The Top 20 albums of the 70s according to acclaimedmusic.net

Went for "Songs In The Key Of Life", but this list has a lot of really strong albums in it. DSTOM, Ziggy, Who's Next, London Calling. All fucking great!

Music really was better back then. These days suck, man.

Exile. Predictable, but for a reason. Where's Layla?

bott

Television Marquee Moon???? replace this

Innervisions > Songs in the Key of Life > some of Riot > What's Going On > Lol Side of the Rofl > the rest of Riot > stuff I haven't heard

Music really was better back then. These days suck, man.

Maybe for megahit albums; today, albums are basically obsolete commercially. But music today is as vibrant and interesting as it was in the 70s (and that was a very good era, I think). See, e.g., the Your Top Ten Fave Singles/Albums Of This Decade thread, where the list of top-shelf discs and songs has been growing fast.

1. Gold Rush, 2. Exile.

This one would change day to day for me. Today, Ziggy.

This is completely impossible.

Where's Layla?

Bob v. Stevie v. Patti v. Sly. Not made up my mind yet.

zzzzz.

Where's "Rumours"?
And "Never Mind the Bollocks"? Please.

Just for the hell of it and off the top of my head, Fleetwood Mac - Rumors, Tusk, Fleetwood Mac Bob Seger - Night Moves Boston - Boston
Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps All the better albums by Pink Floyd and Bruce Springsteen Anything by Parliament or Funkadelic Anything by Talking Heads I do like this list better than the '80s one, and I've never gone to Acclaim.net.com/music, but it's a boring and random list no matter from which you angle you approach at it from. I did vote for Who's Next. {b}dancing banana{/b}

You know what is great about "Who's Next" ?

Those dudes peed on the outside of the porta-potty.

As for all those "Where is" posts, my initial reaction was where is "Hunky Dory". The answer is at #24 btw.

OK, you know the story.
The Rolling Stones Exile on Main St
Marvin Gaye What's Going On
Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bollocks - Here's the Sex Pistols

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Exile on Main Street

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

yay!

Innervisions is leading this poll... really? There's maybe three great tracks on that album. I'd probably go with the boring Pink Floyd DSOTM album.

Boring choice, that is. The DSOTM album is great. Thought I should clarify ;)

yeah hurry up and vote

fuck this bullshit

Innervisions is leading this poll... really? There's maybe three great tracks on that album.

more like 9 great tracks amirite

toadily

I love all of Wonder's classic 70s albums, but I have never understood the thing about picking "Innervisions" ahead of the others. Sure, there are great songs on it, but the number of great songs is so much bigger on "Songs...", "Talking Book" and "Fulfillingness First Finale".

totally rong. stevie should be where patti is, patti should be in the top 5, joni should be #1 ahead of neil & pink floyd.
