[Music] Greatest 70’s Albums

[lawros left foot]

The decade came in with the Beatles, and left with Two Tone, with some great albums in pretty much all musical genres in between.
So, inspired by the Radio 2 1980’s albums weekend ( an inferior music decade, IMO) .
what iyo, are the greatest 70’s albums.


I’ll start with,

Hunky Dory. David Bowie
The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle. Bruce Springsteen
All Mod Cons The Jam.
