Top 100 Music Albums of the 1970s by Moondance
Without any shadow of doubt, my favourite decade in music. This is not surprising, as this was the decade when I was old enough (14 - 24) to begin my lifetime journey embracing modern music - and amassing my own collection of vinyl (and then cassettes).
My love of this decade is reflected in my greatest 100 albums of all time chart - where this decade dominates, with over 40 albums in the chart and where, if I let sentimentality (my heart) rule over my head, I could easily have many more.

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 :(
