Bringing It All Back Home/Highway 61 Revisited (1965)

My favourite musician of all time is the wonderful *Richard Thompson* and back in the day his then group *Fairport Convention* released not one, not two, but THREE excellent albums in 1969. ‘What We Did on Our Holidays’ in January, ‘Unhalfbricking’ in July and ‘Liege and Lief’ in December. It was such a magical period, partly because bands had neither the time nor money to be excessive in the studio. This was a great thing for the music. RT released two albums in 1974 alongside wife Linda - ‘I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight’ and ‘Hokey Pokey’. The first was actually recorded around a year earlier but wasn’t released due to shortages of vinyl.

Popoff and Pardo are at it again with some of the artists who released two albums in the same calendar year.

Other ones are the third time Elton John managed this feat in 1970 [so actually his first time of the two in one] with his first two U.S. releases - the eponymous Elton John and the follow-up Tumbleweed Connection. And though a person ot two mentioned them, no albums were ever named so have to give chops to Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1969 releasing their 'three-fer' of [in order] Bayou County, Green River, and Willie & The Poor Boys.

Judas Priest takes the crown with Stained Class and Killing Machine in 1978... Stained Class is outrageous. A top 5 all-time favorite for me, with songs that became templates for other bands for years to come. You play the songs a full step down with modern production and it's still what a quintessential metal album sounds like. Beyond the Realms of Death is a top 10 song with arguably one of Glenn Tipton's most melodic solos. White Heat Red Hot, Savage, Stained Class, Heroes End- too many songs to talk about individually. Now- I do think Killing Machine is overall weaker, but it does have a handful of amazing songs. I'd rank it low in Priest's discography, but you get Delivering the Goods, Hell Bent for Leather, Running Wild, Burning Up, etc. I have a major problem with Take on the World, Rock Forever and Evening Star for example. But a lot of these albums in the same year are gonna have one that's considerable weaker. I'm thinking Styx is a good 2nd place because in my opinion The Serpent is Rising is severely underrated with great songs like the title track, Witch Wolf, Grove of Eglantine and Jonas Psalter. In fact the plexiglas we should never talk about is the one cringe moment. Aside from that it's perfect. Styx II has pretty good stuff too. Very elaborate and I've found myself hearing it more and more. I wanna say Nazareth with Razamanaz and Loud n' Proud next- I'd have to listen to make sure. Raz is an less balanced album that gives me tons of mileage because of a few favorites and Loud n' Proud is maybe a little bulkier. If that doesn't work then Thin Lizzy, because you can't mess with the fox. I was never that hyped about Jailbreak, but it does have Warriors and Emerald in it.

My top bands who created two great albums in one year include 1. PFM - Storia Di Un Minuto and Per Un Amico, 2. Van der Graaf Generator - The Lease We Can Do is Wave to Each Other and H to HE, Who Am the Only One, 3. Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso and Darwin!, 4. Yes - The Yes Album and Fragile and 5. Genesis - Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering. Honoralbe mention: Gentle Giant - Three Friends and Octopus

@@harperhellems3648 If the debut is a „great“ album is debatable.

Saints' Eternally Yours and Prehistoric Sounds!!

Genesis. Trick Of the Tail, Wind and Wuthering

Cheap Trick self titled and In Color is another great one. Great show guys:)

Nice show guys! To all the bands and artists you mentioned I want to add Fairport Convention, they did not two but three very fine albums in 1969, What we did on our holidays, Unhalfbrickning and the groundbreaking Liege & Lief. Many should maybe say it was their three best albums.

Thank you for the interesting discussion . The Doors released. The Doors and Strange Days in 1967 . Cheers !

Regarding Martin picking Judas Priest, I would agree that Stained Class is the more important record of the two regarding the sonic development and expansion of heavy metal. But I would argue that Killing Machine proved to be more important for the development of the band - it's the album where it all came together. You get the retention of a lot of the progressive ideas they had been using on their prior three albums, coupled with a new streamlined sensibility and hints of an almost pop inclination. You had a lyric change somewhat away from the more bleak, gothic themes being used previously, into a tough-guy, street-ready ethos, without completely abandoning sci-fi and fantasy. And you have THE LOOK. The adoption of the uniform that would become the band's signature, as well as inform the fashion of the entire rock genre going into the 1980s. Killing Machine is the moment where they discovered and adopted a lot of the tropes that they would retain right through to the present day.

Pete, from a long-haired rocker of the 70s, the new cut looks great!

Martin with a Green Carnation shirt, cool, got to find a way to talk about this great band

Kansas Song For America and Masque is my pick for 1975.

Manowar - 1984 Hail to England Sign of the Hammer

How bout Destroyer and Rock and roll over. 1976

Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home and Highway Revisited in '65, then Blonde On Blonde in '66.

Foghat 1974. Energized & Rock & Roll Outlaws. Both great albums after which Bassist Tony Stevens leaves the band and Nick Jameson replaces him and also produces the next release Fool For The City which was a pivotal break through album for the band.

I would have had from 1965 The Byrds Mr. Tambourine Man and Turn! Turn! Turn!

1. King Crimson: Starless And Bible Black & Red (1974) 2. Black Sabbath: debut and Paranoid (1970) 3. Rush: Fly By Night and Caress Of Steel (1975) 4. ELP: Works Vol. 1 and Works Vol. 2 (1977) 5. Yes: The Yes Album and Fragile (1971) 6. Motorhead: Overkill and Bomber (1977)

Martin it isnt easy to just come up with new songs, I have released several albums and as I grow older the hardest thing is coming up with subject matter to write about. I can come up with riffs and structure all day especially if it was my full time job. But to come up with QUALITY material is another matter. Side note. I received your Queen album by album review for my birthday in April. Fantastic book. I would like to find your Sabbath books to read.

Hmm I remember I recommended this topic when Pete asked for ideas for new topics from his subscribers hahah!

Lynyrd Skynyrd - first 4 albums: Pronounced Second Helping Nuthin Fancy Gimme Back My Bullets All released inside a year of each other, and Street Survivor was out about a year and a half after Gimme Back

Heart's Magazine was recorded in 76 and released unfinished in 77. Then it was re-recorded/remixed and released in 78, the same year as Dog & Butterfly. So it still counts.
