I always like Tapestry by Carole King, Tusk by Fleetwood Mac, and of course the first six Eagles albums.

      I had never heard Three Imaginary Boys. The Cure were way ahead of their time. I can't believe that was 70s.

    Led Zeppelin - IV Boston - Boston Queen - A Night at the Opera Obligatory plug for Pink Floyd, the 70s gave us Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, and Animals - all fantastic albums.

      Led Zeppelin IV is such an iconic album. Pink Floyd were pioneers!

      David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist of all time. I don't mean he is the best, he is just my favorite. I really like how he plays and his sound.

    I don't listen to too much music from before the late 80's/90's, but Blues For Allah by The Grateful Dead is a very nice album. Help On The Way / Slipknot and Franklin's Tower are great tracks off...

        You seem to have my kind of taste in music, and have given me a few new bands to check out. I've not heard of Soft Machine, Alphataurus or Caravan before!
