1973: Still living in the 70's for x-daysofmusic

Another year of this #x-daysofmusic challenge set up by @backinblackdevil.

Finally getting to stuff I remember from the time. To whit:

This is the first Doctor Who story I remember watching

David Bowie - Aladdin Sane

I probably don't remember this song from 1973 but as a child I desperately needed to own a copy of the album. Still one of my favourite Bowie albums, although the live versions on Ziggy Stardust The Motion Picture are mostly better.

E.L.O. - Roll Over Beethoven

A top track from a cassette we got to listen to in the car. Dad borrowed a box set of pop music stretching from 'How High The Moon' to, maybe 1974. From this he compiled two C90 tapes of musical genius that I would love to still have. This was towards the end of side two of tape two, near T-Rex's 'Children of The Revolution'.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

Live in 1974. From the album Pronounced Leh-Nerd-Skin-Nerd

I have the groovy 12" baseball picture-disc of this. Definitely not from 1973. Stands the test of time, even at 14 minutes!

Grateful Dead - Stella Blue

From Wake of The Flood

A delicate little number from a fine album marking their return from Americana to psychedelia. One thing you could say for the studio versions - the vocals are vastly better than any concert recording. Lousy singers, the lot of them.

E.L.P. - Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression

The good bit at the end, from Brain Salad Surgery

An HR Geiger cover and a totally mixed bag of songs. Prog rock self-indulgence at it's best!

Nazareth - This Flight Tonight

A Joni Mitchell cover, from Loud 'N' Proud

This is possibly Nazareth's best album, and the single a big hit. When I got a job and moved to London, I walked home each day through Notting Hill and always stopped at at least one of the three branches of Record and Tape Exchange. I bought the entire Nazareth back-catalogue on 2nd-hand vinyl very quickly. Still got 'em. Weirdly, I've not seen the band in concert and with Dan McCaffrey's retirement, I don't think I want to.

Queen - Liar

A top track from the first Queen album

I don't remember early Queen, but of course 'Bohemian Rhapsody' had a massive impact on anyone watching Top of The Pops in 1975. The first album is a corker, and the pre-Queen Smile material is worth a listen as well, as there's not many songs out there about polar bears.

The rules are to be interpreted as you like really, but are something like this:
Pick years from when you were born to now. It really doesn't have to be all of them
Feature some songs from one of those years in a post with some details about why you like them. You can write something about the year in general too.
