Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites

While I'm no rock journalist (Loved the movie "Almost Famous");As a really old guy,this is my favorite time period. Music is no different than clothing styles,lingo, /fads, what have you./ In that each generation has its own.---All taking things to a different level.---We've all heard the expression: "Standing on the shoulders of giants"( see Jimmy Hendricks)For these are the things that identify each generation. I go back to the big bands;Was a fan of rhythm and blues before Elvis came along. Music has been through many phases. I think there were a few down times along the way;but there was always somebody coming along.-----Oh, BTW I think by '75, the Eagles were on their 3rd or 4th album.

I might have to go upstairs and spin some of this vinyl again:

Bowie's Aladdin Sane
Springsteen's Greetings From Asbury Park
Zappa'a Apostrophe
Traffic Welcome to the Canteen
Bonnie Raitt's Give It Up
Tull Stand Up
Jackson Brown's Saturate Before Using
Santana Moonflower

Must be nice to still have the brain cells to remember those times so well - it's all just a "purple haze" to me...
(As an aside, somebody's auctioning "Tangerine Dream" - one of the first albums I ever bought, and I just figured I had the only copy - along w/ "The Elephant's Memory")

Cheers,
Tom

Captain Beyond - S/T
