From philbutrin 08/22/2014 03:28

i don't know what the age breakdown is here on BEA, but i'm assuming i'm on the older end of the spectrum :-) 1973 was around the time i first started being aware of popular music, so these albums contain many of the songs i heard around that time. except for Buckingham Nicks, which i discovered by accident in college. i've even got an actual copy of the original vinyl :-)

Very good, probably my favorite chart of yours. Bold but admirable move at #1, since a certain Pink Floyd album seems to dominate 1973 charts, and I like Houses of the Holy in there as well, most diverse Zeppelin record IMO.

All of my lists are works in progress -- particularly those in the 70's. I only joined a few days ago, and I'm still looking for albums to add, so it's the obvious ones that get added first.
