all the big ones of prog made stuff thats as basically as good as it gets with 3 of the all time great long epics (Suppers Ready, Close to the Edge, Thick as a Brick). kraut probably peaking, plus canterbury, international scenes catching up, still some psych remnant underground bands, space rock kicking in

Hard Rock not as deep as it was but still getting into its status as one of rock's biggest commercial behemoth styles. Sabbath, Purple, Heep in their peaks plus some beginnings of bands that would peak soon like BOC

maybe im sleeping on some deep glam but accordingly to my library ive only even heard 4 glam albums from 1972. doesnt appear to have as much depth beyond the big ones. if its an all time year from any scene i need you to put a top 10 glam albums of the year list, thats a wild statement

Yeap I've checked all of that out and stand by what I said. Nothing is touching Roxy debut, Ziggy and Slider. That's the real mewsic

Machine Head is better than all those macho rock destined to reign supreme over the pansies

I don't really like them but the points the same. The real drag dudes were badass back then. Of course Bowie and Bolan were not. I can't speak on those Roxy dudes, they look like they might be packing a shiv though.

rock in the midst of its peak this year anyway on all fronts not even to mention all the other rock genres of pop, folk, country, southern, blues all going strong

yeah its tongue in cheek and if i was around back then id be more in the pansy glam drag scene anyway but its fun to love the meathead caveman rockers in peak macho excess only the 70s could give us

the mighty KISS who combined the glam and meathead fronts entering in the next year

74 actually, whatever

For sure. My pops played a pretty equal measure of all three, plus my mom's folk rock Definitely helped form my taste to a crazy degree even if we argued about Yes vs Kinks and s*** later on.

Big year for Wishbone, Joe Walsh, and Yes. Pretty much just Floyd missing out of his top handful. Definitely peak dadrock year.

Obscured by Clouds is still quite good

Floyd finally come across their new sound which would make them the biggest band of the decade

Are you not on Team If There Is Something Is Song Of The Life Club?

once we reach 74 there will be at least one album from them every year until 1986

Didn't realize you were that kisspilled

not fully kisspilled but appreciating the forefathers was inevitable once i became a glam metal/cheesy 80s hard rock fan

This arrangement is like the perfect merging of deep soul and In A Silent Way Miles
