Top 100 Music Albums of the 1970s
by

besides the about top 15 that are in my top 100, i literally cannot rank these. I love every single one. The 70's was first love, and although I've moved on, it still holds a special place in my heart.

Kudos for Gil Scott-Heron. I don't personally think Survival is Marley's best but to each his own, it does have some great tracks. Also, a lot of interesting choices here that I haven't heard yet. I always like that in a chart. (Edited)
