What a decade the 70's were and likely the best decade for music ever. Bunch of great albums out during this era but there are likely some I have not heard that could make my top 50 list. My top 50 consist of studio albums only with Live and EP albums with unique tracks that do not appear on any other studio album are considered. Now I've listened to a bunch of albums in the 70's so what are your favorites of this era and if I have not listened to them I will check them out....
