Pretty much anything from that Eno album would have done, I think. It's a kaleidoscopic and inspired LP.

'kaleidoscopic and inspired' I'm happy with that

1974
Although on the face of it, '74 is pretty slim pickings compared to what has gone before, when I started to think about it, this one faced quite stiff competition from the likes of Richard and Linda Thompson, Bob Marley, The Sweet and even dear old Alvin Stardust ('My Coo Ca Choo' is one of the greatest singles of all time in my book), in the end it had to be this. From a wonderful album (possibly their best?), featuring a sadly short lived new line up (just listen to Ariel Bender's out there solo on this). This chimes with the trend at the time for re-hashing the 50's, but still has a big, glammy stomp to it and I never, ever tire of it. 'Good for the body, good for the soul..' Right on!

Kraftwerk - Autobahn
The moment where Kraftwerk's fluid minimalism ripens into something new and glorious. It's a sort of alpha/omega moment. They were distinct from everyone else at this point; wearing suits and using stripped down electronic equipment with almost nothing to denote that they were a "band". It's immensely hummable; the ultimate reference point for all good music in my opinion (I have been humming the Tannhauser overture for the last two weeks or so).

1975
There are four contenders for me, and they are all from the same album, the John the Baptist to the second coming of rock & roll. I suppose there's an outside chance of someone else choosing the lust explosion of Gloria, but I'll just have to yield the extraordinarily visceral depiction of grief that is Birdland and the great lost single Free Money with a sigh, in favour of this Holy Mess of beat poetry, fin de siecle posing, primitive playing, sex, high school slasher flix, and a garage classic, violence and beauty. With a VU alumnus producing and passing the flame along.

We don't always agree on music, but it's nice when we do. I was going to pick Land myself. It's greatest strength is the way the loose drive of the playing and Smith's utterly committed vocal evoke a real sense of personal liberation...the "sea of possibilities" indeed.

I was tied between two different German tracks for 1975, but I plumped for the bigger of the two. Although I couldn't find the full-length German language version on youtube, strangely enough. This is probably my favourite moment in Kraftwerk's catalogue, it's just such a stately, elegant song. A simple vocal melody, a stunning synth-choir backing, morse code spelling out the title floating in and out. It's a groundbreaking, beautiful transitional step from the long form classicism of Autobahn to the industrial pop of Trans-Europe express, a band at the peak of their powers.
