List the best albums of the 70s. Do not be afraid to list Abba or Shaun Cassidy, if that is your preference. Here is raj's definitive retrospective of the 70's. Kindly note that I purposely created a diverse list, and is not tied down to one genre: Stevie Wonder - Innervisions Roxy Music - Eponymous debut Rush - Hemispheres Todd Rundgren - A Wizard, A True Star Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Jackson 5 - Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5 Boomtown Rats - Eponymous debut Elton John - Madman Across the Water David Bowie - Hunky Dory Queen - Sheer Heart Attack

The Stooges - Funhouse The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys Kraftwerk - Radio-Activity Can - Tago Mago Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Scream The Clash - London Calling Talking Heads - Fear of Music Edit: Sorry, I can't count. (Mine goes to eleven...)
the futants, You have an eclectic palette to be sure. couple of d's, Certainly, your selections recall the taste of substance abusers I have encountered throughout my tours. For your sake, I am confident that you must enjoy at least a small amount of diversity in your musical appetite?
some of my favs ZZ Top - Degüello John Denver - Poems, Prayers & Promises Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove Parliament - Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome George Jones - The Grand Tour Sly Stone - Small Talk Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Willie Nelson - Stardust Joe Walsh - But Seriously, Folks... Rolling Stones - Some Girls
Any top ten list of '70's albums populated entirely with any combination of Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Pink Floyd would be a correct list.
In no particular order..... The Police - Outlandos d'Amour Rush - Fly By Night Rush - 2112 Rush - A Farewell to Kings Rush - Hempispheres Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd - Animals Pink Floyd - The Wall Van Halen - Van Halen Led Zeppelin IV Eagles - Eagles Eagles - Desperado Eagles - One of These Nights Eagles - Hotel California Eagles - The Long Run
