This seems to be the year where the dream of the 60s counterculture

You would be correct. The mid-70s was the dead zone between the protest era and the punk/New Wave era when there wasn't a lot happening to sing about.

Aside from Quadrophenia, 73 really didn't have many essential albums.

>>74832479
I think Quadrophenia is a bit less than essential but I've gone on a rant about that on /mu/ before.
Off the top of my head the only 1973 essentials I can think of are Innervisions, Selling England by the Pound, The Payback, and Fresh. That's just fucking sad.

>Future Days
>Faust IV
>The Dark Side of the Moon
>Larks' Tongues in Aspic
>Flying Teapot
>Houses of the Holy
>Sextant
>Aladdin Sane
>Tubular Bells
Are you fucking stupid?

1973 is considered to be the birthyear of hip-hop

>>74832677
Several of those are meme albums (especially DSOTM).

>>74832677
Sure.
Sure.
Low tier Floyd.
John Wetton is a bad singer.
>not Angel's Egg
Really really flawed but good.
Forgot this one.
Not essential at all.
Sure.

it's popular so it's irrelevant and a meme

kill yourself you fucking faggot

>>74832807
DSOTM isn't the best Floyd but it's undoubtedly the most essential, same with Flying Teapot

Also I agree about Wetton but that period of KC was still their best incarnation, and Aladdin Sane > Ziggy Stardust

with the exception of the stones and a few other things, 60s counterculture was a mistake

>>74832891
The Rolling Stones suck though.

I think 74 was worse than 73, that was really the low point of the decade.

>>74832434
Plus you had new rockers like Bruce Springsteen and Aerosmith

>>74834765
>Aerosmith's eponymous debut album was released on January 5, 1973 and was virtually ignored both by consumers and by the music press. One reason for this may have been that Columbia put most of their promotional effort at the time into Bruce Springsteen's "Greetings From Ashbury Street". As guitarist Joe Perry recalled, "The first album went nowhere. No sales, no reviews, nothing."

>>74834795
Yeah but Dream On was first a minor hit then before getting huge a couple years later

Aerosmith really didn't get their sound down pat until album #2, especially Steven Tyler hadn't yet found his trademark vocal style.
