Ok...I see that we're not even in the same universe regarding
Heroes..., so it's best we just "agree to disagree"...
Again, we're not ever going to be in the same ballpark on '74, either (and especially in regards to your inflammatory remark about Sir Paul!!
). Thought we might have a meeting point with Joni and
Court & Spark , but you shot that down before the sentence was finished.
Nope, the Stones released
It's Only Rock & Roll in '74, Zeppelin didn't release anything because they were touring the world in '74, Deep Purple was prolific that year with
Burn AND
Stormbringer...John Lennon released
Walls & Bridges....and Dylan?
Again I ask: Were you even THERE in '74 or are you looking back on the year as some "historical reference point"? Because some of your comments really don't seem to come from a place of somebody who LIVED in that era...that they're from somebody looking back on a time before their own.
I graduated HS in '73, so that whole 1973-76 span just blends into one big blob of time for me (even moreso the longer time passes)...I don't really even count individual years in that era...for me, that was MY era musically
