A few years ago, I posted a playlist of deep album cuts by the British band The 1975, and for kicks I also included a playlist of some of my favorite deep cuts from albums actually released in 1975, so that was kind of a prototype for this post's playlist with a lot of the same songs.A pretty damn good year, I think. Other than Patti Smith's debut, punk wasn't really on record yet in '75, so the kind of weird proto-alternative stuff like Brian Eno and Lou Reed stand out more. People act like meat-and-potatoes blues-based classic rock all sucked in the mid-'70s but there's so many awesome records here.
