Hi Six Bag - Likewise! Didn't want to mention Guy because he's Belgian but original artwork was superb. I've not heard 'Alternative Candidate' but will certainly check it out after your recommendation.

I've just stuck it on the "Today I will be mostly listening to" thread mate. Enjoy
Pretzel Logic and Sheet Music would be my favourites from that year. Despite being a huge Genesis fan at the time, I found Lamb a little erratic with some great tracks and some unforgettable ones.
Bad Company's first album was a good, standard rock album with some classic tracks.
From another genre I'll give a mention to Fullfillingness First Finale by Stevie Wonder.
For the weirder element who could forget Midnight Mushrumps by Gryphon.
My final mention's for Chilli Willi and The Red Hot Peppers, Bongos Over Balham.
The best album of 74 is in fact Hergest Ridge by Mike Oldfield...possibly in his top three best ever works. If you havent heard his latest, Return to Ommadawn then youre in for a real treat.
Those of note.......
Phaedra by Tangerine Dream featuring the late Edgar Froese Autobahn by Kraftwerk...way ahead of the game these boys Rampant by Nazerath Spyglass Guest by Greenslade Relayer by Yes (one of their best in my opinion) The Lamb lies down on Broadway by Genesis Rush by Rush.... There's the rub by Wishbone Ash Country Life by Roxy Music
Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) is possibly one of the greatest albums ever made and easily his best work IMO.
Prog was still at its height. Peter Hammill - The Silent Corner And The Empty Stage, folks Also, don't forget Renaissance - Turn Of The Cards
yeah and Relayer is really good. but in my wonderful prog revisionist world, VDGG and Renaissance are what you think Yes, Genesis and Crimson are: gods
Arguably yes, although I for one had already begun to detect a whiff of "Emperor's new clothes" as some of it's proponents started upon blind alleys that ended up their own arsehole before eventually having their pomposity destroyed by Punk. It's an odd genre Prog isn't it. Unlike most musical genres which are defined by a particular musical style, Prog was a collection of disparate artists linked only by a common desire to experiment and push the boundaries. My particular favourites are mostly from the very beginning, but you have some good choices there Leuth
