Top 100 Music Albums of 1973
by 
AAL2014 
*NOTE* -- My year charts reflect only the records I've listened to for the year in question and ranked in the order of,.. well.. my preference. Basically, if you don't see your favorite album or an all time classic it's because I haven't listened. What that also means is you should recommend it to me!
One of the greatest years in music in my opinion. Certainly one of my favorites. Elton John and Genesis reach their zenith, Sabbath release an underrated gem, Stevie continues rolling, The Who, Zeppelin, and Floyd release all time classics.
What a rich year for music. Of course more to be added as time goes on.
