Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs - 1974

[@rockforever755]

You're right!!!✌️✌️✌️

[@thekivster]

That definitely should have been on here

[@Alan-v4q]

The Hollies had a massive Hit with " The Air That I Breathe" in 1974. It is one of many songs Albert Hammond wrote, which other people made into huge Hits. When it comes to song writers, Albert Hammond is a God.

[@Alan-v4q]

BTO blew my mind with their catchy, tuneful Hard Rock. Check out "Blue Moanin'" and "Giving it all Away" 1. "Not Fragile" C.F. Turner Turner 4:06 2. "Rock Is My Life, and This Is My Song" Randy Bachman Randy Bachman 5:00 3. "Roll on Down the Highway" Turner, Rob Bachman Turner 3:58 4. "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" Randy Bachman Randy Bachman 3:54 5. "Free Wheelin'" Blair Thornton instrumental 3:45 6. "Sledgehammer" Randy Bachman Randy Bachman, Turner 4:34 7. "Blue Moanin'" Turner Turner 3:44 8. "Second Hand" Randy Bachman Randy Bachman 3:24 9. "Givin' It All Away" Thornton Randy Bachman, Turner 3:49 From their previous album in 1973 "Takin' Care of Business" rates as one of the most complete Rock songs ever written and recorded.

[@Alan-v4q]

Wow!!! SWEET, SLADE, SUZI QUATRO, KISS, ROLLING STONES. BOWIE's " Diamond Dogs" is a true masterpiece with an apocalyptic theme running through it. "Rebel Rebel" could be my favourite song of all time. On other days it's "Riders on the Storm" Friends and relatives tell me that I have hundreds of favourite songs. Another contender is "Falling" by Matthew Sweet from his 1993 album "Altered Beast"

[@rockforever755]

Thanks for the interesting comment!!!🎸🥁🎤✌️

[@jaydspace_]

1974 was a good year for a Rock music ✌️👍🤟

[@rockforever755]

You're right!!! Thanks for watching and comment!!!✌️✌️✌️

[@thes7venthstranger]

Makes me happy seeing Sparks twice (I love Sparks sm)

[@slowpawstevet3676]

not a bad year!

[@rockforever755]

That's right!!! Thanks for watching and comment!!! 🎸💥✌️

[@Mick_Ts_Chick]

There were some great albums on here! I'm glad to see you like Grand Funk RR, BTO, and George Harrison. I would have put my #1 as Sweet Fanny Adams, and ranked Bad Co and Desolation Blvd higher on my own list. The 70s was a damn fine era for rock!👍🎉💥

[@rockforever755]

It is true 💯that the 70s were the best years for the development of rock music. Different styles of rock music, many different new rock bands. I am very pleased that we can comment on our thoughts about our favorite bands!!! Thanks for watching and comment!!!👍🎸🥁🎤✌️

[@Mick_Ts_Chick]

@@rockforever755 I really enjoy your videos and look forward to them. 😀

[@rockforever755]

Thanks!!!✌️✌️✌️

[@t_albino]

Great video and channel! You've got a great taste in music, I've gotta check some of these picks out. Someone else mentioned, but I'd also point it out again, Queen's album is 'Sheer Heart Attack'. Killer Queen was the lead single off it. It would be my no. 1 of '74! Definitely one that should make the list is Betty Davis' 'They Say I'm Different'! Heavy funk/rock/blues bangers sung by one of the gutsiest and dazzling female vocalists ever - she and her band could definitely knock half of these rock dudes out of the park!

[@rockforever755]

Thanks for watching and comment!!!

[@edljnehan2811]

​@rockforever75 I agree and I told you before you're excellent at this my friend . I have or I've had probably 90% of the albums that you show on the 1970s list 😊5

[@petermildren5326]

Great effort. Well done.

[@rockforever755]

Thanks for watching and comment!!!🎤🥁🎸✌️

[@markburns-williamson9723]

Queen's third album is called 'Sheer Heart Attack ' ...not Killer Queen! But along with Queen II made 74 a great year for them 🎤🎸

[@olavirannisto3552]

I think Joni Mitchell: Court and Sparks, King Crimson: Red, Neil Young: On the Beach, Bobby Bland: Dreamer deserve a place on the list.

[@edljnehan2811]

I said the same thing he really needed Joni Mitchell Court and Spark😊

[@Driven2Beers]

A good number of freshman and sophomore albums here. Good to see Priest's, Rush's, and Kiss' first forays into legendariness! (Although I would have liked to see _Fly to the Rainbow_ by the Scorpions included.)

[@kfrelander]

Where was “Toys in the Attic” and “One of These Nights”? They were both from 1975

[@rockforever755]

And this is 1974!!!✌️

[@Nac017]

Rock Lives Forever!! 👍🏻🎸

[@rockforever755]

Forever!✌️✌️✌️

[@АнатолийРудь-э2ф]

What s grand collection of pure nuggets!!

[@sunrisesunrise8064]

Очень хорошие у тебя рейтинги.приятно было увидеть джорди,пусть и на 30 месте.очень недооценненый альбом.для меня это лучший альбом в истории рок музыки

[@rockforever755]

Да ты прав недооценённый альбом , в те давние времена я слушал его на равне с BTO Not Fragile!!!✌️✌️✌️

[@MosherBear]

You got the Queen title wrong; it's Sheer Heart Attack, not the second track on that album.

[@rockforever755]

You're right! Very good observation!!! You are the first to notice the mistake!!!👍

[@Matty0923]

Love Rush's debut album

[@rockforever755]

Cool album, you're right!!!

[@pechondelgado]

That Camel album is great!

[@mauricecarrig3019]

How sparks are ahead of desolation bolavard sweet

[@Alan-v4q]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The mighty QUO in at #44!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some QUO fans say that this is their 'best' album. Well, it is a bloody great Hard Rock album, that's for sure. It is predominantly written by Alan Lancaster & Rick Parfitt, their Bass player and Rhythm Guitarist. This how Rock is meant to be played. Even though I'm very biased, I rate STATUS QUO as the best Band in history. They have 33 studio albums, 98% of them are very good. "I wrote a Rockin' song I'm gonna sing it at the station" "I'll finish all the words when I reach my destination" Lyrics from "Slow Train" on the "QUO" album.

[@rockforever755]

Thanks for comment!!!🎸🥁🎤✌️

[@edljnehan2811]

Create list I owned most of those however I would have definitely had Joni Mitchell Court and Spark that would have made an even 70 for your list😊

[@Luke-1296]

Wizzards introducing eddy and the falcons deserves a spot on this list

[@jamesblanshard9468]

Diamond Dogs ,Late for the Sky ,Dixie Chicken ,Raw Power ,Blood on the Tracks, Zuma ,On the Beach ,The Smoker you drink the Player you get ,Roxy and Elsewhere

[@rockforever755]

Thanks for watching and your list!!!✌️✌️✌️

[@derekroberts6654]

That Queen album is called “Sheer Heart Attack” not “Killer Queen” that’s just a song from it.

[@vtaro5354]

Good list. I might have gone with "Suicidal Man" as the highlighted song from Heep's Wonderworld.

[@Oenloveslife]

Zappa Apostrophe and King Crimson Red can't be below ELO, Nazareth, Kiss, Sparks, Slade, The Sweet, or Stormbringer (a weaker-than usual Deep Purple album), or I'm going to have to commit Hari-Kari. On the other hand, Mirage, Relayer, Lamb, and BTO do deserve to be up there 😁

[@johneasler9967]

Grand Funk Railroad!!!

[@mikejhennessy509]

Wings - Band on the Run??

[@BG-id2cv]

Bay City Rollers? Really? I would rather have the Brotherhood Of Man's "Good Things Happening" (JOKING) or even "James Last Live" (JOKING AGAIN!) or possibly May Bygraves' "Singalongaxmas" (NOT JOKING!). How about these? There's The Rub - Wishbone Ash. One of the greatest guitar albums EVER recorded. It's monumental! Power And The Glory - Gentle Giant....a masterpiece. Hamburger Concerto - Focus.......their best album as voted by many aficionados of contemporary music i.e. Prog Archives. Horslips - Dancehall Sweethearts....give it a listen, it's brilliant. Warchild way too low in this ranking IMHO.

[@tsitracommunications2884]

Yay, 3 dog night

[@СергейСауткин]

Killer Queen is SP.

[@jacquesfontaine8146]

Slade et the sweet ; des groupes rock ? Je ne suis pas d'accord ; ils prennent la place de vrais groupes hard, dommage car j'écoute avec assiduité vos classements..

[@petercena9497]

Crime of the Century easily the best of a mediocre year for music. Missing - Past, Present and Future - Al Stewart

[@taquitoperez3311]

Red, Mirage...???

[@antoniogalianojerez9942]

Absolutely surprising that, if you love crime of the century (so do I), you think that 1974 was a mediocre year for music, since it was the year of red and the lamb lies down on Broadway, easily two of the five best records ever made (selling england by the pound 1973, animals 1977, the wall 1979)

[@GuyPlatteau-xy2sr]

Classement nul 0 bidon n'importe quoi stop les bêtises ( Guy platteau Marseille France)
