It's driven heavily by John Paul Jones' synthesizers and keyboards and the album sounds like a shift away from the heavy blues stuff to more of a prog rock, synth sound.

Like many of his albums, it's controversial among fans. Dylan lays his personal faith on the line which doesn't sit well with many of his tight-ass fans. But the album also welcomes many new fans to the work of Orpheus. He wins a Grammy for best male vocal performance and…

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

Pronounced
#lynyrdskynyrd #pronounced #70srock #southernrock #rock #rockmusic #ronnievanzant #classicrock #music #musicsky #musiciansky Everyone was constantly mispronouncing their band name -- a tongue-in-cheek reference to their old gym teacher at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, FLA. His name was Leonard Skinner and he detested boys with long hair -- and enforced the rule against it mightily. So, the boys from Jacksonville made him famous.

Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow
#ritchieblackmoresrainbow #ritchieblackmore #hardrock #heavymetal #70srock #ronniejamesdio #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Back in '75, Ritchie Blackmore was growing tired of Deep Purple's move from hard rock to funk and soul. The 1974 album, Stormbringer was the last straw. He thought recording a single would get him straight, sought out Ronnie James Dio to sing and recorded a cover of Quatermass' "Black Sheep of the Family."…

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.
