1972 was before I was born… But looking at the list of best albums, and best songs, and given my renewed interest in all things Barry White, I’d probably pick:
I was ending my Soph year in college. There were concerts at least once/week on campus, rivaling that of the Fillmore East (which had just closed down in '71).
Someone has to be a huge Mott the Hoople fan so that would be me
Great album covers
More like the Mullet of Kintyre
1972 had a lot going for it jazzwise. Alice Coltrane for one was in her prime.

Bolero, to be followed by Rapsodie Espagnole.
I met Bo Derek as a preteen when she was filming a movie in my hometown. Song worked for her!
Wonderful collection!
If you like some of that funky kinda jazz take a flight with Donald Byrd
My friend’s dad is a huge fan of Bobby Hutcherson…'72

What’s your favourite xmas song?
I like

my wife’s family is Swedish and Danish, so this is a must play; it’s a song about a bunch of forest gnomes drinking and being merry
We have Hannuka songs too!
Many of those replies plus a few Bob Rives’ parodies (Walkin’ Around In Women’s Underwear). Can’t choose just one. ‘Do You Hear What I Hear’ was a childhood favorite.
Serenade by William Grant Still.
