Albums of the decade: Your fave 5 albums from the 1970s (all genres)

[Dick Brucinson]

Name your fave 5 albums from the 1970s (all genres) HERE.

Mine (no particular order):

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
The Beatles - Let It Be
Rush - 2112
Quicksilver Messenger Service - Quicksilver
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

 

[Black Bart]

Deep Purple - Machine Head
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Rainbow - Rising
Uriah Heep - Demons & Wizards
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

 

[Diesel 11]

1. Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell (1977)
2. The Beatles - 1962-1966 and 1967-1970 (1973)
3. Andrew Lloyd Webber et al. - Jesus Christ Superstar (1970)
4. Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown (1974)
5. Yes - Yessongs (1973)

Definitely tougher than the '60s. That last spot could've been Boston's debut or ABBA's The Album. Frankly if I listened to Pink Floyd more they probably could've been here. Ultimately Yessongs is such a rich triple album that it tipped the scale for me (in weight alone lol).

There are two (technically three) contenders here for my overall top 10: Bat Out of Hell and The Beatles' Red and Blue compilations (which I'm counting as a sole entry because I listen to them together anyway).

Oh God, I only just now realised that @Dick Brucinson and @Diesel 11 have matching avatars and I probably confused their posts for ages now.

It wasn't at all coordinated on my part, but the moment where I myself started getting confused over posts I didn't remember writing was the moment I began to enjoy the matching pics.

They are almost matching. There's some 7 years between those pictures.

btw, @Diesel 11 : we might wanna cause a little confusion by swapping around our profile pics from time to time. you go with the one from 1963 while I take yours from 1970.
