I am a 70's baby. Born in 71. So I had lots of exposure to the 70's music scene that was happening. And I would like all of you to put your thinking caps on and list your 15 fave albums from the 70's. If a album came in late 69 into 70 then include that. If a album came in late 79 into 80 then include that as well. Now for my picks:
1. Stevie Wonder-Songs In The Key Of Life
2. Parliament-Mothership Connection
3. Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti
4. Michael Jackson-Off The Wall
