Top 100 Music Albums of the 1970s
by newjlp 
So, what did I learn from this exercise? Well, it seems a lot of great punk and reggae tracks were only released as singles or EPs and weren't available on compilation albums until later decades. Also, the great Misfits "Static Age", although recorded in 1978, wasn't released in its entirety until 1997.
