Album of The Year - Endgame

1. Camel - Mirage
2. Funkadelic - Standing on the Verge of Getting It On
3. Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
4. Miles Davis - Get Up With It
5. King Crimson - Red
6. Willie Nelson - Phases And Stages
7. Joni Mitchell - Court & Spark
8. Yes - Relayer
9. Kraftwerk - Autobahn
10. Brian Eno - Here Come The Warm Jets

It sure must've sucked to have been a prog hater in '74 :P
 
'74 was pretty superb. One of my top 10 jazz records is from this year, too!
  1. Joe Henderson - The Elements
  2. Kraftwerk - Autobahn
  3. Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night
  4. Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
  5. Funkadelic - Standing on the Verge of Getting It On
  6. Big Star - Radio City
  7. King Crimson - Red
  8. Herbie Hancock - Thrust
  9. Miles Davis - Get Up With It
  10. Camel - Mirage
 
Weakest year of the 70s imo. Lots dull prog. Even unimpeachable 70s Bowie released one of the albums I like the least out of his genius run of albums. 1 & 2 are stone cold classics though!

1. Joni Mitchell - Court & Spark
2. Neil Young - On The Beach
3. Van Morrison - Veedon Fleece
4. Bob Dylan & The Band - Planet Waves
5. Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night
6. Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
7. The Rolling Stones - It’s Only Rock n Roll
8. David Bowie - Diamond Dogs
9. Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness’ First Finale
10. Elton John - Caribou

Would've missed that Henderson/Coltrane album if I hadn't have seen your list. Didn't see it pop up on any of my prep digging for the spotify playlist I throw together in order to put together my list. We'll see if it makes my top 10 but it's definitely a great album.
 
1. Gil-Scott Heron - Winter in America
2. Kraftwerk - Autobahn
3. Joni Mitchell - Court & Spark
4. Bob Marley - Natty Dread
5. The Meters - Rejuvenation
6. Dolly Parton - Jolene
7. Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic
8. Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean Boulevard
9. Harmonia - Musik von Harmonia
10. Ann Peebles - I Can´t Stand the Rain
