Top 100 Music Albums of 1972
by neilgee

This is another reciprical chart between me and other bea members in that a lot of the albums here were discovered on this site. I have to confess that I don't regard this chart as being as thorough as the 71 chart was but that is largely down to time constraints. At the rate I'm going I won't have enough time left on this planet to reach the mid 80's, but it will be fun trying haha. Another factor is albums being available to listen to on Youtube. A lot of them are but some of them aren't and I can only rate what I'm allowed to listen to.

nice to see Slade in your chart.
I don´t know this live album, but Slade gave me a good time some years ago.
