    very true
  • Can I include Moving Waves (Focus) as, whilst it was released in late 1971, I did buy it in 1972?
  • And let us not forget Ben (Michael Jackson) either.

    What a line up Henners, hard to disagree.

    Piledriver - Quo (yes I know laugh you bastards) but have a listen.

    For me the best album of 72 and the best Stones album bar none - Exile on Main St - Rolling Stones

    I will laugh but I agree on Exile. Except when i listen to Let it Bleed

    Yes I think Electric Warrior was a really decent album for what it was with a pretty distinctive sound. First album I ever bought. :-) still got it in the loft somewhere.

    Something/Anything – Todd Rundgren
  • Be good to yourself at least once a day - Man
    Complete with prize-winning 2' by 2' fold out cover with a map of Wales being poled away from England
    9 and a half minutes of Bananas - they dont write them like that any more....

    I like to eat bananas
    'Cos they got no bones
    I like marijuana
    'Cos it gets me stoned

    Put a seed into the ground
    Wait for the sun to come around
    Nurture it with love and care
    Give it sun and rain and air
    Then, oh then,
    You gotta let it grow
    Let it grow
    Come on wait for it to sprout
    Then you get your Rizlas out


    Second best album of 1972
    Live at the Padget Rooms - Man

    To think I used to hang a Gary Glitter poster on my bedroom wall.
    "Did you miss me while I was away?
    Did you hang my picture on your wall?
    And did you miss me every single day?
    Although you couldn't kiss me at all?"


    The chorus still gets an airing, with different lyrics, at football games these days.
