7 Best Albums Of The 1970s

Summer is a time to sit back, have a cocktail by some sort of water, and listen to music. The last 10 years have seen the virtual demise of the long-form album, but fortunately we have almost 50 years of good rock-and-roll to fall back on.  

And nothing fills a comment board like opinions about music, right? 

To that end, the top-7 albums from the 1970s. My criteria are as follows:

1. ONE album per band or artist.
2. The album must have critical AND commercial success. 
3. The album must stand the test of time - it needs to sound as good today as it did when it was released. In other words, it can't simply be "important" - it must be "good".

This is my personal opinion. Feel free to post your lists, or criticize mine.

#1 - Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd

#2 - London Calling - The Clash

#3 - Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin

#4 - Master Of Reality - Black Sabbath

#5 - Songs In The Key Of Life - Stevie Wonder

#6 - Exile On Main Street - The Rolling Stones

#7 - What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
