@@uckbee thanks. It's my most addictive Genesis album and among a year with a ton of classic records, it does stand out in a lot of ways. Kind of the perfect length and less being more in a lot of ways.
Great picks. I would pick the first classic Renaissance album "Ashes are burning", Procol Harum-Grand Hotel. Doobie Brothers-The Captain and me. Caravan-For Girls who grow pump in the night
Add to this amazing list: Nazareth: Razamanaz+ Loud n Proud Budgie : never turn your back on a friend Montrose : Montrose Kinks: preservation Act 1 Free: heartbreaker Hawkwind: space ritual Uriah Heep : Live Roxy Music : stranded
Sorry I just discovered you guys. Enjoyed this 1973 thing. Would love to mention, Caravan " For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night. Great stuff, the videos. I mean. By the way I'm from Comber about 8 miles south of Belfast so it's nice to hear Geoff with an accent I recognise.😂👍👍
I may be in the minority here, but I’d love to see some recognition this year for the 50th anniversary of Magma’s third (and most famous) album Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh. It’s the album that launched them into international fame and spread the influence of zeuhl around the world.

Nice to see you giving 'Selling England' its due. 1973's most affecting album, in my opinion.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder, another amazing album from 1973!
Glass house great call, my fav Giant album, amongst the first 6 classic albums 👍🏻
I hate when people say this phrase, but this time it’s the straight up truth: I see MP, I click
Our plan worked!
Mahavishnu Orchestra : Birds of Fire

All of you really need to check out the latest Katatonia album. It is a masterwork.
We have. It'e great!
Another nomination for Renaissance "Ashes Are Burning" from me, second only to "Scheherazade And Other Stories" in this amazing band's catalogue.
Great show again. Always nice to see Mike Portnoy
I had never heard of the Prog Report. When I showed it to my boyfriend, “Omg they found you!!”
Welcome :)
I love listening to Portnoy talk about music.
What can I say....amazing! Thank you so much guys, I enjoyed it very very much!
Great Content! Glad this popped up for me. Remember this year well, loved Yes, Rush, etc.

Nazareth: Razamanaz+ Loud n Proud

A compiled list would be great for reference please
Drinking game: take a shot whenever Mike says Dream Theater covered a song or albums
Goodbye yellow brick road and Quadrophenia are masterpieces, agree 🤘🏻
It Took Rather A Few Listens Till U Finally Liked The Epic Tales From Topographic Oceans/YES From 1973...
Queen also got those stacked vocal harmonies from Uriah Heep
First time I hear Mike talking about Mike Oldfield. Great! I've been wondering for quite some time what his opinion of MO might be.
Roxy Music "For Your Pleasure" should have been in there and Todd Rundgren's "A Wizard A True Star".
Queen also got those stacked vocal harmonies from Uriah Heep g

I suggest Renaissance, Ashes Are Burning. Not their best album, but their sound, their symphonic style was created.
Am I the only one that just can't stand Queen?
Yeah, think so.
