[dld]

Nice list dld!

Thnx Newtrik, Gotta give my sweet wife an assist, she came up with some of her favorites from that era that ended up on the list..

Well, you had one of Bowie's best periods then, with the Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust.

Lou Reed had Transformer. I think some Velvet Underground fits in there too.

You can always go for some Sly & the Family Stone from that era.

What's Goin' On and Let's Get it On from Marvin Gaye.

Stevie Wonder was at his peak with Talking Book and Innervisions.

Al Green, Billy Paul, The Chi-Lites, the O'Jays, the Spinners

The debut record by Kiss came out in 74.

There's always the New York Dolls.

T Rex's Electric Warrior fits in there.

You could always throw in some Willie Nelson or Merle Haggard for the country fans. They both were strong then.

Stones were actually good then, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street.

I think the last couple CCR records came out then.

The Who's Who's Next. Alice Cooper, Kinks

There's a bunch of other suggestions already, so I'll stop.

You need some hokey cheesebag one hit wonders like "One Toke over the Line", "Arizona", "Stuck in the Middle With You" or "Overnight Sensation". Barry mentioned the Have a Nice Day discs. They would be invaluable for putting together a music set like this.
