The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St.
Like I wasn't gonna pick this raw, ugly, dirty, stunning piece of work...had to leave 2 big favorites on the table to do it, though.

Yay! Made my choice a little easier. Two albums from this year that may be in my top 10 of all time (this is one)

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Will the Circle Be Unbroken?
This double LP set represented both a musical and a cultural phenomenon. The NGDB went to Nashville and rounded up as many of the first generation players as they could, including Roy Acuff, "Mother" Maybelle Carter, Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, Merle Travis, Jimmy Martin, and others (but no Bill Monroe). The results were some mighty fine old timey and bluegrass music which bridged the generation gap between long hairs and older folks that The Byrds had unintentionally exacerbated four years earlier.

David Bowie -
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Realized that the week was up, and I hadn't given my choice. 1973 thread coming soon.
Couldn't leave this on the outside looking in - from the slow intro to "5 Years" to the strings of "Rock and Roll Suicide" with a slew of memorable songs loosely strung together under a trippy, glam space-age framework. I could play this on repeat and never tire of it - probably on my top 10 albums ever (along with Exile on Main Street)...should such a list exist:nunja:

This record owned me in 1972. I wore out no less than 3 vinyl copies by myself. And that doesn't count the 2 or 3 that were stolen from my dorm room. One of those "they shoulda had more success" kinda bands. The rhythm section went on to provide the bottom for the Kinks and Russ Ballard made his own (failed) attempt at solo stardom. Rod Argent reunited with the Zombies (Bluntstone) and this epic band has been largely forgotten. A shame. The 1973 followup, In Deep, was just as good, if not better, than this milestone of an album.

I guess I'm too late! Of course, I would've chosen Something/Anything!
You're not too late! Even if someone joined the MG now, we'd welcome their choices
Postalboy chooses: Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything?

This was one of the two I left behind for Exile. Since it's now HM time, the other was Big Star's #1 Record.

Better Late Than Never II : Son Of Late
Toughest one by far!
Only by a hair did it beat Captain Beyond's "S/T" (whose musicianship is far superior).
Other HMs: "Rio Grande Mud" (Orig. London mix...NOT that horrible WB stinkfest!), "Machine Head", "On The Corner".
