohemian rhapsody.
1. Electric Light Orchestra Face The Music
2. Steve Hackett Voyage Of The Acolyte
3. Chris De Burgh Spanish Train And Other Stories
4. ABBA ABBA
5. Bee Gees Main Course
6. Wings Venus And Mars
7. Le Orme Smogmagica
8. Elton John Rock Of The Westies
9. Umberto Balsamo Natalì
10. Tin Pan Alley Caramel Mama
11. Grateful Dead Blues For Allah
Do you get paid every time one of your songs on the Redneck Canadian album is played on Spotify? If so I have no problem looping the tracks on my computer while I'm out. The neighbors will hate me but it's all good. lol
If I do, it's probably a few cents a year, ha ha!
@@canadianstudmuffin That's all you get? Makes that box set less likely.
Without question : physical graffiti ✊
Hope you can do 72 because that's the year I was born
😄Yessss! Led Zepp’s PG album❗️
Would like a copy of Redneck Canadian cd😄
The nineties were real bad for good music, very little to enjoy IMO.
It was a good decade if you liked Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains.... Those bands.
A lot of fun to do,and off the top of my head I'd have to say,a few of mine:
MONTROSE Warner Brothers Presents
URIAH HEEP Return to Fantasy
PROCOL HARUM Ninth
THIRSTY MOON Blitz
TRAPEZE s/t
also,although I didn't care for it,but
BAD COMPANY Straight Shooter
would be on a few lists by others,
as it had their biggest hits.
Take care,Larry
Yeah, I like Shooting Star, Deal with the Preacher and Wild Fire Woman. Good Lovin' Gone Bad is okay.
@@debjorgo
Yes,the last 2 that you mentioned
were to me,the best on this album.
@@danbartko164 The first album was great. This album, not as much. Then I liked Run with the Pack a lot. They just didn't grab me after that.
@@debjorgo
I appreciate your opinion,
but I respectfully disagree.
Desolation Angels was a step-up
from that one (even w/ R&R Fantasy,
which was radio pap,and didn't belong)
This was their last well rounded one,
and it includes probably their very best
unheralded tune--Gone Gone Gone.
They were a fine group,as their original
players,and they made it through the
MACHINE and came out on the
other side alright.
And with Paul Rodgers at the helm,
they have really nothing to be
ashamed about or hang their heads.
They were one of the very best
for their era and commercial zone output. They delivered.
@@danbartko164 That's good to know. As I said, I liked the first album and Running with the Pack a lot. I never heard Straight Shooter and any album after that, only the songs that got played on the radio. I got so burnt out on Feel Like Making Love playing constantly on the radio, even what I had liked started to bore me. I was getting the two CD sets for each album that were released in the mid-2010s. I stopped after Running with the Pack.
*YOU DIDN'T HAVE 'BORN TO RUN' IN TOP 10!* Are you really a purveyor of fine music?
I can have different tastes in music than you do. I own Born To Run and it's great but it's not one of MY favorites for the year.
Sabotage
Blood On The Tracks is 1974 Larry
Blood on the Tracks is the fifteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on January 20, 1975, by Columbia Records.
Ha! I was comin' back for Larry. Too late. In it's essence and time of recording...'74. But released on Paul Stanley's birthday, 1975. So she's a '75er. Only people who knew it in 1974 were the inner circles of Bobby Z.
@@canadianstudmuffin My album and CD both say 1974 but if you say ‘75 I won’t argue the point.
Larry is correct, early 1975 release date, recorded in 74
Great top 10 for 1975, a very strong year for music! My favourite albums from this year are ones that were in your honourable mentions being Born To Run, Blood On The Tracks & Captain Fantastic!
I’ve still got to listen to Wish You Were Here as well as your favourite album from 75! I might need to get that Redneck Canadian on vinyl!😂
The Who The Who by Numbers.
Zappa,Beefheart Bogo Fury
Redneck Canadian was 2006.
