    Damn, the lists on here are making me re-evaluate mine! I completely forgot about the Stones! How could I????? Just goes to show that by the 70's, albums were more of an established art form, which wasn't the case in the first half of the 60's.

    It is too hard for me to list only 10 Favorite Albums of the 70's, it was the greatest decades of all for rock music (with the end of of the 60's). It is also hard for me to list only 10 groups or solists.
