Top 100 Music Albums of 1974

This feels like by far the most slap-dash of all the 100s I've completed so far, it does at the time of completion anyway, although there's gotta be some editing later. That's because I've rushed it in comparison to 71-73. It's inevitable, I suppose, even to complete 100s for the entire 70s will take an unbelieveable amount of listening to albums time. I'm not surprised that only a few of us complete these individual year 100s, but having said that I did enjoy compiling it.
Looking through this list I can count only 12 of these albums that I had heard in full in 1974; everything else was discovered later.
