1970's: albums 101 - 200
by Moondance 
The 1970's were so rich of quality albums that I have decided to make my first BEA custom chart - recognising the artists and albums that meant so much to me as I was moving through early teenager to young adult.
I try to avoid greatest hits/compilation & 'live' albums (with rare exceptions - eg Neil Diamond's Hot August Night) and I also like to spread to 'love' around and recognise as many artists as possible. For this chart I have limited each artist to only one album.
The order within the chart is not as important as their inclusion within the chart.
