You knew this was coming, right? After last week's focus on the sixties, the seventies couldn't be far behind. (And, thanks to a request from notoriouslyunique, there will be a Beatles-themed post in the near future.)
So, without further ado, thirteen albums that rocked the seventies:
Dire Straits 1978 First Album
Van Halen 1978 First Album
Rolling Stones 1972 Exile on Main Street
The Who 1971 Who's Next
Neil Young 1972 Harvest
Wings 1973 Band on the Run
Robin Trower 1974 Bridge of Sighs
ZZ Top 1973 Tres Hombres
The Eagles 1972 Eagles
Led Zeppelin 1971 IV
Crosby Stills Nash & Young 1970 Deja Vu
Marvin Gaye 1971 What's Going On?
AC/DC 1979 Highway to Hell
(Note: I've formatted this list TWICE so the group name, year, and album title are all in separate columns, but it keeps going back to this format. Argh. Sorry for the lowered readability.)
What are your favorites? What didn't make the list that you think should have?

I am saddened by the lack of Bowie's "Hunky Dory". Not only is it my favourite album of the seventies, it is my favourite album of all time.
Is it wrong that I'm saddened by a lack of Barry Manilow here? I love "Even Now" and "This One's for You". I lived off of those two cassettes in grade school.
Awesome list. Hell, yeah.
But also...Houses of the Holy (my fav Zepplin album) and LZ III--because I still remember the first time I ever heard Immigrant Song every time I hear it!; Joni Mitchell/Blue; Bruce Springsteen/Born to Run; Pink Floyd/Dark Side of the Moon; Elton John/Madman Across the Water; Rolling Stones/Goat's Head Soup; Fleetwood Mac/Rumors; Emerson, Lake and Palmer/Trilogy; Moody Blues/Seventh Sojourn; Stevie Wonder/Songs in the Key of Life; Steely Dan/Can't Buy a Thrill; Jethro Tull/Aqualung...etc, etc, etc.
Damn...now I'm gonna have to go listen to all of them too.
Maia. Grade school? Christ, I feel old. LMAO
