Oh no, Where is the album “Horses” by Patti Smith, I think it should be within top 5……….. That is considered one of most important album in Punk Music History

No.2 should be No.1 The Who “Who’s Next”. The final lyric of “Won’t Get Fooled Again” as it goes “Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss” The Who in my opinion will always be the Once and Future Rock Band……..

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band is considered artistically superior to Imagine, which was only more commercially successful. Likewise, Exile On Main Street is considered artistically superior to Sticky Fingers.

There’s at least one on here that *might* have appeared in 1969; I’m not sure. But even so, I’ve got a couple of albums on my list no one else seems to have. Ahh well, I don’t care. These are MY favorites.

I totally agree. The 70′s was a golden decade for music.

There were just so many good albums in the 70′s, it’s almost a crime to limit that decade to a Top 10 list.

Leonard Cohen’s 1970 Songs of Love and Hate (a standout on this album, in my opinion, is Dress Rehearsal Rag. The song is so emotionally powerful, so depressing, Cohen rarely performs it.

Frank Zappa’s Hot Rats, which is considered by quite a few music critics as the most influential album of the 70′s.

Miles Davis’s *****es Brew (Damn!).

Several of Funkadelic/Parliament’s albums (where would hip hop be without this band?). Just listen to 1971′s Maggot Brain, for example.

Stevie Wonder’s Talking Book is a great one.

There are just too many.

Honestly, I wouldn’t expect people to know about this album but Octopus by Gentle Giant was quite a good album. Also, you shouldn’t limit this list to just Rock and Pop. There was much more going on in the 70′s than meets the eye.

Whether the most influential album or best album, may I respectfully suggest Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield?
