"Everyone knows rock n' roll attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact."

Homer Simpson claims "Rock and Roll obtained perfection in 1974"
Taking the definition of Rock and Roll at its very broadest here is a list of some notable albums from 1974.
 
 
Court and Spark - Joni Mitchell
Crime of the Century - Supertramp
Diamond Dogs - David Bowie
Hero and Heroine - The Strawbs
I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight - Richard and Linda Thompson
It's Only Rock and Roll - The Rolling Stones
Kansas -Kansas
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis
Like an Old Fashioned Waltz - Sandy Denny
The Man in a Bowler Hat - Stackridge
On The Beach - Neil Young.
Pretzel Logic - Steely Dan
Red - King Crimson
Relayer - Yes
Sneaking Sally Through the Alley - Robert Palmer
Starless and Bible Black - King Crimson
Stormbringer - Deep Purple
Turn of the Cards - Renaissance
Veedon Fleece - Van Morrison
War Child - Jethro Tull
 
 
There is some great stuff in there but I can't help thinking Homer may have over shot be a year.

    Back in the 70's I never thought I'd look back fondly at that decade. Who Knew?

    I checked to make sure Diamond Dogs was on it, and then agreed that Homer was right.


    Besides, that was the year i was born... I was rock 'n' roll once.

    Define Rock and Roll

    My favourite albums of all time were mostly released after 1974
    As for the first question - You first I have taken the broadest definition imaginable, then stretched it a bit.
     
    We will all have different opinions on this but my heyday was the period that started with "In the Court of the Crimson King" and ended with "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" (it probably ended a before that but the Pistols brought home it was all over).
     
    So Homer's preposterous claim has some resonance but I decided to look and see what was released in 1974. And when I do I there were better years, IMHO. Some of the great prog band were already running out of ideas and it would not be long before they were simply fulfilling their contractual obligations while the new wave set to pounce.
     
    I think 1974 is too late -
     
    here is the case for 1973
     
    Back in '72 - Bob Seger
    GP - Gram Parsons

    Queen - Queen
    Tres Hombres - ZZ Top
    Count Down to Extacy - Steely Dan
    (pronounced 'leh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd)- Lynyrd Skynyrd
    Bedside Manners are Extra - Greenslade
    Hard Nose to the Highway - Van Morrison
    Vagabonds of the Western World - Thin Lizzie
    Selling England by the Pound - Genesis
    Quadrophenia - The Who
    Brain Salad Surgery - ELP
    Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath

    maybe i'd vote for 1970


    but there's a reason


    everything is relevant to it's surroundings, know what i mean?

    this was the year, coming off of 1969, which in my mind, was the end of the 'flower power' movement....

    still smack dab in the middle of the vietnam war, the music, production, and attitude, of all the music that came out in '70 seemed to be more 'angst' and piss and vinegar, a reaction to the times, and to me, that's rock and roll.

    I'm just realizing that most of the stuff I dug from the 70's was actually very early stuff. I tend to forget and to think of them as a relatively good decade, but it's really only the first 2 or 3 years. All the classics I mean. 

    After that, circa 74, they at least become fewer in numbers. But since all those cool bands like Zep and Sabbath kept on touring, I tend to forget that from 74-75 onward, it really wasn't all that exciting.

    Actually it was 1969
    The presence of In the Court of the Crimson King in your list is in its self a compelling argument.
     
    1969 - 1974 was an incredable period for music,
     
    The case for more recent years, anybody?

    1975 (AD)

    Some of the Good Stuff:

    Aerosmith: Toys in the Attic
    Led Zepplin: Physical Graffiti
    Queen: A Night at the Opera
    Rush: Fly by Night
    Rush: Caress of Steel
    Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here

    Bad Company: Straight Shooter
    Nazareth: Hair of the Dog
    Styx: Equinox
    Foghat - Fool for the City
    Head East: Flat as a Pancake

    Unfortunately, 1975 also featured this stuff, too:

    Olivia Newton-John: Have You Never Been Mellow
    Donna Summer: Love to Love You Baby
    The Bee Gees: Main Course
    Van McCoy: Disco Baby             (Yes, this includes "The Hustle".  Sorry for that.)
    KC & the Sunshine Band: KC & the Sunshine Band
    The Carpenters: Horizon

    There were others, but I just can't bear to list them.

    I could easily pick out favorites from any decade, including the most recent one. But the pickings had started to thin by around 1976-1977.

    I think the 1990's were a good period because that decade represents the apex of recording quality. Speaking purely from a technical standpoint. I was just today listening to Shadow of the Moon by Blackmore's Night, released in the late 90's IIRC, and thinking "what a great recording!"

    But I have to agree that In the Court of the Crimson King was a watershed moment. There are just a few albums that had such a profound impact on me that I still remember where I was, who I was with and what I was doing the very first time I heard them:

    Court of the Crimson King
    Are You Experienced?
    Magical Mystery Tour
    Sgt Pepper
    Dark Side of the Moon
    Tommy

    This does not include all the records I heard first on acid. Those are electrochemically seared into my brain, but aren't necessarily the greatest works of art (e.g. the first Sabbath song I ever heard was "Iron Man", while peaking on blotter and staring at a pizza and wondering why I had ordered it and what I was going to do with it).




    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Cool stuff, Ed. Punk before Punk was a genre.
    Quality is much better than my earliest surviving recordings from 1979.
    I liked the "tape is rolling" at the beginning of I Knew That I Knew it. , reminding everyone that time is money.

    there is no questions that music in 70's was the best weather you like it o not.
    Even rapers now are stealing phrases from those songs.

    I'm 50 yrs old... and I'm very glad I cut my teeth on all the early and mid 70's music. What I used to call classical / progressive rock was and still is some of the best music ever written IMHO. Disco, glitter and early punk gave me something to rant against, but even now I can still fully appreciate the analogue recordings of the day. Great stuff.
