[Kukka]

One of the best albums of 70's

A Night At The Opera by Queen.

[maxxy]

a good choice. not the only good album, though

[Existciel]

7 albums, 4 Bands :

1 - L'Heptade (1976) by Harmonium
2 - Selling England by the Pound by Genesis
3 - The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
4 - Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
5 - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis
6 - Nurcery Cryme by Genesis
7 - Closed to the Edge by Yes

[maxxy]

If you think those are the best, you're missing out on a lot of good music in the 70s. I'm not arguing with you, I'm just saying that you should also look into other stuff like the jam, the clash, brian eno, etc.
