I think you may be overthinking this, Al.
All I'm saying is, if you rate two or three of the albums on that list as Albums Everyone Should Hear, then what else would you rate equally highly and for similar reasons? Not 1971-9 necessarily, but say 1965-85.

Times and Traditions for Dulcimer
That looks interesting - or rather (in case that sounds like damning with faint praise) that looks very interesting. John Kelly recorded "Bogie's Bonny Belle" last year, and from his sleevenotes he loves it; I find it a bit distasteful myself, but I may be over-sensitive - I've never really liked those 'maidenhead' songs (Ups and Downs, Cold Haily Windy Night &c).
Among the many attractions at the show will be a Really High Class Band - John Kirkpatrick & Sue Harris
Blimey, that looks good. Exactly the kind of thing I'm asking about.
