Regarding the year 1974, I really can't come up with any landmark albums that came out that year. Even the Rolling Stones, The Who and Led Zeppelin sat out that year. Bob Dylan released a meh album that year. Queen, Neil Young and Yes also released meh albums too. And that's when Paul McCartney started to suck badly. All of the great bands that emerged in the sixties were still in transition to either becoming seventies burnouts or bad parodies of themselves. 1974 was a bit after hippie flower power died out, but a little bit early for punk and the second British Invasion. Classic middle child syndrome. Just about the only decent album I can think of from 1974 is Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark, which is still a ridiculously overrated album for what it was. Yes, it's notable for being Joni's breakthrough in the jazz-pop realm, but it's certainly not her best collection of songs- that would be 1975's Hissing of Summer Lawns. |

My least favorite Chris song is easily "So Excited" I pretty much hate it, an I can't say that about any others.

I agree with the person who cited "Hollywood" as a cheesy '80s sitcom theme.
I am no longer friends with jbrownsjr, who cited the great "Temporary One" as a loser.

I love Mystified.
Hollywood is my favorite song on the album. I like that song better than Nights in Estoril. I like So Excited, but recognize it for what it is. I consider it my guilty pleasure. Think About Me is my favorite Christine song on the album, but Honey Hi comes in second. I wish there had been some way to get her and Mick centerstage together with the other players almost in shadow and the drummer and singer could have done this little treasure intimately, almost as a duet. The fact that the words are so sparse and basic seems to make the simple message penetrate more, the rhythmic beat tapping feelings that dwell beyond the grasp of words. Actually, it reminds me of a calypso or reggae song, in that sense. I have to say that the songs I dislike aren't necessarily bad songs. I just grew wary of them due to the repetition. Oh Daddy, for example. If that song had gone away and left me in peace, I would never think to disparage it, as I never really have a bad word to say about Sugar Daddy. But unlike the reclusive Sugar, Oh followed me around and stalked me for decades, 'til I just feel: yuck. Michele |

Again I ask: Were you even THERE in '74 or are you looking back on the year as some "historical reference point"?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 PERSONAL "Landmark" albums of that era 73-76 (if my chronology is correct): Paul McCartney/Wings - Band On The Run Paul McCartney/Wings - Venus & Mars John Lennon - Mind Games John Lennon - Walls & Bridges George Harrison - Dark Horse Ringo Starr - Ringo Ringo Starr - Goonight Vienna Fleetwood Mac - Penguin Fleetwood Mac - Mystery To Me Fleetwood Mac - Heroes Are Hard To Find Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac Buckingham Nicks Deep Purple - Burn Deep Purple - Who Do We Think We Are? Deep Purple - Stormbringer Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic Steely Dan - Katy Lied Steely Dan - Royal Scam CSNY - Four Way Street Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean Blvd The Who - Who By Numbers Rolling Stones - It's Only Rock & Roll Rolling Stones - Goat's Head Soup Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies Alice Cooper - Muscle Of Love Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffitti Bob Dylan - Planet Waves Bob Dylan - Before The Flood Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks Leon Russell - Leon Live Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Welcome Back My Friends... Poco - Crazy Eyes Poco - Cantamos Eagles - Desperado Eagles - On The Border Eagles - One Of These Nights And, more that I don't have time to list. To me, those early/mid 70's were a "cup runneth over" with great music...'74 being right there in the middle of it all.

Hmm...I was just thinking that too chiliD! Ok so Planet Waves has a few not so great songs but Before The Flood Was Great... Plus Planet Waves had Forever Young and The Wedding Song (which I had at my own wedding ceremony). |

And for what it's worth, I was alive, albeit very young. But even still, AM radio was definitely a part of my daily life from early on, so, yes, I did experience this year firsthand. |
