70s CD picks
So Tower Records is going out of business. I've already hit them up a couple times. They're going to gasp around for another month or so, like the fish at the end of that Faith No More video, slowly lowering prices until the final curtain falls.
I'm fairly current with new music. I've got podcasts that keep me up to date on new releases and hot bands. I know most of the classics. I don't need to be told to buy Revolver or Exile on Main Street. Plus, it's not like it's hard to find 70s rock. Even if beer and truck commericals aren't using it like they used to, it's on the radio in every market in the country. But are there any "classic rock" albums I actually need? Any that don't sound overplayed and cliched by now? I was thinking of picking up The Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East. Are there any others?
Oh, and no Grateful Dead or Yes. I'm not in the market for patchoulli or twelve-sided dice.
