Was that '71? You can add that to my list then.

I didn't become familiar with Free Live until 1977 (a girlfriend owned it) although I probably bought Live at Leeds in '74. 1971 was when I started to get into music, Maggie Mae was the first song that I really loved and T.Rex were the first band to be my favourite act. I was a bit young for heavier rock bands in '71 but the roots were there in bands like T.Rex, Slade and Sweet.
Doesn't feel like 43 years ago.

I hadn't really considered what a great year for music 1971 was, but aside from the big-hitters - all of which are mentioned elsewhere - here are some of my favourites:
Tarkus - one of two ELP albums that year
Stormcock - Roy Harper's four-song masterpiece
Pearl - Janis Joplin's posthumous album notable for her a cappella classic Mercedes Benz.
A Space In Time - After the blues and a spot at Woodstock this album saw Ten Years After going all pastoral. Virtually unknown and unheard of these days.
