Note: I'm not saying these are the BEST albums of the 70s, just the Most Essential ones (eg, the ones that answer the question "What IS the 70s").
(In no particular order)
1. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie
2. Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack
3. Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
4. Never Mind the Bollocks - The Sex Pistols
5. Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
6. Tapestry - Carol King
7. A Night At the Opera - Queen
8. Young Americans - Bowie
9. Whichever Led Zepplin album has Stairway to Heaven on it
10. Whichever Lynyrd Skyrnd album has Freebird on it
Note: I would not be caught dead with half those albums.
To clean my palate, here is now the 10 best albums of the 70s:
(again, in no particular order)
1. Diamond Dogs - David Bowie
2. The Kick Inside - Kate Bush
3. Here Come The Warm Jets - Eno
4. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie
5. Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
6. Duty Now for the Future - Devo
7. A Night At the Opera - Queen
8. Never Mind the Bollocks - The Sex Pistols

This album is misunderstood. You must know some background, AND appreciate jazz. |

jaco pastorious is also featured on joni's hejira and don juan reckless daughter. mingus is underrated but you obviousley can't compare a tribute album like mingus to an original material album like hejira

But, a tribute album does just that - honor great talent. An essential exposure to several talents in 'Mingus' is why I included it on this list. Besides being a fan of bass and percussion. |

- Fleetwood Mac (gotta be there)
