Apparently we have very similar taste in music. I was happy to see John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band as your #1 1970s album.

I originally had Yoko's Plastic Ono Band on my list, but I replaced it with Fly since it's a double album. There's not a track on either album that I don't like.

Yoko Ono? really? I had no idea she was considered a real artist. I only ever heard her on the b-side of a couple of Lennon singles I bought years ago (Starting Over and Woman from Double Fantasy) and on first listen thought they were awful, so never listened to them again. I didn't even realize until I just now looked into it that she had half of the tracks on that album since I never bought it.

Yeah, I hear you but as far as records go, Parade is Prince hitting on

all cylinders; it's the Prince album I can play from start to finish without

wishing the next song would start already.

I knew I spoke too soon: some of these lists are fucking

atrocious.

20ten?
