Cody, Scot and I were only 10 years old but already into great music. I thank my late brother and his awesome album collection!👍😎

[@curlessmania4708]

CODY!! Man 1972 is an insanely stacked year. So much mind blowing music from several big hitters. Thank you for the shout out! Looking forward to our Floyd video, coming soon!!

[@BrockwaysVinylBytes]

The best ones get the shoutouts!!! 🤘

Certainly was a great year for music, I think I would argue that from late 1970 through sometime in mid 1974 was a blazingly glorious half decade for rock music. Props for the Talk album behind you!

Agree 💯 For me, 1972 was fantastic already because the Exile on Main Street, as I've been an incorrigible Stones fan for half a century now. However, 1971, and 1972 gave us Sticky Fingers, Led Zep IV, Santana III...

[@PJprog]

Quite frankly it's just ridiculous the amount of rock classics that came out in this year !!! Great stuff Cody. 👌😍🤘🤘

[@BrockwaysVinylBytes]

Thank you PJ! 😃🤘

[@jeffschielka7845]

Hey Cody! Still getting caught up. Play some YES or Squire today. Chris gone 9 years today. God i miss him SO MUCH❗️❗️❗️🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊😎

[@BrockwaysVinylBytes]

Actually Jeff, if you listen to my show on www.deepnuggets.com tonight at 7:42pm EST we go live with Close To The Edge… dedicated to Chris Squire ❤️ my fave…

[@AldousHuxleysCat]

The day before we got the awful news about Chris I was on vacation near the redwood forest in California. I found myself a little bit lost while driving, I was in an Alpine meadow that if you had told me existed I would not have believed you. I'm in the middle of nowhere and looking around me I can see the main highway miles away. I'm listening to close to the edge and I felt like those words have never made more sense to me. It was such a beautiful place in such wonderful music and I had such a great day exploring a place most people have never considered visiting. I woke the next morning to the horrible news. Thanks for the reminder, time to go put on the fish and think about how much grace and beauty Chris brought into the world.

@AldousHuxleysCat well said ❤️

Such a great year for music. I owned roughly half the albums you selected. Good ear! I had set my alarm for the show, but must've misread the time and missed it by half an hour. Senior year in HS. Hair down the back and dressing like Sgt. Pepper for my school yearbook. We were paragons of racial harmony.

[@BrockwaysVinylBytes]

I would love to see the Sgt Pepper photo of you!!! Hahaha

[@MisterWondrous]

@@BrockwaysVinylBytes It would break your eyes, I'm afraid, and that would impact your drumming if not your skeet shooting. They're saying skeet meat is not very neat. But at least they brought back "neat". They are very busy. But who are they? [cue Twilight Zone theme] (Ask your grammy. You did win one, right?) On to 1934!

[@MikeHF]

You missed the first Captain Beyond album! Superfly by Curtis Mayfield! A tab in the ocean by Nektar, Grand Funk Phoenix

[@danielmoore4693]

For me , TaaB is tied with CttE and Trilogy!

[@BrockwaysVinylBytes]

I can see why! 🤘

It was a great year for music, off slightly from the deluge in 1971 and 1970. It was a year filled with some "classics", but also great albums far more deserving of respect than some hipster picks. The Top Ten are classics by any definition. I bought all these albums within days of release, have played them for 52 years now, still playing them. That's an indelible measure of worth, when you can still find enjoyment in a set of songs, 5 decades later. In that sense, they are the "top" records of the year.
