Top 21 Music Albums of 1971
by mrmcrook 
Another top year filled with classics. Based on personal favoritism. Apart from those at the top, very hard to place into any definitive order. Even those at the very bottom are still top class albums. Compilations, Greatest Hits etc ranked after studio albums on a year list. It's only fair
My favorite songs from 1971
Led Zeppelin - Battle of Evermore
Alice Cooper - Halo Of Flies
Black Sabbath - After Forever
Alice Cooper - Ballad of Dwight Fry
Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks
The Doors - L.A Woman
Jimi Hendrix - Angel
David Bowie - Life On Mars?
Deep Purple - Fireball
The Who - Baba O'Riley

70.50 Didn't quite hit the mark for me. For some reason I expected better. I did prefer the guitar led tracks over the piano. Nazareth do a fine cover of 'This Flight Tonight'. 01/25
