Big Albums from July 1973: Funkadelic, New York Dolls, ZZ Top, More!

Classic LPs released this month 50 years ago. Click the links to order from Amazon.

Slop was a flop at the time of its release, but it was the first LP from George Cinton's groove collective to feature a cover by afro-futurist artist Pedro Bell and the title track attracted attention from the Hip Hop generation.

Dylan's soundtrack to the Sam Peckinpah film of the same name, in which Bob co-starred as "Alias." It includes instrumentals from the film, along with the classic "Knockin' On Heaven's Door."

A late-period million seller for the King, this one includes covers of Gordon Lightfoot ("(That's What You Get) for Lovin' Me") and Dylan ("Don't Think Twice it's All Right"), along with "Fool," the Top 20 single that gave this LP the nickname "The Fool Album" to differentiate from his same-named 1956 LP.

Ian Hunter and comrades' sixth LP, featuring "All the Way to Memphis," "Honaloochie Boogie" and more.

Two master guitarists pay tribute John Coltrane. Whole lot of shredding going on.

Fantastic first from U.S. punk pioneers. Kicks off screaming with "Personality Crisis" and never lets up. Produced by Todd Rundgren.

The Texas trio's third as their big breakthrough, featuring radio hits "La Grange," "Waitin' for the Bus," "Jesus Just Left Chicago" and more.
