Top 100 Music Albums of the 1970s
by Dakatalbum 
This my updated 1970s best albums chart. I ranked these albums based on my personal taste, album flow, consistency and how they impact future genres.
P.S. Innervisions will always be one of my favourite albums, no matter how you ignore this album here. It's not even in top 100 in overall chart.
