Frank Zappa - Weasels ripped my Flesh
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory
Uriah Heep - Very Eavy, very Umble
Gentle Giant - Gentle Giant

VDGG - He to H......
Caravan - If I could do it all over again, .....

Cheers.

Yes released "Time and a Word" in 1970. Not too shabby.

Yes, I agree it was a good year. Genesis: Trespass and Yes: Time And A Word were my favourites, without a doubt.

It's hard to choose an absolute favorite of that year, but VDGG certainly comes close.

My 5 star picks for 1970:
VDGG - H to He
Genesis - Trespass
King Crimson - Lizard
Almost making the cut is GG's self-titled.

WOO! CREEDENCE! Yeah, and trespass is great... Have to say though, 'The Knife' is probably my second least favourite song on that album... Its definitely a good song, but I prefer the folkier tunes on that record...

1969 - 1974 was a particularly amazing time for musical creativity. Must have been the socio/political climate of the time... or maybe it was just the alignment of the stars, who knows, but I don't think this period of creativity has been matched or surpassed since.
