Top 100 Music Albums of the 1970s by

From Marswolf68 06/23/2020 01:17
A lot of albums I like Big Star etc. A lot in common. U wouldn't personally rate the Cars or a couple of the Floyd album's quite so high but thats just personal taste.

Awesome #1. That Cars album does not get enough love. And very cool to see Dennis Wilson included.
