 Topic: Your 10 Favourite Prog Albums of 1970Posted: May 26 2021 at 05:40 |
|
I was just a 20th Century Boy way back in 1970 at the age of 10/11 in the year that gave birth to the Glam Rock era. It was a year when long-haired musicians were prettied up with heavy mascara, platform shoes and tinsel & glitter, and that was just the men. The ten favourite obscure prog albums listed below completely passed me by at the time of release, but thanks to ProgArchives and the Internet, I'm making up for a misspent musical youth now.
 Armageddon - Armageddon Audience - Friend's Friend's Friend Bachdenkel - Lemmings Cressida - Cressida Fairfield Parlour - From Home to Home Marsupilami - Marsupilami May Blitz - May Blitz Rare Bird - As Your Mind Flies By Titus Groan - Titus Groan The Web - I Spider

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I prefer Sean Trane's list to mine, seeing as he has three times as many great albums on his list, any of which could have featured on my list too. |

G'day mates! I was caught on the hop by seeing Marsupilami's excellent album included on a couple of lists, because I somehow skipped it from my original list, so I've jumped right in and added it belatedly.
