Top 100 Music Albums of the 1970s by PeterSmith
Started to really listen to music in the 80's and was more intrigued with the stuff from the 70's with Bowie, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and Queen all grabbing my initial interest. I was also drawn to The Police & The Sex Pistols.
I liked Madness, The Clash and Joy Division without getting too into them - but finally got round to getting their albums in recent years same as Bob Dylan and Rolling Stones.
I'm obviously missing some big classics including Soul/Funk, Disco and some heavier Rock. I have plenty classics on my wishlist from this era to get through over the coming years.
I've noted the date I first listened as that might explain some positions - there is familiarity and history with some of them.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
