Master of reality is from 1972 though

[kingreich22]

@CarlTaut It actually came out in July of 1971. You can look it up.

Hound Dog Taylor oozing with distortion, followed by James Brown followed by Locomotive Breathe, one of Jethro Tull's best. And then, as if that wasn't enough, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Marvin Gaye, Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders, Pink Floyd, Stones, Sly, T Rex, Uriah Heep, Van Der Graf Generator, Who's Next, Yes, Andean folk music, and Roy Harper.... pretty amazing stuff came out in 1971.

Where were Flower Travelling Band from? I'll have to check more of their stuff out.

Hi Kingreich22, excellent and varied picks. Boy, 1971 was a good year, too bad I was too young. But not really, I can benefit from previous generations and anticipate the future.

I could bloody well kiss you kingreich22 (name is a bit odd, however).these lists are revealing some great gems and this young guy is quite happy to be checking your lists out. Cheers brother!

Wow...you really like Caravan. It made it to your 1970 AND 1971 lists. Their influence didn't make it across the Atlantic unfortunately.

@kingreich22 Sorry, I was wrong.
