Top 100 Music Albums of the 1970s by mrmcrook 
I realize my chart has a lot of compilations and many people believe compilations shouldn't count. The reason I have included them is so I can add a few bands/artists that have fantastic music and should be recognized. Otherwise the list will be hugely dominated by a dozen bands that everyone knows has a huge number of worthy albums. Hence why the large amount of compilations and live albums.
Any footnotes are just personal ramblings for my own entertainment.
And to remind me of the joy the music brings before all memory is erased.

Had on vinyl. Then it was gone. 30 years later got the CD. Forgot how fucking brilliant this is. It powered up the chart. A masterpiece of an album

The early 70's were a golden era for Heep. This isn't their best but it's a worthy addition for anyone who likes their music.
