Greatest Synth on a 70's Rock Record?

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who

No Led Zep "All of My Love". I'm heavy on ELP. If you don't like it EMFA.

Never Been Any Reason - Head East

Got really fucked up in CDA and may have done coke with the bassist for Head East in the 80's

At least he said he was the bassist for Head East.

From The Beginning - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Life During Wartime was a good sleeper pick.

I just went with my favorite song of the bunch.

I always though Pete Townshend invent synths on rock records in 1971 with Who's Next. But Emmerson appears to have beat him to the punch on Lucky Man in 1970.

The last 2 mins of Won't Get Fooled Again is the greatest 2 mins in the history of rock.

Baba O' Reilly - The Who

The ultimate stoner song making out in the van smoking weed and talking shit

Would have gone Close to the Edge had it been an option. A few acid trips

It's a good list considering the guitar hero mania of the era

It is the power chord on top of the synth that makes Baba

Early air guitar favorite

I know ELP a lot better than Yes, so I played it safe with the obvious early synth hit.

There's no synth on Smokin' @coronabruin . Just clavinet and organ.

No so fast my fren. Where are the synths on Boston's debut @JoeEDangerously ? There's some freaky guitar affects and some organ/clavinets, but no synths that I'm aware of.

All the same to me. I thought you meant any electric piano shit.

I know in the world of technically proficient shredding it all seems the same, but there is a difference.

Karn Evil 9 1st Impression, Part 2 - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

went with ELP - love Karn Evil along with most of the others, almost picked Roundabout - assume you meant Yes with Wakeman whom is phenomenal on keyboards.

Edit: made me watch a lot of good music

Or you could just wait for the best rock organ of 1972 pole. I mean there’s zero use of synths on Highway star.
