If they'd had a Mercury Music Prize in 1971

The shortlist could have been:

Every Picture Tells A Story
Hunky Dory
Meddle
Led Zep IV
Ram
Imagine
The Yes Album
Message From The Country
Electric Warrior
Sticky Fingers
Aqualung
Fog On The Tyne
Teaser & The Firecat
Madman Across The Water
Who's Next.

Winner? I'm giving it to Who's Next with Hunky Dory as hon. mention.

    And the winner is... (drum roll) ... John Martyn: "Bless The Weather." 1971 was the most astonishing of years.

    When I saw this list, I thought I knew more than nine of the titles. Think I might be in for some pleasant surprises as I get acquainted with the missing six!

    On the basis that no 'Baba O'Reilly' might have meant one fewer 1direction hit I'm arguing for Hunky Dory. And it's better. By miles. Especially Side 1
