Music Advent recap, part 2: 1973-1982

[mellicious]

For the record, I'm probably going to go on with this for the rest of the month even though Music Advent will of course technically be over Christmas Day - so I'll get up to the early 90s before I'm done. And there will then be a part 3 recap at the end of the month, assuming I haven't run out of steam before that. (I don't know why I like the recaps so much. Seeing all my choices in a list somehow pleases me unduly.)

1963-1972 was here.

1974: The Doobie Brothers, Black Water

1975: Elton John, Someone Saved My Life Tonight

1976: Barbara Streisand, In Trutina (my token bit of the classical repertoire)

1977: The Eagles, The Last Resort

1978: Todd Rundgren, Can We Still Be Friends
