The Doors - Morrison Hotel (1970) This was the Doors' second last album with Jim Morrison and contains elements of both the dark psychedelic rock they were for in the 60's and the blues rock style they would base 1971's L.A. Woman around. It's a great album full of underrated Doors songs;

SWEET!
One of the Great Albums of the Decade.
Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" contains one awesome song after another, not a bad track to be found.
Try "TIME":

When I think about some of my favorite songs of the 70's, it is painfully clear that a lot of them don't belong on this thread. Having said that I value the opinions RJ members are willing to share.
One artist that carried a lot of weight back in the day, seriously dudes, was Meat Loaf.
Here's a guy with an outstanding set of pipes, yet ML seemed to cause a split with music fans. It's always been a "love him or hate him" thing with the vast public. I'm in the "love him" crowd but I acknowledge ML's hot/cold, "on again/off again" career.
I like to think of Meat Loaf as the "Gary Busey" of the music industry, if that's an apt comparison, lol.
After all of these years it's fun to think of all the people that discover ML because of the awesome album cover art from the Seventies. From the "Bat Out Of Hell" release comes one of ML's biggest hit songs and, if you can believe this, was widely promoted by a music video long before MTV.

All I can say everybody is that 1973 was still disco free, so if you had caught up to me in high school that year this is the tune that would've been pouring outta my pocket radio.
It dosen't show up on many websites but it deserves a place on RJ,

It's eddstarr's storytime again.
I've always treated music as a universal, humankind's greatest gift. By the time I was in junior high school my musical exposure was about to expand greatly. There's no two ways about it, desegregation's most immediate impact on me was music. My school friends loved to talk music and I became aware that I still had a lot to learn.
Now I can post images and video on RJ and act like it's no big deal.
But this is a big deal for me. What are the odds that a Navy kid growing up in Norfolk, VA listening to "The YES Album" of 1971, in glorious FM Stereo, would survive to tell his new online friends what a revelation YES was for me?
It was as if a door to another dimension had opened up and I was hearing in a new way! I'll never forget my dad walking in on me as I was listening to "The YES Album" and he asked me, "why are you listening to that white boy music?". I can still see him glaring at me like I had transformed into a stranger in his house.
But I'm not like my dad, I couldn't be like him. All I've seen and experienced in the last 50 years has made me so far away from my parents, it's like I have become a stranger to their world and way of thinking.
I'm the kind of man that can still listen to YES and be awed that they rocked my world so long ago, and YES is still with us today!
From the 1971 album, this is the studio cut of their 2-part song.
Part 1 is called "Your Move" with lots of references to a game of chess.
Part 2 is called "All Good People" where YES repeats the same phrase over and over, concluding with one of the most unique endings I've ever heard for a song - progressive fade out with cord drops on each refrain!
Got my imagination 40 years ago!
