11: Your 1970-74 One track per album track faves

This is the tenth topic in a series with one track per album for a set of given years. In this it is one track per album for the years 1970 through 1974. I hope to see some of your favourite tracks from those years. If it seems daunting, consider just listing, say, five or ten tracks from the years. You can always make another list later, or add to it later.

I knew this potentially could be nightmare of a list to prepare as this is the period, like I would expect with many of us, that I have the most albums from. I decided to only include one track from one album per act for my list and I did about 120 tracks.

^ Thanks. It's nice for me to see a choice from Three Friends. It's one of my very favourite Gentle Giant albums, and "Prologue" is one of my very favourite Gentle Giant songs.

Oh dear, forgot the Dutch bands (how could I?!) so a tiny little selection

Scorpions~Lonesome Crow (same, 1972)
