1971 was definitely a great year in music, although the two previous years were great too.
I have posted my view on this year some years ago in another thread and received immediate approval.
One person`s random memory of all the releases this year will truly be impressive enough.
The prog thing, the heavy thing and the singer/songwriter thing seemed to peak this year, plus the 60s bands still made great records.
From the top of my head, it wouldn`t be very wrong to say that diverse bands as Jethro Tull, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Rolling Stones, The Who and Led Zeppelin peaked this year.
-And some hold Pink Floyd`s 1971 album "Meddle" as their favourite album by this band.
I guess we all have certain barriers towards certain names caused by a purist sensibility. I wouldn`t include Alice Cooper, David Bowie or Elton John in this company. I would say that they were waiting in the wings and would become big only in the years that were to come.

Correct, but according to a detailed (nice/good) documentary about Bowie, broadcasted only a few days ago on Dutch TV it flopped completely and Bowie didn't really surface that year so, as noughties says, he was still waiting in the wings
