Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites


I've been listening to a local FM station a little more recently and have been enjoying some of the "flashbacks" that they've been playing. I'm primarily talking about stuff from Bowie, Roxy Music, Velvet Underground and yes, even the Stones, etc...

As such, i thought it would be neat to dredge up the past and ask some of you to contribute a "few" of your favourite albums from this time. This might also help others find some "gems" that may have been overlooked. Just remember, we're talking early to mid 1970's, not your favourite rock albums of all time. Sean

I really like the band 'Kansas' and bought everything they ever made after hearing the album' Leftoverture'. Absolutely awesome musicians and songwriters. I recently picked up a two CD set which is very nice....can't remember the name now cause I lended it to a friend :(
Also liked 'Blue Oyster Cult' at the time and recently picked up a CD copy of Agents of Fortune (still have the LP).
Led Zeppelin was always and still is a favorite. I saw them at the Fillmore West in Frisco on their first American tour (1969) when they were second billing to Country Joe and the Fish, believe or not and later again in 1973 at Kezar Stadium in San Fran with Lee Michaels. That concert at the Fillmore, btw cost $3.00. That included 3 bands, 2 1hr sets each. Started at 8PM and got out at 2AM. Those were the days! Also saw Jeff Beck Group there when Rod Stewart was the lead vocalist, and also Deep Purple on their first American tour. Woo hoo!
