Favorite #1 Album 1971

I also surprised myself by picking Tapestry...a very cohesive and influential album jam-packed with top-notch songs. I don't revisit this one very often, but when I do, she still gives me chills with those songs.

 

I'll roll with Sticky Fingers. A tough choice for me this time around.

 

The Stones.....

 

Where is Who's Next????

 

In the U.S. Who's Next only reached #4.

 

ATMP.

 

buuuu. i though it was n. 1.

 

In the the U.K. it was. Their only #1. Hard to believe for some, but The Who never had an album reach #1 in the U.S. Quadrophenia and Who Are You both reached #2. Quadrophenia was held out of the top spot by David Bowie's Pin Ups, which was cover album. And ironically contained versions of The Who songs "I Can't Explain" and "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere".

 

Carole King's Tapestry.

 

Sticky Fingers!

 

Jesus Christ Superstar followed by Rod the Ex-Mod.

 

Carole King - Tapestry. It's the album I play from that particular year's Number 1s more than any other.

Tough to pick just one but I'll go with Rod Stewart Every Picture Tells a Story followed by Carole King Tapestry.

I own (and love) these albums since back in the day:

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - 4 Way Street
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
Carole King - Tapestry
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story
John Lennon - Imagine

I own these on CD:

George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - 4 Way Street
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
Carole King - Tapestry
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story
John Lennon - Imagine

 

Every picture....

 

Not much of a surprise, if you look at my picture, Every Picture Tells A Story

But Sticky Fingers and Tapestry also great albums. Still today.

 

Tough call !

I went with Tapestry, partly because it was a pivotal album of its kind.

But also love Sticky Fingers, Santana III, Rod Stewart.

 

Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

 

There's A Riot Going On

 

Me, too. 1971 was freshman year in college for me and Tea For The Tillerman, Tapestry or Every Picture Tells A Story was playing somewhere in the dorm 24/7.

I had Tea For The Tillerman on 8-track in my car. Sad Lisa and another song were on the tape twice to fill out the four flips.

* ka-chunk went the 8-track *

 

1971=good memories! Had to go with Tapestry.

 

In my official collection among this list are Pearl, 4 Way Street, Tapestry, Every Picture Tells a Story, and Santana (III). All either pressed by CBS Pitman or at least have their typesetting (certainly in the case of the first of those LP's, which was pressed in Terre Haute, IN). Alas, though There's a Riot Goin' On has Pitman type on the original yellow Epic labels, I don't have that one.
