Top 100 Music Albums of 1970
by 
AAL2014 
1970 recently became my first year chart to break 40 entries and will most likely be the first to crack 50 soon too. (Future me here.. this chart is close to being the first of my Year charts to crack 100 entries!!)
This is a beyond impressively deep year which currently features two of my top 100 favorite albums with a handful of others not far behind. There are a number of years with more of my very favorite records at the top of their respective lists, but I’m not sure there’s a year with a more stacked top 35. This is a TOUGH chart.
