1974 was the year after the peak of rock (1963-1973) ended; a let down by comparison. Those few songs from 1974 on my top 400-plus list were actually recorded earlier. Except, there is this one; not a BIG favorite, but at least it made my list at #306. Steely Dan were a good and popular 70s group, sometimes compared to The Eagles; but different too.
Now that we are about to get to the really good stuff, interest is switching back to the bad era. Well, people like what they grew up with. I am lucky to have grown up with the best. I just have good timing. That would figure, with me being a prophet and all. Yes, I know, that's just my opinion.
I know that the Rolling Stones put out Exile on Main Street that year, which was a good album. I didn't get to know it too well. I was already starting to switch my interest back to classical music and J.S.Bach organ music in 1974, as well as being pretty-much absorbed by The Who.
gabrielle mentioned Stevie Wonder; Songs in the Key of Life was a good album released in 1976.
