1971
1971, I remember it well... OK maybe not well, I was very young afterall. These early years are way cool to pick through, loads of cool music that I would love to connect with, alas, budget limitations will hinder this, so I have to be picky.
Lets take walk through the year that was 1971 by absorbing some wiki-facts. Facts that are ao reliable they're better than any history book...
All are significant events, and I mean all!

Third one from the left is a man, baby. It's a man!
Doobie Bros - Never heard this before. But I like it. Very laid back and peaceful, as the title implies. A great song to hear while sitting on a creek bank. And I dig the rhythm guitar throughout the song.
Chicago - Another song I've never heard. Listen to Cetera on the bass. Sweet. And I guess that's Kath on lead. What a terrific player. The horns and vocals tell you it's Chicago. Not bad, but not quite as good as the Doobies. But the bass is killer.
Timeout: I'm watching what I guess is a family business going on across the street. I have never seen a guy go so far out on a limb to cut it down before. If that limb breaks, he's gonna be in a world of hurt
Purple - Haven't heard this one either. I have wanted this album for a while, still haven't picked it up. The piano is cool. I guess that's Jon Lord. The lyrics aren't particularly impressive, so this one is third on the list before.
Timeout: He got the limb down and he's still hanging in the tree. He appears to know what he is doing.
McCartney - Four for four, haven't heard this either. I like the tempo change, but other than that there's nothing in this song that appeals to me.
Timeout: Still alive. He's kicking this tree's butt. He has a couple of dudes working the ground. He looks like a quarterback up in the tree. He's barking signals and pointing directions. And he's just jumping and flying around in this tree like a circus trapeze performer.
The Who - Finally, a song I've heard. It's an okay song, but the bass work is the best part of it. Well that and the good vocals.
Overall, Id rank 'em: Doobies>Chicago>Deep Purple>The Who>McCartney.
Enjoyed the listen bro.
Thanks Boss... I think Im really digging these early 70's playlists, loads of cool music we missed out on..
Too bad about that tree guy, some drama in your post would've been nice! :-)
everyone of these bands where epic by my standards, it difficult to choose any one in particular
But to your point... There is no choosing unless you wish to rank the tunes, otherwise listen and enjoy is the only requirements, but commenting and interaction is most welcome as well...
well my favorite albums from these guys were different from the ones above..but i still distinctly remember a few killer tunes from each one of those albums though...wish i held on to those old vinyl records..they sure got pretty beat up over time.. were mainly hand downs from my older brother
Except for the Doobie Brothers Album .... I have them all and of course they were a big part of my life ..... Along with
Fine choices! Dot feel bad about missing out on the Doobies debut, from the sounds of it everyone did...
Let's see.....1971? I believe I was learning how to ride my hog and crashing into a fire hydrant. Whacked the top of it with my head, and had to be brought to the hospital because it punctured my skull and there was blood squirting everywhere and now matter how many leaves and how much dirt my poppa jammed into the hole, blood still squirted everywhere. I was tossed into the back of the Pinto and off we went to the local vet since it was closer than the local hospital and the vet plugged up the hole the best he could with yak hair and rubber cement. When I went home, I immediately jumped back on the hog and lost control while coasting down the driveway and did a header into the metal basketball hoop pole thing. After that, I don't remember much.
I have albums 2, 3 & 5, have songs 2, 3, 4 & 5, don't remember the song from album 3 but the song from album 1 is familiar for some reason. Song 1 doesn't sound too muffled to me, must be one of them there wikipedia facts, seriously that 3rd one from the left is a man.
Decent listen, I must say so myself. And I do.
