Top 40 Music Albums of the 1970s by mv3k

I'm changing my rating system from previous ranking --/100 to simpler scale 1-10 that will be look like that
10 - literally perfect
9+ - almost perfect
9 - great with minor flaws
8+ - very very good
8 - very good
7+ - good, enjoyable listen
7 - good
6+ - ok with potential
6 - ok
5, 5+ - mid
4, 4+ - not very bad
3, 3+ - bad
2, 2+ - very bad
1, 1+ - awful
I will also give average track rating for each album, but I won't always base my score on it, but on my overall enjoyment of each record.
Until I finish changing it you will find both types of ratings old and new in my charts.

All-time masterpiece and my favourite record by them, stunningly beautiful, evoking feelings of sadness and melancholy and at the same time calmness. It's hard to describe what it means to me and every second of it is absolutely excellent
