I saw some great bands in the 70s but I wouldn't include the Pink Fairies in that statement. Saw them at Bromley technical college in 1971. They were so loud - it was just an ear bleeding mess imo. I think Hawkwind came on later, by which time I couldn't hear a thing - although alcohol may have been partly to blame.seth plum said:What a Bunch of Sweeties.

Know what you mean Seth - I have the tinnitus to prove it.seth plum said:Yes they were ear bleedingly loud, which is the kind of thing we liked in those days.
About the same time we used to go to the rock pubs, The spotted Cow in Hither green, The Magdala in Dulwich and the Kings head in Blackfriars - where the anthem was always Butterfly Bleu by Iron Butterfly

Good callA-R-T-H-U-R said: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

The year of my birth - always a classic.....although Pipes & Drums & Miltary Band Of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards was at number one when I was born so not such a classic song.....0

I remember my big sister telling me I was growing up after I bought Transformer - my album of '72.
My first year of spending all my money on albums - generally a couple a month. Classics for me were, Machine Head (which someone offered me £50 for my copy a couple of weeks ago), Close to the Edge, Thick as a Brick, Foxtrot, along with one of the greatest live albums ever recorded in Made in Japan.
Honourable mention must go to Floyd's Live at Pompeii,

Gnidrolog: In Spite Of Harry's Toenail. Don't know what the album was like but I always liked the name. Even saw them live at The Marquee.
Foxtrot, Argus, Machine Head, Exile On Main Street. Some of my favourite albums are from 1972.
Only one I can think of that hasn't already been mentioned is Uriah Heep's Demons And Wizards.1 -
On Thick as a Brick at a random moment a front doorbell rings. First time it happened I checked the door for real, nobody there. Then the doorbell rings again a couple of minutes later, I checked again, nobody.
After that I was amused to see others fall for it too when listening.

Absolutely, an all time favourite from a definitive band in my modest musical life. But....stonemuse said:

I remember I got it at Christmas. I remember putting on that Christmas morning, and as soon as the blast hit after the little accoustic intro on "Our Song", I knew it was going to be a great Christmas. But I'm pretty sure that must have been 71. Sorry to be a pedant.
Along with this Argus is the one that stands the test of time for me. And both bands I regularly loved seeing at the Black Prince or Croydon Greyhound.
so while I'm here, I'll offer a shout to my Czech buddy's regular anorak programme on Prague Radio 1 which will start in about 45 minutes. He could easily feature something from any of the albums above.

Is that the one with "Someone's Learning" ? If so, you are dead right. It was after that they learnt how to write catchy singles, IIRC.Greenie said: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
