70's Albums

Here are my favorite albums of the 70's


1. Led Zeppelin - Untitled (IV) (1971)



It was hard for me to choose my #1. But it would have been even harder to not pick this as #1. Hell of an album. Enough has been written about it, so I'll stop here.


2. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (1973)



Mesmerizing. thats what this album is. I love love love it.


3. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (1975)



Shine on you Crazy Diamond is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.

4. Led Zeppelin - III (1970)



Can you tell who my two favorite bands of the decade are? This album had a bit more folky feel to it after the hard rock that was II. Great listen.

5. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (1977)



Best album from a great band. So many classic songs on this record.

6. Marvin Gaye - What's Going On (1971)



God he was talented. May he rest in peace.

7. Queen - A Night at the Opera (1975)



Freddie could sing, brian may could play. This is a hell of an album.

8. Pink Floyd - Animals (1977)



This album takes more patient. Almost no song is under 15 minutes. It is well worth it though.

9. The Who - Who's Next (1971)



These guys sure as hell could rock. the super bowl did not do them justice.

10. Neil Young - Harvest



How did such a whiny guy create such a great album? He is amazing.

11. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti (1975)



How many great albums can they make. both discs are amazing.

12. Black Sabbath - Paranoid (1970)



13. Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy (1973)

15. Nick Drake - Pink Moon (1972)




This album is haunting.

17. Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Water (1970)

Great album by a band that died before its time.
