Another excellent chart by Moondance. Mind you, I may have a wee bias, as having just constructed my starting list for 1970 with 35 albums (that I could think of and roughly sort order) and then a quick compare of our lists and straight up there's 28 in common! I am certain I will find this list an excellent guide in order to discover albums from this year that I will enjoy
