333. David Bowie | Young Americans (1975)
For a genre I’ve quickly grown a bit bored of, Bowie sure does an admirable job of making it interesting again. The title track wastes no time in making it clear this is a fresh take on both RnB and...

334. Burning Spear | Marcus Garvey (1975)
Well, it’s Reggae, all right. Yup. Lotta Reggae things happen on this record, and then some other Reggae related things. Reggae. If it seems like I’m struggling to come up with anything to say about...

335. Bruce Springsteen | Born To Run (1975)
I don’t think I’d ever knowingly heard a Bruce Springsteen song before this, let alone a whole album. Yet I couldn’t shake the feeling of familiarity as I listened, which speaks volumes to the...

328. The Dictators | Go Girl Crazy! (1975)
This is the album that allowed me to finally “get” 70s Punk. I’d always been a little too focused on the music itself to notice how little it ultimately matters; indeed it seems dreadfully obvious now,...

331. Keith Jarrett | The Köln Concert (1975)
I feel like I lack the necessary understanding to appreciate just how masterful musical improvisation like this is. Scales, harmonies, timings; I am familiar with but the most basic notions of...

332. Aerosmith | Toys in the Attic (1975)
I’ve got to admit that while this never quite shakes off the shackles of me-too Stones/Sabbath/Zeppelin inspirations, it’s quite a fun record. The opening track hardly wastes a microsecond in whipping...

336. Emmylou Harris | Pieces Of The Sky (1975)
Well that just about makes this my favourite country album by a female singer so far, I think. It nicely blends in folk rock sensibilities with the twang of classic country, made all the more solid by...

337. Dion | Born To Be With You (1975)
This album was originally shelved for 12 months, after which it was met with general indifference by critics. I kind of feel that was the right reaction. The music sounds incredibly insincere to me,...
