Episode 3:

Truly and undoubtedly the early '70s ARE the golden age of rock n roll; so many great records.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Brian!

[@TheSpiritofVinyl]

I was just a kid in '73 but that's a great year for music, there's some iconic stuff in there for sure.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Craig! I'm still a kid, just a lot more aches and pains. Cheers!

[@MarkMorris-1962]

So good to have you back, Steve. I'm right with you, fantastic year of music!

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Mark!

[@vikingbrace]

I love that Queen Day at the Races poster behind you. I approached the contest a little differently but if I would have picked just actual year from albums released, 1973 would be in the running for sure. I need to pull out that Nektar album again. Nice entry for the lovely Alex!

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Gary! Your granddaughter must be sleeping. Thanks, I wanted that poster because I saw that tour with Thin Lizzy as the opening act. You can see Thin Lizzy in the bottom right hand corner. Yes, I think its time for you to pull it again......

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

a great year. I was 9! I used to sit and watch Top of the Pops here every Thursday night, surrounded my my drum kit made of cushions and a pair of knitting needles for sticks. happy days 🙂

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Nick! No pots, pans, and wooden spoons? Happy days indeed my friend!

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

@@AisForAliceBisForBob hah - not with my parents no!! they preferred the muffled sound of cushions!

[@MGKBOSTON]

Dominance & Submission is a fun song title. Aladdin Sane is incredible. Brain Salad Surgery is a trip. I like Foghat but don’t have that one. That Montrose debut is perfect. It’s so good to have you back Steve!

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Mike! A banner year no doubt! Cheers!

[@onmyturntable7036]

Nice! I was 6 in '73, and already playing my sister's 45s, much to her annoyance . I played 'Little Willy' 187 times a day-ha! I've come a long way. Great 1973 showings Steve. Those teenage years always hold some great memories. The new wall looks fantastic! 😎🎶🎸

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Ed! "Little Willy" is a good song for a 6 year old, but I wouldn't change stations if it came on in the car tomorrow. Cheers!.

[@onmyturntable7036]

@@AisForAliceBisForBob I still don't...

[@3dimensionsofmusic3D]

Lots of heat that year. 👍. Good luck with the contest Steve.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Greg! Oh yeah, and that was just scratching the surface. Cheers!

[@richards5280]

I was in 3rd grade that year 🤔 F-- I’m old now (just turned 60) 😆 I remember seeing ALL those albums when we went to the BX on base when we lived in Germany at the time. Hell of a lot of classics released that year. Cheers-R

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Richard! Glory days! It was a great year to be turning 17. Cheers!

[@rallstonianmusicreport1975]

Can't go wrong with any year in the 70s, but 73 tops them all! Especially with Sabbath, Gallagher and ZZ Top. Good luck in the contest! I like the wall reboot too. Best, Steve

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Steve!

[@RandyforRoyals]

1973 is a good pick. Muscle of Love does have my favorite Alice Cooper song in Teenage Lament '74. I do have most of those albums. Mott is my favorite Mott The Hoople album. I only had the CD of Dark Side of the Moon but I finally broke down and got the vinyl, just for you. I just picked up Sweet Freedom which will make my next vinyl finds. Great year.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Randy! Glad you got 'Sweet Freedom', which to me is their last great album. It is ridiculous how prolific they were from 71-73 with 4 studio and 1 double live albums. Cheers!

[@AnthonyGambler812]

Hey handsome! I can’t keep my eyes of the Pink Floyd poster in the corner! Wall looks great Steve! You did a great job. Great entry for Alex.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Anthony! Shouldn't you be entertaining company with Kelli right now?

[@AnthonyGambler812]

@ They will get over it! PLUS You’re more interesting! 😜

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

@@AnthonyGambler812 You're right on both accounts.

[@musicisajourney]

What can you say? 1973. That Nektar album is great! Love Secret Treaties. Man, so much good stuff! Noticeably absent: Tales from Topographic Oceans. Ha ha! I know how you feel about that, eh?

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Peter! So true on all points. TFTO makes me wish they had named it 'Tales of Topographic Oceans', because the ACRONYM could've been TOTO. Cheers!

[@EmbryonicRobot]

1973 was a banner year. Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, Bowie, LZ! Excellent.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Brian! Were you even born yet?

[@EmbryonicRobot]

@AisForAliceBisForBob That's a secret.

[@thomaswery3087]

The early 70's were awesome.Didn't have enough money to buy all the great albums that came out.73 I really enjoyed with DSOTM by Floyd,Sweet Freedom by Heep,Goats Head Soup by the Stones so many that year

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Thomas! I agree, wish I had more money back then, but I made up for it with multiple Columbia House memberships. Cheers!

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Steve!! Well done and cool entry to Alex contest and yes "this are the friend you grew up with....." and you really have some grear ones to hang out, lol!!! You can easily choose any 70's year and most of them are cool ones too. Btw i think the wall behind you looks much better with great posters, concert fliers and would love to see a new room tour. cheers and be well

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Cristian! I'll do a room tour per your request sometime this week. Cheers!

[@SteviesVinylCupboard]

73, great choice. I must have drifted off as I didnt see Quadrophenia!!

[@SteviesVinylCupboard]

PS 5:09, still not an acronym 😉

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

@SteviesVinylCupboard Couldn't resist yourself.....

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Can't say whether you drifted off or not, but there was no 'Quadrophenia.' It would've worked better as a single album for me, but I have warmed up to it more in the last 10 years or so. Cheers!

[@SteviesVinylCupboard]

@@AisForAliceBisForBob apologies 🙏

[@SteviesVinylCupboard]

@@AisForAliceBisForBob "single album"!!! I take that back, blasphemy

[@twangersturntable]

Wow 1973 was a hellava year in rock! Not a weak album of the bunch. I mean when one considers what that Wishbone Ash, Muscle Of Love - that concert would've been incredible by the way. "Hello, Hooray! Let the show begin, I've been ready"...so perfect! Talking about your american dream (and it's recruits... you would've been one eh?!! lol!) even Zeps - Houses, had to follow with their previous albums...damn! Bowie, ZZ, Floyd, Great stuff Steve. Was just spinning that Secret Treaties this week. So good. Good luck. Cheers bud! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Mark! A helluva year is correct! All of these still get heavy play from me. Cheers!

[@twangersturntable]

@AisForAliceBisForBob I don't know if I ever asked, but are those your original copies?

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

@@twangersturntable Very few, lost many of those to an old girlfriend......

[@beerandvinyl]

Hey Steve! Thanks so much for the entry. Kindred spirits really - happy to report I have all of these (and love them all) EXCEPT blueprint.. don’t have that! What a time to be alive this would have been. Got your entry down and you’re in the drawing. Thanks brother!

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks! Tomorrow's episode is the one (Albums of the Year) where I'm surprised how few of your picks I have. Cheers!

[@pieface8032]

I actually own a few of these 😅 I'll have to check out some Montrose and I've been meaning to get some Nektar in my collection for quite some time now. Best of luck in the contest Steve 🤞

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Pie! Nektar is a good mind trip. Cheers!

[@TheAuditoryVinyl]

Awesome entry! I owe you an apology, I went with a competitor to make a few shirts. Gary got one as part of a prize package for winning my contest. But it was kind of a last minute thing so I just googled and went with an online deal.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Doug! NO apology needed. Cheers!

[@JackTheMusicGuy]

this makes sense that'd youd pick 1973 because i know how much you love dark side! this was a very good year i think this was my 3rd year that i have the most albums from.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Jack! You know me well! Hope all is fine in your life. Cheers!

[@samstjohn1994]

I like Houses of the Holy better than Physical Graffiti, much to Glen's chagrin.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

I get that, some people think its a bit bloated with a few too many long songs. Thanks Sam!

[@samstjohn1994]

@@AisForAliceBisForBob I too am a bit bloated

[@pieface8032]

I wouldn't worry about Scott, he cries about everything 😢 I'm understanding the channel name now 😅 I'm hoping this comment goes on the previous video as KZbin is playing your 3rd vid now 😩

[@pieface8032]

Damn it 😂

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Scott, such a baby. Doesn't matter where your comment ends up, it all comes out in the wash. Cheers!
