Each year, so far, the music has become more and more familiar. The more I hear, the clearer the roots of my musical life come to life. And at this point, it feels like 1975 may be the year that I really learned to love music. If its not, then there sure is alot of music from 1975 that shaped me.
So much to hear before we decide on the impact this decade had on us. So lets jump into some Wiki-Facts (sponsored by JonsMindO'Pedia) and get a feel for the year that was...

That's what I said...
KISSFAN makes an appearance! Come back more often - Jon loves KISS!
All kidding aside (except for the come back more often part) Alive! is a very important record no doubt... Best of all time? Maybe you could make a case fort best Live album of all time...
Eloy also released an album in 1975, but I didn't say anything about that......
Ah, 1975 was a great year!
The 2 best albums ever, were released: Physical Graffitti & A Night At The Opera.
The best song ever, is from this year: Bohemian Rhapsody.
One of all times best movies is from 1975: Jaws
When I think of the summer of ´75, 3 songs comes to my mind: "Fox On The Run" by Sweet, "Thanks For The Memories" by Slade and "Listen To What The Man Said" By McCartney/Wings.
I wish, I had discovered KISS in 1975, so I could had Alive! when it was released. But a year went by, before I knew about that band.
This is a good collection of songs. The Angel song sounds almost like Triumph with proggy keyboards. And that Heart album is fantastic. It has such a cool ambiance. Every time I hear it it really takes me to the calm ocean up in the Pacific Northwest, specifically to the morning time. I've never been there, but I feel like I go there when I hear this album.
The Kansas song has nice guitar and bass work, as well as some good fiddle work. Many of Kansas' songs are not radio friendly, and this is one of those. And though the Thin Lizzy song is cool, check out the production difference from the Kansas song.
And finally, Alice Cooper. This is one of those albums that's best when listened to all the way through. But a definite trip back to '75.
Overall, I'd rank these five:
1. Angel
2. Heart
3. Thin Lizzy
4. Alice Cooper
5. Kansas
Nice job.
Angel tops your list! Awesome, didn't expect that.
Very little of Kansas' pre-Leftoverture work is radio friendly, but almost all of it is pretty dang rockin!
No one got the Dick Wagner tie-in on the Cooper tune, wanted to pay homage to such a great geeeeeetarist!
