Here is my personal top 10, I'm probably forgetting stuff, and this is only approximately in order because it can never be finalized of course.

1. Yes - And You And I: Cord Of Life/Eclipse/The Preacher The Teacher/Apocalypse
2. Grateful Dead - Lady With A Fan/Terrapin Station
3. Brian Eno - The Big Ship
4. Pink Floyd - Time
5. Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians
6. The Allman Brothers Band - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
7. The Beatles - Let It Be
8. Led Zeppelin - Over the Hills and Far Away
9. Mountain - Theme for an Imaginary Western
10. Television - Marquee Moon

I hope this thread hasn't been done before. :?

PS - I suck at life.

The whole reason I wanted to make this thread was to see where Peaches En Regalia would stand against my other favorites. For some reason I thought it was in '70 :(

Oh well. I still like my list.

I could fill this list just by picking almost entire albums by Sabbath, John Lennon, Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder, the Dead, Billy Joel, Elton John, Led Zep, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, the Stones and many others. Therefore, here are some that might not get mentioned, but are pretty good IMO for various reasons:

Surrender - Cheap Trick
Every Picture Tells a Story - Rod Stewart
So Lonely - Police
Stayin Alive - Bee Gees
Runnin With the Devil - Van Halen
Rich Girl - Hall & Oates

I'd instantly rock the following

Deep Purple - "Lazy"
Iggy And The Stooges - "Search And Destroy"
Keith Jarrett - "Part I"
The Clash - Lost In The Supermarket"
Frank Zappa - "Muffin Man"
Allman Brothers Band - "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed"
David Bowie - "Life On Mars?"
Yes - "Roundabout"
Rush - "2112"
Talking Heads - "Life During Wartime"
Supertramp - "Goodbye Stranger"

But then again my 70's music knowledge is pretty much exclusively limited to rock and or roll music, which is pretty dang limited.

Doing a list like this would be too difficult for me right now. Maybe someday I'll post my own.

Impossible. I don't think I could whittle down my 10 favorite punk songs from that decade, much less throwing rock and Motown into the mix.
