Re: Album of 1974 - Nominate Now!
Late to the party, again, So, most of my options have already been chosen. Which leaves me with Katy Lied (already nominated the Dan for other years), Irish Tour (but the awful keyboards on that take it down a notch) and a few others. However, I will go with :
Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs

Re: Album of 1974 - Nominate Now!
It is a good un mate, and I actually felt that they were more of a rock group in the early days, and the music was more genuine.
I used to have their first nine albums, but kinda went off them a bit once punk, new wave, ska and all that hit the music scene. Plus they were writing a lot of stadium songs "Friends Wiil Be Friends", etc, which I didn't think aligned with the great music they'd done previously.
A Night At The Opera is my favourite, and I actually had to think long and hard between SHA and Queen 2 for 1974. Played all those albums of theirs to death at the time

Dunno about 64, but I saw them at Wakefield Technical College in 1973 - End of term dance (...and I pulled ). I also saw them in Leeds twice about the same era - at the Queens Hall supporting Roxy Music, and at the Fforde Greene.

Re: Album of 1974 - Nominate Now!
It probably would have been my first choice, but I've nominated Crimson before for Discipline, so I'm trying to vary it slightly. Love Starless too. Just need someone to nominate Relayer now...
Re: Album of 1974 - Nominate Now!
I worked in the dental clinic opposite the tech in 1973 Gandalph, on the corner 'tother side of Margaret Street/Bond Street. It was called Bond House, quite an amazing white building with double bay windows and old zig zag cellars. Demolished now
Re: Album of 1974 - Nominate Now!
Saw them many times at pubs in Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Halifax, Huddersfield, etc Swannie. A couple of their initial gigs were free, then they started charging 10p at the door Can't recall the names of the pubs, only venue I can remember is Fforde Green as my other favourite local band Wally played there several times.
Seen most of the bands nominated in the 74 poll so far
Re: Album of 1974 - Nominate Now!
I agree , the early albums were their best particularly the first four which I still listen to ( as well as News of the World ) . I might still nominate Q2 for this poll which is probably my favourite after A Night at the Opera .White Riot wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 6:47 pm It is a good un mate, and I actually felt that they were more of a rock group in the early days, and the music was more genuine.
