Now, if we're talking 50s Elvis...

my mom is 71, almost 72. She randomly got an email recently from a boyfriend when she was in her 20s, hadn't spoken to him in over 50 years. He sent her this song and told her how it reminded him of her and the times they had

yall already on the 70s huh?

Been here for months

Ngl I hate this f***in song

The amount of people that came out with multiple banger albums and I almost get annoyed when a modern artist comes out with two albums I gotta listen to in one year

Van Morrison had a mega classic with Moondance of course but His Band & Street Choir nearly as strong

Sabbath invented metal in the self titled then perfected it immediately with Paranoid

Neil had a mastapiece with After The Gold Rush but also had classic songs on the CSNY album and Ohio single

Bee Gees might have a classic with Cucumber Castle and 2 Years On had gems as well

King Crimson basically has a ITCOTCK sequel with Wake Of Poseidon then hinted at their more angular future with Lizard

Cat Stevens had a mega classic with Tea For The Tillerman but Mona Bone Jakon has incredible gems too

Isaac Hayes basically continued that golden Hot Buttered Soul blueprint twice with To Be Continued and Isaac Hayes Movement

P-Funk had two albums of insanely creative and progressive funk/soul with Free Your Mind and Osmium

T.Rex had their cool last couple albums as a freak folk duo before Bolan became a full fledged glam rock star next year

Grateful Dead finally found their comfort zone in the studio with superntender Workingmans Dead and American Beauty

Sir Douglas Quintet had a bunch of gems on Together After Five and 1+1+1=4

Rod Stewart had a classic with Gasoline Alley and potent gems on the Faces debut First Step

Two dingers from Exuma

Clapton had The Dominos album and his poo butt debut

Tim Buckley had Lorca and crazy ass Starsailor

Creedence had classic Cosmos Factory and overhhated Pendulum

Wyatt had his last album with Soft Machine and a solo album

Even Syd Barrett had Madcap Laughs and a self titled

Van der Graaf
Elton
alot more probably

these are such bops @HeyFella

Aww that's really sweet. It must have been so dope to been around in that period.

You ever thought of the Funk Music Holy Trinity?

James Brown is the Father, Prince is the Son, George Clinton is the Holy Spirit

I don't need your wah-wah

A couple more popular tracks that i'm diggin' from this year:

Instant Karma!
I Want You Back
Into The Mystic
Close To You
Lola
Band Of Gold.

As far as deep cuts, I'm a huge Sabbath fan so Planet Caravan from Paranoid would be a shout. I was shocked to discover that Ozzy actually sings on that one.

I deserve a slap for omitting casey jones 🙃

Just discovered Band Of Gold doing Motown should have been doing at the time (Temptations were carrying the label at this point)

Don't sleep on late 60s/early 70s Aretha b Marvin also dropped What's Goin' On in 1970.
Inner City Blues is tough, and plus if it wasn't for What's Goin' On Stevie wouldn't have made Innervisions.

I been marinating on Arethas classic period for decades don't worry if you check the OP you'll see I gave her SOTY for 1968 over alot of stuff I'm obsessed with. The queen won't be denied though

And no Marvin did not drop that in 1970

yeah this is one of the best

I mean I can't say I really know the exact meaning of the actual Biblical Holy Trinity perse but yeah of course

damn you're right.

why did i think that? 🤔

Idk Marvin's album from 1970 is pretty mid tbh probably not many people expected a mega opus from him in '71

You listen to Roberta Flack? She was the closest to giving Aretha a run for her money during this era

I’ve never seen you all bring this up before

ive thought as those 3 as the funk goats for a while but expected you both to uphold your god Sly as up their with them which I disagree with
