Top 17 Music Albums of 1972
by Junomoogmello 
This chart is under construction with albums being added as re-listened to, that way commentary is relevant and not based on memories. Only music which I own on vinyl, CD and tape is included. Personally I think that digital streaming has killed the music industry.

I am often torn between this one and 'After the Gold Rush', never really sure which sits in poll position. Does it really matter, both are great but quite different albums? The instrumental layering on this album is superb. I love 'Heart of Gold' and 'Old Man'. Strong message in 'The Needle and the Damage Done'. Parts of this album sound so much like Nils Lofgren, I came to him first so perhaps that statement should be reversed. I know Nils was in the band on keyboards through some of Neil Young's work so perhaps the style rubbed off on him, no bad thing!

Love your notes. Fully agree with your comment about digital streaming. Not only has it killed the music industry, it's also diluted the relevance of most opinions as now people will tell you how good a song or album is from only listening to it once. Like you, I only list albums I own and have listened to multiple times.
