1975 the end of Jr. High and the start of High School.

I listened to these two so much:

Alice Cooper - Welcome To My Nightmare
Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic

And I still listen to them regularly.

It was about the time when Boston's first album came out that I really started listening to Toys in The Attic but Alice Cooper was always a staple at my house thanks to my older sister.

Nowhere Man
Jefferson Starship - Red Octopus ?

According to my book this was the second best top selling album (in the United States) in 1975 after the Fleetwood Mac album. No-one has mentioned it in this topic.

I personally hold 1975 as one of the greatest years in music history for the sheer number of amazing albums released that their. From Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" to KISS' "Alive!" to Alice Cooper's "Welcome To My Nightmare" to The Boss' "Born To Run" it was just an absolutely stellar year in music that had some of the best work by many of music's finest. Some of the biggest were:

*Face the Music - ELO

I tried to hit up everything big but I'm sure I probably forgot something, so feel free to bring up anything I left out. What all do you all love about this year?
