Our selection of Rock records released in the 70s, year by year

This month, let's celebrate 70s' Rock music.
Ambitious project isn't it ? Here at CDandLP, we like challenges ! And 70s : what a great challenge indeed...
From the legendary ​ Let it Be to the famous ​Highway to Hell along with Dark Side of the Moon​, the 70s gave birth to many unforgettable albums. We decided to select some of the albums which have gone down Rock​ history.


7Os sadly starts with the death of ​​Jimi Hendrix followed by Janis Joplin. With them, Rock music is starting to change, new genres spring up with the lessening of the artistic freedom that defined Rock in the beginning.

The early 1970's : LPs that announced the beginning of a new era



It is in 1970 that ​The Beatles​, produce their last studio album,Let it Be. The same year, the solo albums by Paul McCartney, Georges Harrison and John Lennon come to light with respectively McCartney,​ All Things Must Pass and Plastic Ono Band.




Year 71, the Forever 27 club regretfully welcomes Jim Morrison. Still,​ The Doors publish their ​L.A. Woman .
​The ​ ​Rolling Stones ​enter the legend with their album ​ ​Sticky Fingers ​. The ​Who assert themselves with ​ Who's next .​ And ​Them gift us with their In Reality ​, a real gem in British Rock​.

Year 72 : a great start with Harvest ​by ​ ​Neil Young , followed by the legendary ​ ​The rise and the fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars by ​ ​David Bowie​ . The same year ​ ​Lou Reed delights us with his Transformer Glam Rock ​​ ​Transformer ​.

Year 73: ​Iggy and the Stooges​ transformed, offer us ​Raw Power​ ​ preparing the way to the Punk movement. Pink Floyd shows us ​The Dark Side of the Moon ​ and Lynyrd Skynyrd​ unchains his ​Free Bird​ .



Year 74, Ten Years After shares with us their genuine rock with ​ Positive Vibrations ​and ​ Rory Gallagher​ spreads up his exalted energy on stage along his famous Irish Tour: 74 ​.

Hard Rock continued to rise thanks to legend records



Year 75, ​ Led Zeppelin​ sketches a ​Physical Grafitti​ . et ​Kiss confirms they're fully ​Alive ! It's also in 74 that ​ ​Queen ​ invites us to ​​A Night At The Opera ​​.

Year 76, ​​Aerosmith​ ​ is ​ ​​Rocks ​ and​ ​ ​​The Eagles​ ​ sing Hotel California ​​Hotel California ​.


During year 77​​ ​​Television composes ​ ​​Marquee Moon​ ​ and​ ​​Iggy Pop collaborates with ​David Bowie​ for two solo albums: ​Idiot and ​Lust For Life .


At the dawn of year 78, ​ ​Van Halen ​and ​ Dire Straits offer us their eponymous album ​ ​Van Halen and Dire Straits .

The last year of the decade is marked by the album ​ Highway to Hell ​by’​ AC/DC ​and the album ​ Lovedrive​ by ​ Scorpions ​.




Of course our selection is way too short for this fantastically rich decade, full of unforgettable albums and songs. A decade that brought to light Hard Rock /​ Heavy Metal​, ​ Punk and New Wave ​.

Bonjour,

Quelle belle initiative, mais la liste serait vraiment trop longue.
S'il fallait en choisir 3, je voterai pour Led Zeppelin I qui est une pure tuerie, Sticky Fingers des Rolling Stones et le What's Going On de Marvin Gaye.
On pourrait ajouter London Calling des Clash, les albums II, III, IV, House of the Holy et Physical Graffitti de Led Zeppelin, Paranoid de Black Sabbath, les 3 albums d'Hendrix, le Wish You Where Here des Pink Floyd, Abbeye Road des Beatles, le Made In Japan de Deep Purple, Band On The Run des Wings, Fleetwood Mac, Selling England by the Pound de Genesis, Alladin Sane et Ziggy Stardust de Bowie, Let There Be Rock et Powerage d'ACDC ...
N'oublions pas le rock français avec Trust et ses 2 premiers albums
etc... etc...
