1971 is oozing with unbelievable albums. Here's a sampling of the ones I listen to the most:

Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

The Who - Who's Next

Moody Blues - Every Good Boy Deserves Favour

The Doors - LA Woman

Pink Floyd - Meddle

Deep Purple - Fireball

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Led Zeppelin - IV

Yes - The Yes Album, and Fragile (two classic albums in one year!!!)

Genesis - Nursery Cryme

Black Sabbath - Master of Reality

Almost all of the albums above are considered near or at the top of that band's output (Fireball isn't top 3 Deep Purple, but I think for all the others an argument can be made they are top 3.)

What do you think is the best year for rock?

Hello everyone! This is my unfinished cover of Beat It from Michael Jackson. I couldn’t wait to share some of it with you guys! I’ll upload the full version as soon as possible.

Just wanted to show my love for the absolute art of lyrics that rock n roll bands put together. Some of my favs which hit me right in the heart(everytime) are :

1)"cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape from the life i livd when I'm awake"- Higher by Creed

2)"It took the death of hope to let you go" - Snuff by Slipknot

3)"..when you lose small mind, you free your life" -Aerials by SOAD

4)"..and I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'd understand.." - Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls

5. "It's times like these you learn to live again..." - Times like these by Food Fighters

6)"I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking, maybe six feet ain't so far down" - One last breath by Creed

7)& the complete lyrics of Sweet child o' mine by Guns N' Roses

PS: I'd love to get similar recommendations from y'all, thanks for reading.

Also, now that I've put them all together at one place, I feel a bit melancholic realising how most of them represent internal struggles and how I've come to relate to them.

They were only active for 4 years and accomplished so much. Do you think they had the momentum to rival the all time great bands or did they do enough in that small amount of time.

Rock Classics by Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Eagles, James Taylor, David Bowie, Elvis, Metallica and many more, covered by Reggae artists such as Gregory Isaacs, Alpha Blondy and Peter Tosh. Enjoy!
