The music of the LA Canyons
by Johnnyo 
This is one of the most furtile periods in American music. From the late 60's thro to the mid 70's, LA produced some of the most stunning music every made. Here is my list of the best of it. I need to own it so may not include your favourite for that reason. There is no particular order to this chart @ the moment. Just adding albums that I think might belong here. So many more artists to add.

Great list! Have and love a lot of these. I might - as bobbyb5 suggested - add the Mamas & The Papas as well as No Secrets by Carly Simon..And maybe Firefall...maybe ;)

So many essential albums here! I wonder how many more good ones could be added to make a complete list of 100 albums.

Thanks for the comments. Been ignoring my custom charts for a little while but hoping to get back to them soon. This one is going to get a bit of a make over & might even end up in some sort of order. More albyms will be added.
