Top 15 Music Albums of the 1970s
by 
Fergenaprido 
Studio albums, EPs, musicals, and soundtracks with at least some original compositions. If no songs are highlighted for an album, it's because I didn't rate any of them 80 or higher.
When I think of the '70s I think of Classic Rock and Disco, neither of which I'm particularly fond of. I'm slowly making my way through select albums, starting with what I found in my father's den.

I discovered in university, which I think is when most people do, and picked up his compilation album form a used CD sale. Eventually I got around to listening to his original albums. Pink Moon; from the Morning; Horn.

I want to like this so much more than I do. I have some real favourites on this album, but there is so much filler that it's just okay. I guess Disc 1 is better than Disc 2. Mother; Goodbye Blue Sky; Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2).
