[iaresee]

We got the best Beatles album in 1970 as well. And it was a double album at that!

And the best Tom Waits album came out in '75: Nighthawks at the Diner

I really like songs that sort of break the mold. Here's one that's been covered very well by some, but I can't get around the original.

Those crazy canucks were turning out the good stuff in the 70s too!

Gordon Lightfoot was in fine form:



April Wine was apparently my first concert in '79 but I don't remember:



Bruce Cockburn released one of my favorite Canadian folk tunes in the 70s:



And I loved playing this 45 from my dad's collection:

CSNY got their last album out in '70. It has a song that I didn't understand until much later in my life.

BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT THE BAND! Because they're one of the greatest bands to ever have been and they basically came and went in the 70s.

They had hits with Dylan that got banned because they were about sex:



They wrote epic tales of unimaginable depth:



The wrote one of the best three part harmonies the universe has ever known:



They made a creek famous



They made Neil Young sound ever better



Joni Mitchell TOO!



And when I can find it, I'll show you that Rick Danko was a better singer than Van Morrison...hold tight...

Talking about great albums... Hard to pick any particular song.
