thirteen Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I consider the 70's the greatest decade of rock music, so a list of the 15 best albums is close to impossible! My 'list' is therefore: 70's AC/DC70's Deep Purple70's Black Sabbath70's Rush70's Rainbow 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) To make this a bit easier to narrow down, I'm leaving the borderline rock - ABBA, Earth, Wind & Fire, Tangerine Dream, Return To Forever, Bay City Rollers, Carpenters, etc - out of the equation .. One album per band Rush - Hemispheres Scorpions - Lovedrive ELO - Out Of The Blue Dead Boys - Young, Loud and Snotty Jon Anderson - Olias Of Sunhillow KISS - Destroyer Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic Queen - A Day At The Races UFO - No Heavy Petting Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak Bee Gees - Main Course YES - Fragile Ramones - Rocket To Russia Cheap Trick - In Color Van Halen - VH II Edited January 9, 2018 by Lucas 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is breathed into the songs with the Frampton, Queen, Wings, Cheap Trick, and Eagles efforts, especially. Also missing from my list... Sabbath, Skynyrd, Deep Purple, Rainbow, and on and on.

Blue J Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks (1975) YES! #metoo :P This one will definitely be on my list...I’m stoked to see that you included it as well.

What a decade! I think McCartney's might have the best transformation. The version of "Maybe I'm Amazed," on that album is the definitive version. Honorable mention is a tie: Do You Feel Like We Do and I Want You to Want Me. I've never heard the Queen or Eagles albums though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it has a fantastic acoustic set with Dreamer's ball, Love of My Life and '39. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
