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

Ben, not to quibble, but are you sure of your dates? Be-Bop Deluxe Axe Victim and Futurama were 1974 releases, Night at the Opera is copyrighted 1975 on my MOFI Cd. I'm sure I listened to Styx "Lady" and whichever REO album had 'Riding the Storm Out' on it while a junior in high school, which would been 75, although since I don't have those LP's I can't be certain. Of course, given my 'state of mind' those days, I'm surprised I can remember anything!

CREDENCE CLEARWATER FOR SURE!!! - For starters Stew "Heart" Cook - the bass player in CCR was my college roommate and fellow fraternity brother at San Jose State. Doug Clifford - the drummer in CCR lived a few blocks away, and was over at our place several times a week.
All of the guys in CCR had grown up in Albany, CA and had started a band in high school to play fraternity party gigs and at local clubs in nearby Berkeley, CA - where the University of California is located.
I kept in touch - and later on after serving a tour in the Navy - I was a set-up man on one of their tours. Talk about fun!!! Boy we really had it!!!
