Update: We’ve supplemented this list with 10 more of the Best Albums of the ’70s. Listen carefully-our list of the Top 150 Albums of the ’70s might remind you of something you’re listening to today. This is a more diverse list, one that represents where we are now, even though it’s music that was made a long time ago. Some from Brazil, Ethiopia, Germany, France, Nigeria, Ireland, Jamaica, Boston and outer space. Well over half of this new list comprises artists we never even mentioned the first time around. But with a few more years to take stock, we’ve simply realized how much more there is to cover. To look back at our first roundup of the best albums of the decade, it’s not that we see albums that no longer matter to us or that aren’t still great. The ’70s gave us a lot.īut there’s another reason: We’ve changed. Everything we listen to now, arguably, can be traced back in some small way to an innovation that happened in the ’70s, whether it was Giorgio Moroder’s arpeggiated space disco sounds or Factory Records’ minimalist post-punk or the intensifying protest sounds coming from various corners of the world. ![]() Why revisit the music of the ’70s? For starters, it’s without question one of the most significant decades in terms of how much music changed and exploded into new and experimental forms. Many writers have come and gone since then, several redesigns, a big change in how we listen and cover music and an overall change in what a canon really means in a society with endless avenues for discovering music. But a lot has changed about Treble since then. Back in the fledgling days of this website, with little editorial direction and a handful of writers just out of college (and many of our current batch still yet to attend), we took it upon ourselves to assemble a list of the best albums of the ’70s, ten from each year, as a sampling of all of our favorites, with little agenda beyond simply waxing enthusiastic about records we liked. Following the June 1971 release of his second solo album, Stephen Stills 2, he announced his first solo tour designed to showcase all aspects of the ever-growing artist.We’ve done this once before. The amount of music pouring out of this man could’ve fueled a half-dozen bands. Stephen Stills is an unyielding force of nature.

Produced by longtime friend and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Young (God’s Hate, Suicide Silence), then mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Koyo), this is hardcore for everybody. We’re what the title says, the Living Proof.” I can’t wait to play these songs and hear a room full of people singing back to us. “If we were able to get through the tough times, anyone can. “I hope with this record that when someone hears it, it gives them hope,” beams. “It just hits on everything that I love, that I’m about.” “It’s crazy because the song’s been out like forty years, but lyrically it’s a DRAIN song!” exclaims vocalist Sam Ciaramitaro. There’s also a cover of “Good, Good Things,” a nearly four-decade old melodic punk carol by the Descendents: slam-pit forebearers to DRAIN if there ever were any. Rapper Shakewell appears on the track, “Intermission”. There are a couple surprises on the album. ![]() The new album is a testament to the hard work and heartfelt ethos that’s at the center of DRAIN’s good-time psyche.
