Top 5 albums of 1974
Here you go.
1-Montrose-s/t
2-Budgie-In for the kill
3-Sweet-Desolation Boulevard
4-KISS-Hotter than hell
5-Aerosmith-Get your wings
A different kind of year perhaps as the bands who dominated much of the previous years (Sabbath, Zeppelin, Alice Cooper) didn't release albums in 1974. KISS, Judas Priest and Rush all released debuts but all were fairly rough entries. It would be guitarist Ronnie Montrose along with his young lead singer Sammy Hagar who would release the most impressive album of the year. Budgie and Sweet released the best albums of their careers. KISS quickly got things together on their sophomore release. Aerosmith improved greatly with their second album as well.
I'll have the list for 1973 out next week.

Can't really argue with this list. Montrose is a monster, easily the best album that year. Never been a KISS fan, but I totally understand them being on your list. I would have picked two of my faves from that year, UFO - Phenomenon and Scorpions - Fly To The Rainbow.
My favorite album of 74' would have to be King Crimson's Red. I can never get enough of that album.
