Top 5 Albums of the 70's

[SpiderWars]

This is a post-70's site for the most part so let's see what folks here like. Some of us had older siblings that influenced our early music, some of us were the older siblings and passed our music on to our youngers.

In no particular order, just list five favorites. I'm taking the low hanging fruit first.

Fragile - Yes
DSOTM - Pink Floyd
The Song Remains The Same - Led Zeppelin
Frampton Comes Alive - Peter Frampton
Van Halen - Van Halen

And it feels a crime to leave out so many others. But you gotta draw a line, so just five.

 

[VonBonfire]

Boston-Self Titled (My older sister loved Boston)

Freddie King-Burglar

BB King-Indianola Mississippi Seeds

Heatwave-Too Hot To Handle

Bobby Womack-Communication

Too many to chose from. I like OP’s list minus the zeppelin.
I’d have to add in Powerage , Jailbreak and a host of others. Will work on a list tomorrow while I’m bored at work.
