So Far
CSNY release their first compilation/best-of album on August 19, 1974. They released this album after that monster summer stadium tour in 1974. The band didn't want to release a "greatest hits" album after just two albums, Graham Nash called it "absurd." It's sold over 6M albums. So far. #CSNY #sofar #70srock #classicrock #davidcrosby #stephenstills #grahamnash #neilyoung #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #jonimitchell

Innervisions https://robinbannks.com/2026/08/03/innervisions/ #70sRock, #Funk, #Innervisions, #Jazz, #R&B, #Rock, #Soul, #StevieWonder August 3, 1973 ~ Stevie Wonder releases his 16th album — considered the centerpiece of his “golden” period. He played all or virtually all instruments on six of the album’s nine tracks, making most of Innervisions a representative one-man band. It’s as close to what I’d call … a masterpiece.

For me, it's the key of their "core seven" album run, reaching #1 on the UK albums chart and #2 on the US Billboard 200. Music students got the title to that album right away -- it's the tuneage mnemonic used to remember notes on the treble clef lines:…

London Town
Wings release their 6th on March 31, 1978. This is the "synth-heavy" era for Wings. They recorded the thing in London at Apple Studios and on a yacht in the Virgin Islands but all that didn't matter -- it was another success for Paul, Linda and Denny. #wings #londontown #70srock #rockmusic #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #paulmccartney #lindamccartney #dennylaine #softrock
