Top 15 Music Albums of the 1970s
by

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.
