Best of 1975

Some monsters on that list for sure.

Here are some other possibilities:

• Arti E Mestieri - Giro Di Valzer Per Domani
• Buki-Yamaz - s/t
• Energit - s/t
• Etna - wait for it... s/t (a personal favorite)
• Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All (maybe only tangentially fusion, but can't be left out of any best of list for that year, IMO)
• Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow
• Mahavishnu Orchestra - Visions Of The Emerald Beyond

Also, for some strange reason, I have a fascination with the Napoli Centrale. It appears most folks don't share the same sentiment. It seemed worth mentioning at any rate.

Been trying not to look. That takes a lot of the challenge out of it.

I had considered the Passport but that's not even one of their top 3
albums in my list. Forgot all about the Rypdal though. That's his
best album too.

Surprised that the Napoli Centrale would be in the top 10. It's not
everyone's cup of tea. But it's a good way to clear the room when it's
time for company to leave. Area and Magma do a real good job of that too.
Speaking of, I'm leaving zeuhl out of this exercise. Zao were the closest
thing to fusion in that ilk, but if we go there, that opens up a whole
new can of worms that I'd rather not.

That said, Shekina at #19 seems awful low. And Piirpauke at #25 is a
travesty if you're going to include the Balkan-influenced stuff.
