Been listening to a lot of late 60's and early 70's music lately. This stuff was the background to my childhood in the mid 60's to mid 70's thanks to my parents. My favorite song from Spanky and our Gang.

Then, as I got a bit older, they got me my own transistor radio and my musical exposure began to expand.

"Sky Pilot" by Eric Burdon and the Animals

The amazing Lisa Fischer ...

And my very favorite song by the Byrds. And now back to work.

One gorgeous highly introspective acoustic tune from the 70's, gotta be my favorite song from these guys:

 

[Gamecockfan77]

 

[MilfordHusky]

It's a cover, but it really rocks

 

[MilfordHusky]

Another Lenny cover of a great song

I like their Grand Ole Opry performance better but that had Darius Rucker with them, so:

 

[Ozimoto]

Ok, I lied. One more from the Marshall Tucker Band.

Good call on Humble Pie. RIP Steve Marriot. I saw them in '73 at Dillon Stadium. They were great. Opening acts were J. Geils and a little know kid named Peter Frampton. View attachment 43547

IIRC at one point Frampton was a member of Humble Pie. Great song.

Their version of "Misty Mountain Hop" kicks ass too!

I'll ride for August and Everything After as in the running for best album of the decade in it's category, whatever that is.

Rain King and Omaha are in the discussion with the two you picked.

I'll also put in a word for A Long December, because I've smelled hospitals in winter and seen the way that light attaches to a girl.

Forgot about A Long December. Great song!

Joan Armatrading - "Show Some Emotion" certainly does it for me:

My favorite Pretender's. Time the Avenger

I like one of his originals better. Fly Away

 

[OneTrickPony]

My favorite Hollies song.

Hollies' tribute to CCR/John Fogerty...

No King Crimson yet, so I'll fix that with Matte Kudasai - always loved this one - first time I have heard it live, and they do a very good job:

Crimson is another group with three (or four) distinct eras with very different sounds. Here's one from Mk II:

I didn't know it was a cover- thanks!

I'd assumed he was referring to the album cover (The Snake Charmer by Rousseau).

Another from Spanky. I hadn't heard this till I replaced my old Greatest Hit(s) album with a CD that had a half-dozen more songs on it. It's a well-known Depression-era song, but Spanky just slayed it. Best version I've heard:
