of Tales from Topographic Oceans as the representative of where rock music was in 1973.
Dark Side of the Moon came out that year and was one of the biggest albums ever. If you want riff based rock’n’roll, Houses of the Holy came out that year.

Crocodile Rock was one of the big hits of the year, if someone wants to find something that seems distanced from Johnny B. Goode only by its nostalgia.
