    What about Ohio Players or Earth, Wind, and Fire, Parliament and its derivatives, Rick James, Sly and the Family Stone?

    In no particular order (of course, this doesn't include jazz records):

    Note: I still count the Beatles as 60's only so they didn't make my list.

    Van Halen I, II
    Queen - Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera
    Kansas - Leftoverature
    Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark
    Carol King - Tapestry
    Elton John - Yellow Brick Road
    Billy Joel - 52nd Street, The Stranger
    Dan Fogelberg - The Innocent Age
    Steely Dan - Aja, Goucho, Pretzel Logic
    Led Zepplin - Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti
    Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic
    Cheap Trick - Heaven Tonight
    Yes - Fragile
    Supertramp - Breakfast in America
    Rush - 2112, Fly By Night
    Earth, Wind & Fire, Parliment Funkadelic (pretty much anything they did in the 70's)
    Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On (maybe my #1)

    That seems to be about enough though I'm sure I've forgotten some.

    Now, I have to disagree with you on this one. Prince only released two albums in the 70s -- "For You" and "Prince." And they both sucked.

    It wasn't until 1980's "Dirty Mind" that he really started to shine. Of course, that's just my opinion. [​IMG]

    well, we will have to agree to disagree because I thought "For You" was great. I thought "Dirty Mind" and "Controversy" were in the 70's as well - they all have that pre "1999" sound - oh well. "Soft and Wet" off of "For You" is one of his best songs ever.

    Damn DarkHorse..you had me fooled.
    I would have put ya closer to my age considering your list.

    BTW...I agree with your list except for the Michael Jackson and the Ronstat.

    i especially regret not including the Eagles..that album changed the way I listened to music back then. [​IMG]

    Okay, if you guys are going to play my game, you better get the decade right. [​IMG] These are all from the 80s, not the 70s:

    High & Dry-Def Leppard
    VH--Fair Warning
    Judas Priest--British Steel

    Get it right, damnit! This is embarrassing! LOL.

    wrong-o Freaky ..

    According to the inside of my album cover AND JP's website, British Steel was released in 79.
    You got me on the Fair Warning thing tho..my bad.

    I just REALLY love that album!!

    Can't think of 10, but:
    Alice Coopers Greatest Hits 1974 is a really good, good album. I know he's really cheesy and rich now, but this was a damn good album. It has-I'm Eighteen, Schools Out, Elected, and all the rest. Buy it or Napster it!
