This is a pretty straightforward question. . . . We've had polls on favorite albums of 1970 and 1971, so - what's your favorite album of 1972? :) 1972, of course, was the year of country-rock, but there was a whole of other stuff that happened that year, and I know my choices won't do the year justice. :(

I made this poll a multiple choice poll, meaning you can vote for as many as you like, because I myself can't make up my mind! :D

I went for Steely Dan's first album, as it was the best debut LP of 1972 - and it pointed the way for future Dan records. The first album from the Stephen Stills/Chris Hillman project Manassas has a special place in my heart, as does Family's Bandstand (obviously!) And of course I had to vote fo the Rolling Stones's Exile On Main Street, given its classic reputation. :)

Please note: Although Elton John released Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player in January 1973, he recorded it in late 1972 and the album carries a 1972 copyright date, so I count it as a 1972 album.

Exile On Main Street is a great album. When you listen to it you realize how great the Stones once were.

I picked Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player. By the way,
I go by calendar year, so I consider that album a 1973 album.

None of the above. I like the Stylistics self-titled debut album the best. Aretha Franklin's To Be Young Gifted and Black and Roberta Flack and Donny hathaway's self-titled album were also very good.

After their untitled fourth album came out in the fall of 1971, Led Zeppelion waited until 1973 to issue their followup, Houses of the Holy. :)

Well, that's why I added the choice of "other." :)
