One heckuva offbeat list. #1 is the absolute right pick, though. Nice pick with Grin, Crazy Horse, Soap Opera (C'mon honey, I can't ball...with those ducks, ducks on the wall!)

Very interesting. A list to use to check out a decade.

Most of these albums and more have been reviewed at Alan's Album Archives (have a look for us in a search engine or see the link in my profile page!) Happy reading/listening!

Interesting. Nice picks. I like a lot on this list, but I would probably add a few Elton and Bowie records to a 70s list for sure...

Didn't know you can make a chart of 70' best albums without Led Zeppelin… The Wall is no. 60??
