Southern Cross - Crosby Stills and Nash 

I've always had a soft spot for this song.  Inane lyrics (unless you're the person who wrote them, I guess).  The sweetness of a 12 string guitar and Stills' gritty voice is quite appealing.  Spent my 15th-17th years in the southern hemisphere, so very familiar with the constellation.  Damn, I think I agree with napa on something.

Just listened to 'Thick as a Brick', I love how that album is a mockery of the prog genre but such a great prog album.

Legend - From the Fjords  Amazing rarity from the 70s now on Apple Music.

Impelliteri - Screaming Symphony

Re: Tull, not quite the same, but

"Whiter Shade of Pale" and "I am the Walrus" are also two songs meant to poke fun at how seriously many were taking lyrics at the time and are also two of the best rock songs out there.

It sounds like you just discovered this? Not a dig, I'm just surprised given your love of 60's rock. There are several good performances on Rock and Roll Circus, most notably that of The Who.

I did just discover it.  It was unreleased until 1996 and my love of the era comes from my dad, so he didn't know about it.  I knew the rest of the set, but this performance was never televised.  I didn't see it until I saw reference on Twitter.  I love everything about it, but Lennon's voice is just incredible on it.

Richard Thompson - Hand of Kindness
Ich ging zu Mamas Badezimmer und holte einen ihrer Tampons. Ich machte mich dann auf die Suche nach John und als ich ihn fand, wollte ich seine Eier um seinen Hals treten. Ich wusste, dass er das Handy genommen hatte, um seinen Freunden zu zeigen, wie ich mit dem Dildo meine Kirsche kaputt machte https://lustvollerjonas.com/ . Ich hatte Schmerzen und war verdammt verrückt! Ich marschiere direkt zur Forttür und trete sie auf. Wenn ich nicht so viele Schmerzen gehabt hätte, hätte ich laut gelacht. Dort waren sie mit einer Hand auf ihren Schwänzen und der anderen, die das Handy herumreichten. Ich sagte: "Gib mir das verdammte Telefon." John fing an und Matt nahm es aus seiner Hand. Ich sah Matt an und sagte: "Gib mir das verdammte Telefon, oder ich würde ihn in die Eier treten." Er gab mir schnell das Telefon. Ich fand das Video, das John mit dem Dildo von mir aufgenommen hatte und löschte es. Ich warf John das Telefon zu und stürmte davon.

"Led Zeppelin Wins ‘Stairway to Heaven’ Copyright Battle as Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Case"

Now what about The Lemon Song? "In December 1972, Arc Music, owner of the publishing rights to Howlin' Wolf's songs, sued Led Zeppelin for copyright infringement on "The Lemon Song". The parties settled out of court. Though the amount was not disclosed, Howlin' Wolf received a check for US$45,123 from Arc Music immediately following the suit, and subsequent releases included a co-songwriter credit for him."--Wikipedia

Johnny Winter - Highway 61

Trust me.

Thanks for the link. His studio version of Highway 61 on "Second Winter" was and still is smokin'.

One of my favourite artists back in the day. Couldn't get enough of the early stuff: Progressive Blues Experiment, the eponymous Johnny Winter, Second Winter, Johnny Winter And, and Still Alive & Well. And of course his playing on Edgar Winter's White Trash "Roadwork" album. Tobacco Road, man!

I still crank up Still Alive & Well a few times a year.

You're quite welcome.  I was off and on with Johny for a while.  

The more I saw and heard him play, the more I appreciated his ability to play the blues.

Sabre Dance -- Love Sculpture. I was in our Skokie apartment kitchen when this came on on our small AM/FM radio on the counter. I couldn't believe the blistering guitar playing of Dave Edmunds on this version of the famous classical work by Aram Khachaturian. Still a guitar tour de force today. Not as good, but also interesting, from the same album, is Farandole, Arlesienne Suite No 2  by Bizet.

Roxy Music - Avalon.

Inspired by gigabit's post on another thread.

I love all of Paul Simon's solo work from the 70s, as well as the early work of both XTC and Elvis Costello.

I would add lots of great music from Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Steely Dan, Steve Miller Band, Rush, Roxy Music, Boston, Genesis, The Doobie Brothers, Heart, Journey, Dire Straits, The Kinks, Black Sabbath, and The Allman Brothers.

Jimi Hendrix "Up from the Skies", damn he was so great. Sorry boys, just like there'll never be a greater jazz sax player than Coltrane, there'll never be a greater rock guitar player than Hendrix.  As pointed out in the astute "When Did Rock Die?" thread, it's a closed road. Listen to "Ain't No Telling", those Iron Maidens and Black Sabbaths of the world just can't touch Jimi. He's too deep.

Tom Morello > Hendrix

I'm sure there's a small percentage of people who agree with you. However, ask someone younger than us who Tom Morello is and they'll probably give you a blank stare. I don't think there's a question that a great many more people of all ages know who Jimi Hendrix is. Does that mean he's better? No, he is just more important in the history of electric guitar for a reason.

Nick Cave "The Boatman's Call".  This is one of the greatest albums of all time.  His way with words, his cynicism, humor, bluntness, whatever...  I am a Dylan fanatic and have deep admiration for Leonard Cohen, but this Nick Cave album just blows me away.

Not sure about greatest of all time but it is superb. Part of what made it great was how different it was compared to his music prior to that. Kicking heroin and breaking up with PJ Harvey clearly influenced the music.
