King Crimson’s Red, Brian Eno’s Here Come the Warm Jets/Taking Tiger By the Mountain, Robert Wyatt’s Rock Bottom, Renaissance’s Turn of the Cards, and many more all had a certain toiled over blood, sweat, and tears vibration.

It was during this year that the IRA started to launch an all-out offensive to rid Northern Ireland from England’s grasp, rampant energy blackouts forced the reintroduction of Three-Day Weeks to conserve electricity, Monty Python was ending, and the government itself was having trouble even convening to vote in a Prime Minister going through the a Hung Parliament for most of the year with hardly anyone controlling the flow of ministry. What a weird time its must have been for England in 1974.
