Top 100 Music Albums of 1971
by 
AAL2014 
I don’t think I’ve curated a chart with a more potently excellent top 15 or 16 than 1971.
A lot of classic heavy hitters dropping career defining masterpieces as well as many other off the beaten path choices. 1970 goes deeper in terms of overall quality, but ‘71 is a crazy year at its peak.
