1972
We tend to think of the '70s as the disco era but the more I look at "old" albums, the more impressed I am with the music put out from 1970-73. (I was just listening to Workingman's Dead yesterday,(1970) and then today I put on this one from 1972.
If you don't know early Little Feat, when Lowell George was alive and with the band, go back and listen. Those of you only familiar with "Dixie Chicken" owe it to yourselves to listen to some of their other stuff. The strongest Little Feat album is probably Waiting for Columbus, which is a live album, but for a studio taste of the band, you can't go wrong with Sailin' Shoes. The lyrics are a little on the trippy side, and the music isn't exactly pop, or rock, or blues or jazz, but kind of all of them mixed together, so it might take a few listens before you love it, but listen to it loud and I bet you'll like it right away.

Surely the early 70s was the heydey of prog rock rather than Disco? The best years of Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson, ELP, Genesis, Gentle Giant....
