Top 70 Music Albums of 1973
by

What is interesting about 1973 for me is how deep the four-star albums go. If I were to rank all of my four-star albums, I would bet that nearly every single one of them in 1973 would make the top half of that list.

The last 5-star on the list for me. 10 is low for the 1967-73 era, but as I said, what stands out about this year is how deep it is.
