Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
#themoodyblues #everygoodboydeservesfavour #70smusic #70srock #progrock #classicrock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky The Moody Blues release my fav ... July 23, 1971. 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:…

Steve Winwood was ready to make a solo album after the demise of Blind Faith in 1970 and actually cut a couple tracks. But he missed the musical companionship in the studio and invited Chris Wood and Jim Capaldi to sit in.

Argus
April 28, 1972. Andy Powell and Ted Turner's twin lead guitars. Life was never the same again. That "prog folk-rock" sound and the blending of medieval lyrics combined with those twin lead guitars still make a head swim. #wishboneash #argus #70srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #andypowell #folkrock #hardrock #progreock #tedturner

Look what turns 50 today …
The 7th from Led Zeppelin ~ released on March 31, 1976. It's an album created at a difficult time -- during Robert Plant's convalescence from a serious auto accident. Critics weren't too excited about it and it's the lowest selling Zepp album in the catalog. But its genius has become apparent over time. #ledzeppelin #rock #bluesrock #presence #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #70srock

Has anybody seen the bridge?
March 28, 1973 ~ Led Zeppelin release Houses Of The Holy ... a classic. Lyrically, the title refers to the arenas and auditoriums where the band performed, which they viewed as "holy" places for their fans. That's about right. The album is ranked at number 278 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. #ledzeppelin #housesoftheholy #70srock #rock #rockmusic #classicrock #music #musicsky #musiciansky #robertplant #jimmypage…

“Back To The Clubs”
March 21, 1971 ~ Led Zeppelin made a stop at the Boat Club in Nottingham, England during their "Back To The Clubs" tour. It was -- and still is -- a rowing club and intimate music venue. One can only imagine The Zepp in their prime in that setting. #ledzeppelin #70srock #rock #rockmusic #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #music #musicsky #musiciansky

Dog & Butterfly
October 7, 1978 ~ Heart release #4 ... As Heart themselves noted on the album's release, side one was the Dog side, and was the more "rocking" compared to the Butterfly side two, which consisted mostly of ballads, with the exception of the closer "Mistral Wind" which is a Heart fav ...
