Sweet - Desolation Boulevard was released by RCA in Europe and Capitol in United States, Canada and Japan. Only 3 songs was on both. The European version had: The Six Teens, Solid Gold Brass, Turn It Down, Medusa, Lady Starlight, Man With The Golden Arm, Fox On The Run, Breakdown and My Generation (Who cover). The Capitol version: Ballroom Blitz, The Six Teens , No You Don't, AC DC, I Wanna Be Committed, Sweet F.A., Fox On The Run, Set Me Free, Into The Night and Solid Gold Brass. So the Capitol version are more like a compilation of Sweet Hits. 5 of the songs are from Sweet Fanny Adams.
Great show, here’s my Top 5: 1) Mahavishnu Orchestra - Apocalypse 2) Return To Forever - Where Have I Known You From Before 3) Earth, Wind, & Fire - Open Our Eyes (1974) 4) Weather Report - Mysterious Traveller 5) Funkadelic - Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On

The greatness of Secret Treaties is not the quality of each individual song per se, it's how they work together as an integral whole. ST is a monumental suite where one track segues seamlessly into the next , where drama is building and building culminating in the ice cold twin attack of Flaming telepaths / Astronomy .
This is the best HVS episode I've seen for a long while. It seemed like real HVS. The banter and vibe from classic episodes was back. Only missed Chris Alo & Nick.
I made a 1974 playlist for my wife's 50th bday party back in March...had 85 songs it...was so good I had to keep it! Got a lotta props for it. Great year for music.
Hunter/Wagner are sheer perfection on Rock'n'Roll Animal. '74 was jammed packed with stellar albums. I'll throw Brian Eno's Here Come The Warm Jets in there too.................Love it when Ralph rips it up..he's my favorite.
Really great show hopefully a follow up with ‘75,76 and so on will be in future shows. Being 14 in 1974 these albums mentioned really set the path I’ve been on for 50 years..

Never realized how many great hard rock albums came out of 1974. Would love to see a show where HVS votes on Best Year for Hard Rock 0 - either the entire 70s decade or one show for the early 70s (1970-1974) and another for the late 70s (1975-1979). Great show!
Holy crap... no one with Crime of the Century by Supertramp. Not even honourable mention. Only one of the greatest and perfect albums of all time. Sold more than 12 million.
@@independenceltd. Supertramp has sold almost 75 million albums. Breakfast in America was 30ish million and Crime of the Century was over 12 million. Crime sold over a million copies in Canada alone.
@@soylentgreendip According to Wikipedia you're right, a million in Canada but the highest anywhere else is half a million in US, they have a world total far less than 12 million, they also have Breakfast at about 20 million worldwide.

@@DarkSideOfTheMoule Recently beefed up my Horslips collection with the box More Than You Can Chew (35 disks!). This band really put out TONS of great music! DS is pretty good but just barely makes my Horslips top 10
@@wolf1977 Wow! That sounds a pretty massive box set. I only have The Tain, Dancehall Sweethearts and the Live album. I only discovered them quite recently while on a quest to find music that fused Irish traditional music and rock (along the lines of Thin Lizzy's Black Rose and Whiskey In A Jar).
@@DarkSideOfTheMoule If I'm honest I tend to stay away from their more traditional-sounding stuff but that still leaves PLENTY of great music. Other (to me) great albums: Short Stories Tall Tales, The Man Who Built America, Aliens, The Book Of Invasions...BTW Thin Lizzy's one of my fave all time bands & Black Rose my fave TL album (Gary Moore!)
I agree with the majority of those picks. Purple, Rush, Kiss, BTO...of course! Honourable Mentions: WAR CHILD - JETHRO TULL CRIME OF THE CENTURY - SUPERTRAMP
All of theses are great and its a matter of mood vs ranking for me: It's Only Rock 'n Roll (The Stones) - If You Really Want to be My friend is 2 minutes too long Nightmares and Other Tales (Jay Geils Band) - only fault is the cover Funky Judge Get Your Wings (Aerosmith ) - only track I don't dig is Spaced Kiss debut - It was a mistake putting Kiss back in the studio to add Kissin Time Hotter than Hell (Kiss) - never been able to get into Goin' Blind Second Helping (Lynyrd Skynyrd) - pretty close to perfect Bad Company - amazing debut Rampant ( Nazareth ) - Strange sounding production, buts one of their best
This is one of best panels ever. Highly enjoyable and fun show. Great that Ryan is high on Wonderworld. It's one of my favorite Heep albums. Good to see all the Kiss accolades as well. Butch, Steve, Canz and Jim's return was an excellent surprise. Smoking show for sure. 🤘🤘🤘

My favorite album from 1974 is Burn by Deep Purple because of the Mark III lineup with David Coverdale as vocalist and Glenn Hughes on bass guitar too. Pete should be really happy about that! Deep Purple is your favorite band, right, Pete, still?

I personally really enjoy KISS. I've seen four of their farewell tours (all different years, LOL). They had put together some great rock anthem songs. I enjoyed all the albums all the way up to through Revenge, except Music from "The Elder." I've been waiting for Music from "The Elder" to grow on me like it's supposed to, but it hasn't yet. They always put me in a good mood.
I turned 14 in 1974 and my 13 year old friend Johnny and I were huge Mott The Hoople fans. His father dropped us off at The Spectrum in Philly ( our first big concert experience) to see Edgar Winter Group on The Shock Treatment tour( Derringer, Hartman, Ruff backing band). We attended though to see Mick Ralph’s playing middle a lot in Bad Company on the first tour. They were good but both of us commiserated afterwards about “ why would he leave MTH for this..?!”. We didn’t know the songs from the debut yet and learned to like it. Checked out Free as well.

RED - King Crimson (EG) 25. QUO - Status Quo (Mercury) **And I just wanna say, "ROCK ON, RALPH!!" Standing up strong for one of the greatest bands ever, KISS of the 1970s! Love the way you "defend," my man! Marc ⚡ re: SWEET! Have loved them since '75, when I got the "US" version of Desolation Blvd. & eventually the fantastic "Give Us a Wink" LP. Anyway, that USA release of the LP is the superior record! Reason: b/c it's a "combination" of the great 'Sweet Fanny Adams' album, plus the UK version of Desolation. The best, catchiest tunes from each. Kinda like AC/DC's int. HIGH VOLTAGE was. AND! you also get the 'vastly superior' 1975 A-side redux version of "Fox On The Run" (no comparison). So, that's why you see the different tracklistings. You just had to know Sweet (and their releases) then, to realize this. p.s. "Wonderworld" is a lame record. And I like Uriah Heep. There's a couple decent songs, but as a whole LP it's "meh.." at best. Disappointment. Nice cover though 😎 Finally, I forgot "Bad Company," Frampton's "Something's Happening" (the Frampton LP that was held up is from 1975) and "BTO" when I put this list together. Just wanted to say that they're all good to excellent LPs, and probably should be part of my list up there.
Great topic - As usual I post prior to watching. Don't know how many albums you selected so I did ten. Not in any particular order. Keep up the great work Peter and crew. Deep Purple - Burn Queen - Queen II Queen - Sheer Heart Attack Aerosmith - Get Your Wings Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs Bad Company - Bad Company Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Welcome Back My Friends...... Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Not Fragile Linda Ronstadt - Heart Like a Wheel Super honorable mentions - Sweet - Sweet Fanny Adams Kiss - Kiss, Hotter Than Hell Kansas - Kansas
53:20 My little brother got the same collection of Kiss back in '76. That was so cool. It had the 1st 3 albums. I'm pretty sure it was cheaper to get them that way than to get the 3 albums individually.
We remember Grand Funk Railroad in Michigan. My grandpa was a fireman in Flint, Michigan back in the day always told me he held Mark Farner when he was just a baby
Chris' pick of Bowie's Diamond Dogs is an inspired choice. It's a really interesting album because it started out as a concept album based on Orwell's 1984 and there is a dystopian theme running through the lyrics. I love the 'Theme From Shaft'-style wah wah guitar on the track 1984 from the album. Bowie actually played a lot of the guitar parts himself rather than Mick Ronson (who was busy with other projects). Lou Reed's Rock & Roll Animal is pretty cool too as it's interesting to hear Hunter and Wagner totally reinvent those songs in a hard rock style. When I saw Lou Reed perform his Berlin album at the Royal Albert Hall in 2008 I finally got to see Steve Hunter live and he kicked a**!
Rush first played the US in Lansing Michigan on 5/18/74 with John Rutsey on drums. The Pittsburgh show was in August of 74 and was Neil's first show with Rush.
Deep Purple - Stormbringer. Queen - Sheer Heart Attack. Kool & the Gang - Light of Worlds. Curtis Mayfield - Got to Find a Way. Weather Report - Mysterious Traveller.
Glad to see Budgie get some air time. I saw them at Jaxx Nightclub in Springfield, Virginia in the early 2000s. Raven opened for them. I have some live recordings from the 70s from Milwaukee…St. Louis…San Antonio.
Kiss - Hotter Than Hell Deep Purple - Burn Rolling Stones - It's Only Rock And Roll Funkadelic - Standing On The Verge of Getting It On UFO - Phenomenon
1. Supertramp - Crime of the Century 2. Queen II 3. David Bowie - Diamond Dogs 4. Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado 5. Blue Öyster Cult - Secret Treaties
Queen - Sheer Heart Attack (yes, and also Queen II) Kiss (self-titled) (yes, and also Hotter Than Hell) Budgie - In for the Kill Rush (self-titled) David Bowie - Diamond Dogs And a great fusion one from that year: Mysterious Traveler from Weather Report!
Interesting note on the band Sweet, here in England they’ve appeared several times including last week at Rebellion Punk festival alongside the likes of GBH, Subhumans and UK Subs which is both lines up with Count Ralph’s taste and backs up Butch comment that they’re a lot heavier than people give them credit for. 🤘
Good to see Butch back for this one! And it was also great to see The Count (as well as Jim and the rest of the crew) come to Kiss' defense after they were dragged thru the mud on the previous episode. Like someone said, it's no use trying to "convert" someone at this point, but the way they often get outright dismissed as a joke etc is not only unfair, but inaccurate. Aside from The Beatles, they likely inspired more kids to pick up guitars or a pair of drumsticks or even stand in front of their bedroom mirrors and dream of being rock stars than anyone. And yeah - nothing beats "Burn" in 1974!!!
Interestingly enough, a couple days ago, I was wondering when Butch was coming back to the Hudson Valley Squares. He and the crew did not disappoint tonight! Here's my five: 1. Queen - 'Queen II' (my favorite Queen album) 2. Rush - 'Rush' (I love the Zeppelin influences and how different it sounds from 'Fly By Night' and onwards) 3. Deep Purple - 'Burn' (David Coverdale sounds phenomenal and it's one of my favorite album covers ever) 4. Aerosmith - 'Get Your Wings' (I love "Pandora's Box" and "Lord of the Thighs") 5. Lynyrd Skynyrd - 'Second Helping' (it's not my favorite of theirs, but I freaking love "The Ballad of Curtis Loew")
Very cool to see Butch and Steve back on! Such an awesome year for music. I'll toss out some great ones that didn't get mentioned: Supertramp - Crime of the Century Eloy - Floating Wishbone Ash - There's the Rub Neil Young - On the Beach Høst - På Sterke Vinger King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Solar Fire (& The Good Earth) Trettioåriga Kriget - Trettioåriga Kriget Gentle Giant - The Power and the Glory Mountain - Twin Peaks Arti + Mestieri - Tilt Biglietto per L'Inferno -Biglietto per L'Inferno Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets (& Taking Tiger Mountain [By Strategy]) Hero - Hero Premiata Forneria Marconi - L'Isola di Niente Quella Vecchia Locanda - Il Tempo Della Gioia Renaissance - Turn of the Cards The Viola Crayola - Music: Breathing of Statues Jethro Tull - War Child Zappa / Mothers - Roxy & Elsewhere Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom Alusa Fallax - Intorno Alla Mia Cattiva Educazione Aquelarre - Brumas Badfinger - Wish You Were Here Barclay James Harvest - Live David Bowie - David Live Climax - Gusano Mecánico Comus - To Keep From Crying Delirium - III: Viaggio negli Arcipelaghi del Tempo Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado Epitaph - Outside the Law Focus - Hamburger Concerto Groundhogs - Solid Gryphon - Red Queen to Gryphon Three Peter Hammill - The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage (& In Camera) Herbie Hancock - Thrust Hatfield and the North - Hatfield and the North Ibis - Sun Supreme Invisible - Invisible Lucifer's Friend - Banquet Mahavishnu Orchestra - Apocalypse Neil Merryweather - Space Rangers Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark Os Mutantes - Tudo foi feito pelo Sol Nektar - Down to Earth (& Sunday Night at the London Roundhouse) Mike Oldfield - Hergest Ridge Omega - 200 Years After the Last War Todd Rundgren - Todd Santana - Borboletta Som Nosso de Cada Dia - Snegs The Spirit of Christmas - Lies to Live By Tangerine Dream - Phaedra Three Man Army - Three Man Army Two Triumvirat - Illusions on a Double Dimple Wigwam - Being Stevie Wonder - Fullfillingness' First Finale ...plus hundreds more. Can't list them all! I'm sure some of those would have been brought up if a few of you guys hadn't been avoiding prog. Great show as always, thanks guys! Cheers 🤘🤘
1. Quo - Status Quo 2. Burn - Deep Purple ( I was born on the very same day this album came out in the UK) 3. Relayer - Yes 4. Secret Treaties - Blue Öyster Cult 5. Queen II - Queen

I was sixteen when Kiss Alive came out. I remember how huge it was. A friend was raving about them and lent me the album. I never heard their music before. I must say I was underwhelmed. At that point I was getting into the Who, Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, Jethro Tull so by comparison Kiss was musically juvenile. These days I can listen to and appreciate them almost as a fun musical comedy act. As an aside, kudos for the Budgie choice.
Great show. My 5 - 5 Thin Lizzy - Nightlife 4 Caravan - & The New Symphonia 3 Supertramp - Crime Of The Century 2 Wishbone Ash - There's The Rub 1 David Bowie - Diamond Dogs.
Oh my goodness! Couldn’t watch live, had to work. Watched half tonight, after work, and called it a night. So far Get Your Wings hasn’t been mentioned. Maybe that will change when I finish this HVS episode ( I bet SK comes thru)

So then she got 35 bonus tracks until her 85th birthday 😅
Hunter/Wagner are sheer perfection on Rock'n'Roll Animal. '74 was jammed packed with stellar albums. I'll throw Brian Eno's Here Come The Warm Jets in there too.................Love it when Ralph rips it up..he's my favorite.

Top 5 albums
1. David Bowie - Diamond Dogs
2. Kiss - Hotter Than Hell
3. Thin Lizzy - Night Life
4. Scorpions - Fly to the Rainbow
5. Hawkwind - Hall of The Mountain Grill
5. Cockney Rebel : The Psychomodo
4. Horslips : Dancehall Sweethearts
3. Uriah Heep : Wonderworld
2. Hawkwind : Hall of the Mountain Grill
1. Lucifer's Friend : Banquet
As an English person I am pleased to see this list (OK, the Horslips are Irish!)
@@DarkSideOfTheMoule Recently beefed up my Horslips collection with the box More Than You Can Chew (35 disks!). This band really put out TONS of great music! DS is pretty good but just barely makes my Horslips top 10
@@wolf1977 Wow! That sounds a pretty massive box set. I only have The Tain, Dancehall Sweethearts and the Live album. I only discovered them quite recently while on a quest to find music that fused Irish traditional music and rock (along the lines of Thin Lizzy's Black Rose and Whiskey In A Jar).
@@DarkSideOfTheMoule If I'm honest I tend to stay away from their more traditional-sounding stuff but that still leaves PLENTY of great music. Other (to me) great albums: Short Stories Tall Tales, The Man Who Built America, Aliens, The Book Of Invasions...BTW Thin Lizzy's one of my fave all time bands & Black Rose my fave TL album (Gary Moore!)
1974 was a great year!! Rush’s first album, Kiss’ first, Hotter Than Hell, Bad Company 1st.
I agree with the majority of those picks. Purple, Rush, Kiss, BTO...of course!
Honourable Mentions:
WAR CHILD - JETHRO TULL
CRIME OF THE CENTURY - SUPERTRAMP
Spinal Tap had a Mark 2 lineup - Spinal Tap Mark II: Rebirth of Tap 🤣
All of theses are great and its a matter of mood vs ranking for me:
It's Only Rock 'n Roll (The Stones) - If You Really Want to be My friend is 2 minutes too long
Nightmares and Other Tales (Jay Geils Band) - only fault is the cover Funky Judge
Get Your Wings (Aerosmith ) - only track I don't dig is Spaced
Kiss debut - It was a mistake putting Kiss back in the studio to add Kissin Time
Hotter than Hell (Kiss) - never been able to get into Goin' Blind
Second Helping (Lynyrd Skynyrd) - pretty close to perfect
Bad Company - amazing debut
Rampant ( Nazareth ) - Strange sounding production, buts one of their best
This is one of best panels ever. Highly enjoyable and fun show. Great that Ryan is high on Wonderworld. It's one of my favorite Heep albums. Good to see all the Kiss accolades as well. Butch, Steve, Canz and Jim's return was an excellent surprise. Smoking show for sure. 🤘🤘🤘

I personally really enjoy KISS. I've seen four of their farewell tours (all different years, LOL). They had put together some great rock anthem songs. I enjoyed all the albums all the way up to through Revenge, except Music from "The Elder." I've been waiting for Music from "The Elder" to grow on me like it's supposed to, but it hasn't yet. They always put me in a good mood.
just dont play just a boy and world without heros and you will get the album
@@chrisflood9205 I do really like World Without Heros.
I turned 14 in 1974 and my 13 year old friend Johnny and I were huge Mott The Hoople fans. His father dropped us off at The Spectrum in Philly ( our first big concert experience) to see Edgar Winter Group on The Shock Treatment tour( Derringer, Hartman, Ruff backing band). We attended though to see Mick Ralph’s playing middle a lot in Bad Company on the first tour. They were good but both of us commiserated afterwards about “ why would he leave MTH for this..?!”. We didn’t know the songs from the debut yet and learned to like it. Checked out Free as well.
Beginning of Moving Pictures tour is when Saxon opened for Rush.

re: SWEET! Have loved them since '75, when I got the "US" version of Desolation Blvd. & eventually the fantastic "Give Us a Wink" LP. Anyway, that USA release of the LP is the superior record! Reason: b/c it's a "combination" of the great 'Sweet Fanny Adams' album, plus the UK version of Desolation. The best, catchiest tunes from each. Kinda like AC/DC's int. HIGH VOLTAGE was. AND! you also get the 'vastly superior' 1975 A-side redux version of "Fox On The Run" (no comparison). So, that's why you see the different tracklistings. You just had to know Sweet (and their releases) then, to realize this.
p.s. "Wonderworld" is a lame record. And I like Uriah Heep. There's a couple decent songs, but as a whole LP it's "meh.." at best. Disappointment. Nice cover though 😎
Finally, I forgot "Bad Company," Frampton's "Something's Happening" (the Frampton LP that was held up is from 1975) and "BTO" when I put this list together. Just wanted to say that they're all good to excellent LPs, and probably should be part of my list up there.

53:20 My little brother got the same collection of Kiss back in '76. That was so cool. It had the 1st 3 albums. I'm pretty sure it was cheaper to get them that way than to get the 3 albums individually.
I'm not a huge kiss fan but I do like most of those classic songs on their debut album.
We remember Grand Funk Railroad in Michigan. My grandpa was a fireman in Flint, Michigan back in the day always told me he held Mark Farner when he was just a baby
Look at this crew!
Chris' pick of Bowie's Diamond Dogs is an inspired choice. It's a really interesting album because it started out as a concept album based on Orwell's 1984 and there is a dystopian theme running through the lyrics. I love the 'Theme From Shaft'-style wah wah guitar on the track 1984 from the album. Bowie actually played a lot of the guitar parts himself rather than Mick Ronson (who was busy with other projects). Lou Reed's Rock & Roll Animal is pretty cool too as it's interesting to hear Hunter and Wagner totally reinvent those songs in a hard rock style. When I saw Lou Reed perform his Berlin album at the Royal Albert Hall in 2008 I finally got to see Steve Hunter live and he kicked a**!
Rush first played the US in Pittsburgh, opening for Uriah Heep.
Rush first played the US in Lansing Michigan on 5/18/74 with John Rutsey on drums. The Pittsburgh show was in August of 74 and was Neil's first show with Rush.

Nice Steve, was hoping Mars Hotel would get some love.
Excellent album!
Interesting note on the band Sweet, here in England they’ve appeared several times including last week at Rebellion Punk festival alongside the likes of GBH, Subhumans and UK Subs which is both lines up with Count Ralph’s taste and backs up Butch comment that they’re a lot heavier than people give them credit for. 🤘
Wow, that's awesome 🤘
1. KISS debut and Hotter than Hell (tie 😊)
2. Get Your Wings - (now retired!) Aerosmith
3. Rush debut
4. Bad Company debut
5. Second Helping - Skynyrd
Good to see Butch back for this one! And it was also great to see The Count (as well as Jim and the rest of the crew) come to Kiss' defense after they were dragged thru the mud on the previous episode. Like someone said, it's no use trying to "convert" someone at this point, but the way they often get outright dismissed as a joke etc is not only unfair, but inaccurate. Aside from The Beatles, they likely inspired more kids to pick up guitars or a pair of drumsticks or even stand in front of their bedroom mirrors and dream of being rock stars than anyone. And yeah - nothing beats "Burn" in 1974!!!
Interestingly enough, a couple days ago, I was wondering when Butch was coming back to the Hudson Valley Squares. He and the crew did not disappoint tonight! Here's my five:
1. Queen - 'Queen II' (my favorite Queen album)
2. Rush - 'Rush' (I love the Zeppelin influences and how different it sounds from 'Fly By Night' and onwards)
3. Deep Purple - 'Burn' (David Coverdale sounds phenomenal and it's one of my favorite album covers ever)
4. Aerosmith - 'Get Your Wings' (I love "Pandora's Box" and "Lord of the Thighs")
5. Lynyrd Skynyrd - 'Second Helping' (it's not my favorite of theirs, but I freaking love "The Ballad of Curtis Loew")
Man I gotta go with Crime of the century..just a classic.
Throw in Queen Sheer Attack and Queen 2.
Just a fantastic year.
I love Budgie album covers. Ahh.

I was sixteen when Kiss Alive came out. I remember how huge it was. A friend was raving about them and lent me the album. I never heard their music before. I must say I was underwhelmed. At that point I was getting into the Who, Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, Jethro Tull so by comparison Kiss was musically juvenile. These days I can listen to and appreciate them almost as a fun musical comedy act. As an aside, kudos for the Budgie choice.
Great show, Queen II, Hotter Than Hell, Burn, Tyranny and Mutation, but my number 1 all day Hall of the Mountain Grill, honourable to Not Fragile
