Top 36 Music Albums of the 1970s by Mr November

I guess this will be my least personal and most objective chart so far as I listened to all of these albums long after release. There are huge gaps in my 70's collection as a lot of the greats of this decade, Bowie, Led Zep, The Who etc I know mainly through greatest hits compilations. The albums are currently in no order outside of the top 3 as most have been added chronologically from trawling through my iTunes.
