Top 100 Music Albums of the 1970s by 
DaVGManiac 
This is by far the greatest decade in music history. There were so many talented artists, from hugely successful bands like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, to lesser-known ones like Big Star and Steely Dan. This is also the era when new genres such as electronica, heavy metal, jazz fusion and punk rock emerged. To this day, there hasn't been any other decade that packs the same amount of quality and quantity like this one, therefore it might remain unbeatable for a very long time going forward.
