Thank you for the list.  I'll certainly enjoy going through and listening to those that I didn't pay attention too. In particular, I had to look up Black Oak Arkansas.  I am not familiar with their music.  (I'm still working through the list).




I saw Black Oak several times and they were wild fun. Best thing about them was that they introduced the world to Ruby Starr. She was spectacular.

No love for Little Feat?  Am I the only fan here?  Lowell George is da shizzle.




Little Feat -- well, I know that I saw them outside, it was raining, but for the life of me I can't remember where or what state.  :shrug:  (Those were the days).

Might as well add Traffic and Humble Pie to that list

Indeed!  Humble Pie was my first album purchased as well as my very first concert.



Steve Marirot's vocals were incredible.  I saw Humble Pie in concert in an arena (3 tiers) and he sang one song without a microphone -- no problems with the crowd hearing him.  He/they were awesome.  It was also my first concert so I was in awe.

Remember them?  Not only does "Love Hurt" but so did my ears.  My ears rang for two days after their concert back in 75.

Oh yes, they were loud. One of the first bands I saw in concert in 1976.

4. Led Zeppelin (-1)
5. Uriah Heep (+1)
6. Grand Funk (-1)
7. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (No Change)
8. Chicago (No Change)
9. Three Dog Night (No change)
10. The Guess Who (No change)
11. Black Oak Arkansas (No Change)

16. Elton John (-2)
17. Mott the Hoople (New)
18. Yes- (No change)
19. Steve Miller Band (-2)

New Albums for the month-

Grand Funk Railroad- Phoenix
Grand Funk Railroad- Closer to Home
Steppenwolf- Collection 1969-1972
Rare Earth- Get Ready
Black Oak Arkansas-Self Titled
Black Sabbath- Self Titled
Grand Funk Railroad- We are an American Band
Grand Funk Railroad- Shinin' On
Deep Purple- Machine Head

Relatively quiet chart movement, only new entry was Mott the Hoople.  ZZZZZ. on this entry.  Also, note on the huge add on collection.  There was a shop were my grandparents lived, that had a huge used music store, that I would frequent to get bargain basement albums, 8 Track, and Cassettes.  When you see "large adds", that is probably what happened.

Agree 100%

My No. 2 behind The Who- Live at Leeds.  Deep Purple had an incredibly tight sound for an early '70's pretty much metal band.

Agree...  I was not as much a Pink Floyd Fan, until a few years later.  At this time in my list, I sadly was more of a 3 chords and loud kinda guy!!!!

Interesting though.  My list does show I do buy Dark Side of the Moon next month (October 8, 1974)

Anyone else remember this excellent band?  If I had started preparing my  list 2 or 3 years earlier, this band would have easily been in my top 10.  One very cool other point about this video.  As far as I know...  It is the only singular known video clip of them live in the early '70's.

I loved the dueling whailing guitars that was a trademark sound of the early '70's.

October 1974 List

1. Black Sabbath (No change)
2. Grand Funk Railroad (+4)
3. Alice Cooper (-1)
4. Deep Purple (-1)
5. Led Zeppelin (-1)
6. Uriah Heep (-1)
7. Emerson Lake and Palmer (No change)
8. Three Dog Night (+1)
9. Black Oak Arkansas ((+2)
10. Chicago (-2)
11. The Guess Who (-1)
12. Bachman Turner Overdrive (+2)
13. Rare Earth (-1)
14. Mott the Hoople (+3)
15. Rolling Stones (-3)
16. The Who (-1)
17. Steve Miller Band (+2)
18. Bad Company (New)
19. Elton John (-3)
20. Yes (-2)

Vinyl/tape additions-

Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon
Bachman Turner Overdrive- Not Fragile

With Zeppelin's help the first of many "extract groups" is formed with Bad Company.  Good band, with several hit, but IMO kind of started the formulaic trend that we saw and that went into perpetuation.
