Welp, this threads gonna be over in 10 minutes.
You boys are fast.
Just more proof the 70s were the best decade.

Fela Kuti - Zombie
Steely Dan - Aja (or Royal Scam for the patrician choice)
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

Charles Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music
Weather Report - Heavy Weather
Iggy Pop - The Idiot
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Public Image Ltd. - Metal Box
Ramones - It's Alive
Television - Marquee Moon
Blondie - Parallel Lines
The Cars - s/t
Cheap Trick - At Budokan
King Crimson - Red
Rush - Farewell to Kings
Led Zepellin - Physical Graffiti
Gentle Giant - s/t
Sly and the Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On
Parliament - The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame/Birds of Fire (your pick)
John McLaughlin - My Goal's Beyond
Big Star - Radio City
Embryo - Opal
Neu! - s/t
Faust - s/t
The Mothers of Invention - The Grand Wazoo

NEU! deserves a spot (maybe '75)
either Faust or Faust IV, leaning towards Faust IV
Klaus Schulze - X
Cluster II
Third Ear Band - Elements

Tim Buckley - Star Sailor

I think we may end up needing a 70's best - part 2 thread.

The best Parliament album is clearly Mothership Connection.

..Well shit.
We're done already.
That was fast.

Swapouts, I guess?

A Farewell To Kings should be swapped with Hemispheres

You have Sly & the Family Stone twice. Replace There's A Riot Going with Devo - Q: Are We Not Men?

Also replace Parliament's Clones of Funkenstein with their other album Mothership Connection.

I'll vouch for My Goal's Beyond getting removed in favor of Tim Buckley - Star Sailor, even if I was the one who suggested it. McLaughlin's already represented in Mahavishnu Orchestra.

>no rock bottom
>no soft machine

It's bloody hard to do anything with it, it's basically bursting; on top of that, it's not like it's incredibly focused on one style. Between jazz fusion, punk, post-punk, power pop, funk, soul, R&B, prog, krautrock, pop and even some ambient, it's on the verge of exploding.

Blondie should be swapped with something else in my opinion

...

Depends on the emphasis you put on power pop desu. I can see it being taken out. In that case, get in Soft Machine's Third.

This thread is going great.

What am I looking at here?
If you're crossing off bad albums you have bad taste.

>something else
I might have something in mind.

I would switch it for The Slits - Cut.

robert wyatt - rock bottom
nico - desert shore
popol vuh - hosianna mantra
pere ubu - modern dance

there are too many good albums from the 70's

I think "Exile On Main Street" and "Blood On The Tracks" deserve to be on there... I'd swap out Yes and Elton John, myself.

But yeah, we could do 70s part 2...

>we could do 70s part 2...
We could.
We will.
Right now.
Hang on one second.

This should be on there

Let's fucking do this.

Opal - Embryo

Talking Heads - Fear of Music
Exuma - Exuma
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescents
Mort Garson - Plantasia
The Residents - Meet the
Sparks - Kimono My House

This is the only decade that requires 2 charts.
I knew it was the best decade.

>This is the only decade that requires 2 charts.

You say that like we've gone through all of them.

Well I know the 80s is a dumpster fire so I highly doubt that one's gonna get 2 charts.

90s and 2000s are a possibility.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Pescado Rabioso - Artaud
Suicide - Suicide
Neil Young - After The Gold Rush

Comus - First Utterance

Sex Pistols - Nevermind the Bollocks
Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
Dead Boys -Young Loud Snotty

80s have a lot of cool post-punk, early golden age hip-hop, hardcore punk and alternative rock.

The 80's might, honestly. Just about.
Rainbow - s/t
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
George Harrisson - All Things Must Pass

>early golden age hip-hop
Never cared for 80s Hip Hop personally, probably dread that the most when I start it.

Beach Boys - Surf's Up (minus SDT obviously)

Herbie Hancock - headhunters
led zeppelin - houses of the holy

Vangelis - China
Jandek - Ready For The House
Television - Marquee Moon

Wings - Band on the Run

801 - 801 Live
Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure
Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy
Stardust
The Modern Lovers - S/T
Elvis Costello - Armed Forces

CCR - Cosmo's Factory
Chic - C'est Chic

>Bowie
I think it's only one album per artist

Third should be in there over Radio City for Big Star. Also, Loaded by The Velvet Underground.

Can you replace Meet The Residents with Not Available?

...

todd rungren - a wizard, a true star

that big star album was also on the other chart

All Things Must Pass

Yeah, I was saying replace Radio City on the other chart with Third

The Congos - Heart of the Congos

My bad.

Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
The Residents - Meet the Residents

Tom Waits - Closing Time
Curtis Mayfield - Curtis
Fela Kuti - Expensive Shit
Magma - Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh

Joy of a Toy - Kevin Ayers

Is there any Sun Ra in the list? If not, Sun Ra - Sleeping Beauty

The Beatles - Let It Be
Yellow Magic Orchestra - s/t
Grote Kees & Kleine Annie - Schaamliedjes

Bob Marley - Exodus

Sir Lord Baltimore - Kingdom Come
The Art Ensemble of Chicago - Les Stances a Sophie
John Cale - Paris 1919
The Sperm - Shh!
Terry Riley - A Rainbow in Curved Air
Budgie - Budgie
Taj Mahal Travellers - July 15, 1972
Curtis Mayfield - Superfly
Doug Snyder & Bob Thompson - Daily Dance
Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius
Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Live from the Penguin Cafe

I'm ashamed I forgot Tom Waits

Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire de Melody Nelson

You have Rock Bottom twice.

Welp, here it is.
Two charts one decade. Nice.
Worst chart thread should start soon.

Oh shit I do, hang on.

No Amon Duul II - Yeti? Damn.

>best of the 70s
>no Allman Brothers
Fixing this shit right now. Either this or if live albums don't count, Eat a Peach.

There we go.

looks good

Parliament - Mothership Connection
Caravan - If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You

XTC - Drums and Wires
Taeko Ohnuki - Sunshower
