Darn it, I also forgot Jethro Tull’s Minstrel In the Gallery album. One of the best they ever recorded.

Also, the Australians got their version of AC/DC’s High Voltage (the followup TNT , also issued in Australia in ‘75, would be the international version of High Voltage released in 1976 with a couple of tunes from Australian High Voltage).

Also, Nazareth’s Hair of the Dog. Chris Squire of Yes’ Fish Out of Water.

I forgot Queen’s A Night at the Opera as it was released in November 1975 in the UK and that December a month later, so it’s considered a 1976 top seller in the US.

Some great songs listed.

If the title were to read “The song of 1975″, my vote would have to go to Wish You Were Here.

Cheers.

But if the powers that be would like to consider a Sunderland-Liverpool rematch, and if the original referee agrees…

How about a Liverpool – Birmingham City rematch, eh! FEd?
