Great Albums, 1975-Q1

 I used to do a lot more music posts here, monthly Top 40 posts and such.  But those faded away without fanfare or (apparently) mourning.  But I was listening to mt "Hits of 1975" playlist the other day, and started thinking about albums.  So I figured I'd look into it, maybe pick up some ideas for the music que.

So, here's a list of notable albums from the first quarter of 1975.  

Albums I own:

• Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan.  A great album, and an "important" album.  I've owned it since the mid 70's, the first Dylan album I owned.
• Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin.  An iconic album, certainly worth having.  Though I didn't own it in the 70's, I certainly knew most of the music from it.
• On Your Feet or on Your Knees - Blue Oyster Cult.  One of my favorite live albums, by one of my favorite bands.  I don't remember if I got this before or after "Secret Treaties". but either way is close.   
• Song for America - Kansas. The title track is sooooo good. My introduction to Kansas, I remember the title track playing on AOR radio.  Although not my first Kansas album (that was the next album Masque)
• Nuthin' Fancy - Lynyrd Skynyrd.  Actually the last of Skynyrd's first 4 albums that I owned, I didn't get this one until probably 1975.  But it has some of my favorite deep tracks by them.
• The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table - Rick Wakeman.  Again, my 3rd favorite Wakeman album of the trio of great albums Wakeman put out 1973-1975.  But still great.
• Lou Reed Live - Lou Reed.  
• Spring Fever - Rick Derringer.  Pretty sure this is the 1st Derringer album I owned, either this or "Live".  But I did have this one in 1975.  I remember reading an interview in Circus magazine (at least I think it was Circus) and buying it based on that.
• Straight Shooter - Bad Company

Honorable Mention

• Modern Times - Al Stewart.  Dropped between "Past Present & Future" and "Year Of The Cat".  and IMHO, not as good as either.
• Fly By Night - Rush.  I'm not really a Rush fan, but that puts me in a minority.  I know a couple songs from this album, I should probably give the whole thing a listen.
• Young Americans - David Bowie
• Katy Lied - Steely Dan
