Okay, that was cool seeing CAN - Future Days and Tago Mago in there! I wasn't expecting that either!

I like the Ringo Starr Bad Boy album. I think the album Hot Streets by Chicago has several memorable songs.

I'm looking forward to you getting Can Saw Delight & Flow Motion. Will be interesting to hear what you think of them.

I would have had some ELO albums at the top. And Steve Hacketts first solo album. A bit of Abba and Bee Gees too. More Paul McCartney as well.

I’ll have to check this website out. Also, I think those are good album picks for your next “Does this album suck“ series.💁🏻‍♀️💿

I like how for Ringo's, "alcohol" is a music style or feeling 🤣

[threestringsomg]

I love unconditionally guaranteed for sure.

"Scorching Beauty" is CRIMINALLY under-rated.

My favourite from the 70s is Exile on Main St. Pink Floyd’s Animals is another favourite. I will have to watch the video again because I have a mental blank of what was on the list. The best five from the list plus the best five missing would make an interesting list. A popular album I don’t like is Songs in the Key of Life - for me Innervisions and Talking Book are better. When I hear Sir Duke come on I throw my shoe at the radio 😊. Aja by Steely Dan is soulless and the antithesis of a time of great music.

It's a shame that Scott Walker's lesser albums ended up so close to each other on the list. Anyone who has never heard of Scott Walker would assume the guy sucks when he was in fact one of the most talented artists. Yeah, he struggled a little in the mid 70's, but his first five solo records and everything in the 80's up until his death were amazing. Plus the Walker Brothers reunion in '78 was great because of his groundbreaking songs.

And, Eno's Another Green World is pure brilliance and I'm pretty sure you'd love it.

The top list appears to be somewhat curated by fanatical Pink Floyd gatekeepers but nice to see Mozart make an appearance I guess. Take that Steve Reich!

Hi Larry i think moontan and the switch from golden earring are very great 70's albums and very underrated 👍✌️

My two favorite albums of the 70s selling England by the pound and thick as a brick.

You've talked about selling England is a pound on one of your videos.

Scott Walker was a pop singer in the '60s and he was lead vocalist for The Walker Brothers, who had hits with "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" and "Make It Easy on Yourself". They sounded similar to Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, contemporary but kinda middle of the road.

15 Big Ones, MIU Album, and LA (Light Album) are cheesy but far from bad, in my opinion. There are some really strong tracks, especially by the three Wilson brothers. It's a shame none of their great albums from the decade cracked RYM's top 80

Glad to see my two favorite Pink Floyd albums ('Wish You Were Here' and 'Meddle') in the top eighty, with the former ranked first, no less. 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic' is likely King Crimson's masterpiece, though my favorite is their debut 'In the Court of the Crimson King' (not eligible of course for this particular list). 'Born to Run' definitely deserves a place in the top eighty. All the albums cited positively seem secure classics.

I wonder Larry, your being a fan of Can, if you've seen the 1970 film 'Deep End', directed and co-written by Jerzy Skolimowski, and starring Jane Asher and John Moulder-Brown. The soundtrack features Can's track "Mother Sky" to spectacular effect, and this served as my introduction to their music.

I was surprised that the Grateful Dead's Wake of the Flood, From the Mars Hotel (Ugly Rumors), or Blues For Allah were not on this Rate Your Music best list. I am looking at their list right now as I type.

[TheAstronomyFloyd]

Sparks are in the list if you kept going to the next page 😇

[janetsampson]

I don't see the point in rankings Larry, as I've said before music is a personal thing, you like what you like and I don't like a lot of what this person likes, he's obviously not a Beatles or Sparks fan but that's his choice, yesterday I listened to Band On The Run again and thought wow what a great album from start to finish, it's probably Paul's most polished album and it wasn't even on his list.

Ringo & The Beach Boys multiple offenders on the list of mediocrity 😆 🤣

[mutant_blues]

It's a pity that all these years "Squeeze" has been accompanied by such a bad reputation...(the truth is that in recent years it has risen a bit in the estimation of listeners). Being a huge Can fan, I consider "Tago Mago" to be the greatest album of the '70s! I think you'll find Brian Eno's "Anothet Green World" quite interesting, it has a "kraut" vibe to its sound!

I've been comparing various "top metal albums" lists compiled by different websites and, just had a look at RateYourMusic's (RYM) list. The lists are as alike as chalk and cheese! RYM does not have any Led Zeppelin albums in the top 300 (and may not have any, I haven't seen beyond 300) focusing significantly on progressive metal from the 1990s and later. Meanwhile, another list has at least two LZ albums and lists many albums by hard rock bands as top metal albums. Still other lists concentrate on the 1980s to early 1990s albums. I suppose these "top anything" lists depend on those that frequent a website (that allows votes) or the opinions of those that operate the site and create the rankings.
