 | The Man Who Sold the World by David Bowie
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.11 David Bowie comes alive. No hits here which partially explains it's greatness.
|
 | Full House by Fairport Convention
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $8.29 Fairport really blossomed after Denny left. Their stellar musicianship and love of British folk then took center stage.
|
 | John Barleycorn Must Die by Traffic
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $5.49 Traffic's finest. Other than the title track this album is not folk-rock, as it's all too often described. Rock, funk, jazz and a smidgen of folk color this album. THe British equivalent to the Band.
|
 | Stage Fright by The Band
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $6.49 The quintessential roots rock and americana band as they blend rock, folk, country, R&B, funk and jazz. The (North) American equivalent to Traffic.
|
 | Gentle Giant by Gentle Giant
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.94 Their debut just scratches the surface of their ambitions.
|
 | Benefit by Jethro Tull
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $5.79 Their third album finds Tull evolving into a more guitar-based rock outfit. 'To Cry You a Song' is greatly overlooked but should be considered a classic.
|
 | Trespass by Genesis
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.86 Another band in their early growth stages. This record clearly relegates their '69 debut as meaningless and irrelevant.
|
 | Moondance by Van Morrison
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.98 Between 1968 and 1974 Van was the Man. Take your pick from his many releases from those years and you won't be disappointed.
|
 | Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $5.70 It's difficult to choose a best Zeppelin record but chances are it's I, II, III or IV.
|
 | Home by Procol Harum
Buy used from: $6.87 An oft-times overlooked record because it falls on the heels of two of their classics; A SALTY DOG and SHINE ON BRIGHTLY.
|
 | Lola vs. the Powerman & the Money-Go-Round, Pt. 1 by The Kinks
Buy used from: $33.99 More whimsy and unconventional rock by the brothers Davies.
|
 | His Band and the Street Choir by Van Morrison
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.29 The lesser of his two '70 releases. Still pretty good.
|
 | Wishbone Ash by Wishbone Ash
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.50 Twin guitar boogie and blues rock. They'd progress incrementally in the next two years.
|
 | Question of Balance by Moody Blues
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.00 Some harder rocking moments drive this clasic release.

Listmania!
