#5 best rock albums from the 70's
It's funny, but most of my kids have CD's from the seventies and love Led Zep, Beatles, Who...etc, so I know that the music from the seventies was something special...anyway I put in Zep II in the CD player & I forgot what a great piece of rock music that was - so here's my top five 70's.
1) Zep IV 2) Who's Next 3) Machine Head ( Deep Purple) 4) Abby Road (Beatles) 5) Stones ( Exile on Main St.)

Manassas - Stephen Stills
Exile On Main St - The Stones Frampton Comes Alive - Peter Frampton Northern Lights Southern Cross - The Band Planet Waves - Bob Dylan ...Just off the top of my head. And I agree - a great decade for doubles / albums.

Stones - Exile on Main St. Hendrix - Band of Gypsys The Who - Who's Next Television - Marquee Moon Queen - A Night At the Opera Contenders: Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen - Lost In the Ozone Janis Joplin - Pearl Hendrix - Cry of Love (re-released as First Rays of the New Rising Sun) Dylan - Blood On the Tracks The Clash - London Calling

What? Only 5? This is gonna be tough:
1. Led Zep IV 2. Who's Next 3. Exile on Main Street 4. Ziggy Stardust 5. Bad Company 1 Forgot how great the 70s was for music, despite disco. There was fantastic albums from Nick Drake, Neil Young, Marvin Gaye (since this is rock, couldnt fit What's Goin On), Stevie Wonder, Sly and the Fmly Stone, War...the list is almost endless. |

Where's the punk rock and "new wave"?
Lot's of good ones mentioned so far, but here are some omissions: The Clash: The Clash and London Calling The Sex Pistols: Never Mind the Bollocks Devo: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! The Ramones: The Ramones Talking Heads: More Songs About Buildings and Food I know that's six, but I couldn't pick just one Clash album and London Calling was late-1979 so it could be considered almost an 80's album...
