Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites

I've been listening to a local FM station a little more recently and have been enjoying some of the "flashbacks" that they've been playing. I'm primarily talking about stuff from Bowie, Roxy Music, Velvet Underground and yes, even the Stones, etc...

As such, i thought it would be neat to dredge up the past and ask some of you to contribute a "few" of your favourite albums from this time. This might also help others find some "gems" that may have been overlooked. Just remember, we're talking early to mid 1970's, not your favourite rock albums of all time. Sean

I have to start with Jethro Tull and than I'd mention them a few more times. Yes and Genesis come to mind along with Pink Floyd, Careful with that axe Eugene! When I first switched to FM from AM I found a really seriously weird station in Milw that played bizarre AOR most of which I had never heard, but it made it hard to go back to "Band on the Run" as it played on every AM station all the time. But that was a long time ago!!!
