Top 82 Music Albums of the 1970s
by kramerfan86 
A very strong decade which I know I've underexplored. Several artists make numerous appearances, but the 70s were the prime for some of my favorite artists ever so Im not going to create artificial limits on the number of albums per artist. Hopefully with time I will discover more from the decade and variety will naturally create itself.

Over 40 albums in common so clearly I'm digging most of the selections on your chart although I'm not lovin' all that ELO, Alice Cooper, & Cheap Trick.

Even with 10 Bowie albums, this chart is still great.
