Top 52 Music Albums of 1971

Recently listened to this year for #5albums71. I was struck by just how many Christian songs there were. I really liked all the boundary-pushing folk music. And lots of great soul music - this was the year when pop-soul artists got a social conscious and pushed some boundaries. And some absolutely wild live albums.
