Where To Watch
Choose your favorite album for each year of the '70s
Crank up the tunes, and the nostalgia.
Was the '70s the definitive decade for music fans? It seems like those ten years gave us absolutely everything.
So many artists, so many genres, and so many sounds. We've done the hard part of compiling some of the biggest-selling albums of each year. Now your job is the easy part: Just pick one album from each year that you like the most. Maybe you'll see a title that sends you back down memory lane, and you can spend the rest of your day listening to a forgotten favorite.
Let us know which albums we missed from each year. Maybe yours isn't included, so we want you to shout it out in the comments section below. Share your thoughts, your memories, and your poll results!

1970 ABB Idlewild South or Traffic John Barleycorn must die 1971 ABB At the Fillmore East 1972 Eat a Peach
John Barleycorn is my favorite Traffic album, and Eat a Peach is my favorite Allman's album. (sorry, Live at The Fillmore).
Well I have no choices here...quite a racist poll. There were sensational albums in different genres. Disappointing
57% My taste in music doesn't match with theses questions.
Aladdin Sane by David Bowie . 'Sorrow'.
For all the hard rocking going on in the 70's, this went towards the softer side.
Hmmm...I saw quite a few hard rock albums listed too.

If "Saturday Night Fever" was one of the top 5 choices for 1977, then why wasn't "Grease" included for 1978? That was the best movie and album from that year by far.
Agreed. 1978 was a below-par year for entertainment, and "Grease" - both the movie and the album - was oneof the few bright spots.

I’m just glad to see that Van Halen is winning 1978!
74 percent in this quiz.
Not very many classic rockers here. Mostly soft rock at best.
The most generic load of BS I've ever seen. I expected better.
It's about what I guessed. The votes are mostly going to the most vanilla stuff.

These types of quizzes are sorta fun to take for the memories , but, when you get your final result, I find it a bit lack luster.

Lots of great albums to choose from most of these years, but what about Boz Scaggs' "Silk Degrees" in 1976, Steely Dan's "Aja" from 1977, and debuts from The Police and The Cars in 1978 (not to mention their second albums in 1979)? Great stuff!
