Of course "The Wall"

    Boston's debut album was one of the greatest debut albums ever.

    I was younger then and every time we went to relatives or friends' houses with teenagers... Boston was on the turntable. Fleetwood Mac dominated the airwaves as well.

    Off the top of my head, you have to have Hotel California in this list.

    Sadly I did not live in that time but I LOVE Boston. And I'm not crazy about the Eagles the list I put up is my opinion, And I do agree it should be on a 70s album list but not my list.

    Just realized I left out David Bowies "Hunky Dory" That is another one of my absolute favorites!
  • EarlWelshEarlWelsh Posts: 1,118
    Bowie's Low, I'd add, as well.
    Brian Eno - Another Green World

    I sadly have not listened to any of low. What's some good tracks?

    Oddly enough, my favorite track is an instrumental called A New Career In a New Town. Sound and Vision and Always Crashing in the Same Car are really great and another instrumental, Subterraneans, is a beautiful track. It really just makes for a nice and bizarre album experience.

    London Calling and Another Green World are excellent picks. Funny, my iffy memory would have placed those records in the 80's but that just shows how ahead of their time those were (especially the Eno record).

    When I read the OP question the first record that came to mind was Neil Young and Crazy Horse, "Zuma". I think the reason for this is that by the early seventies I was totally dismayed with rock music. I grew up with so much great music from the early sixties through around 1970 or 71 and then the whole thing started going down the drain so I gave up on rock for a while and listened mostly to jazz. And then a kid played Zuma for me and I got back into rock- especially when The Ramones and punk in general revived rock on their own terms. My old hippie friends thought I'd gone off the deep end. No way!

    Oh, and how back in the day I wish someone had turned me on to The New York Dolls self titled. That record kills!

    you so right about ''Zuma'' and N.Y.D...I'm gonna add also ''Bitches brew'' by Miles Davis

    Definitely going to check them out! David Bowie is easily one of my favorite artists of all time. But I don't really like the instrumentals I've heard by him so far.

    Crime of the Century
    Breakfast in America

    Were two massive albums.

    Why does Supertramp get no respect?

    And has anyone mentioned News of the World yet?

    Hmm, loads of great ones to choose from, it's probably a toss up between Dark Side Of The Moon and Zeppelin 4.

    Because once again were not stating what the best albums of the 70s were. We're saying which ones are our favorites.

    So, just because Supertramp isn't anybody's favorite Dosnt mean they don't have our respect? Lol a better word would probably be "recognition".
