These are the best albums of the 1970s, correct?

These are the best albums of the 1970s, correct?

Good contenders I'd say desu

theres countless others you're missing but those 4 are good

No. I'll post with the actual ones in A minute.

The Slider is better than electric warrior but pretty decent list

Don't forget that collection of album's most popular child.

Needs a Sabbath album

I'd have gone with
>Tago Mago
>"Heroes"
>Chairs Missing
>Dub Housing
Maybe Surf's Up over Dub Housing

I kept it to one per artist.
Here's the best releases from each year of the 70s.

Plebs never know...

Indeed.

I’m a big Beach Boys fan, but Surf’s Up has got to be one of the most overrated albums of all time

You can't have the best albums of the 70's without a post-punk album

This one is alright except for Dub Housing/Surf's Up

You could make a case for it but it's not nearly consistent enough in my opinion.

Just absolutely trash.

>not nearly consistent enough

really - where is the inconsistency? its a straight up badass mutherfucking show from start to finish...the greatest live album ever.

inconsistent- LOL.

>no prog

What’s trash about my list?

>Just absolutely trash.

pleb detected.

Its was one of the most important ground breaking releases of the decade and changed the music world. You must be a pleb or soyboy...

I actually think it's underrated, people say only the second half is good but Student Demonstration Time is the only bad track on there. Take A Load Off Your Feet in particular gets way more hate than it deserves.

yikes

If every song was You Don't Love Me or Whipping Post I'd be happy, the shorter songs just don't hold up to those.

Joni Mitchell, Elton John, Bee Gees

Groundbreaking doesn't mean it's good. In my eyes it basically led to the death of rock.

Bee Gees is at least understandable. The fuck is wrong with Joni and Elton?

>yikes
am I on Twitter?

Both Elton and Joni have better albums and even those aren't best of the decade material by any means except maybe Blue.

came here to say this. op's pleb as fuck

Blue, Summer Lawns, and Hejira are all contenders for the 70s.
Elton has TONS of great albums that could be contenders.

>prog
>good

because Spacemen 3 referenced it

>the shorter songs just don't hold up to those.

Statesboro? really ?

Elizabeth Reed?

Dont keep me wondering?? wtf?

you have lost all credibility

in fact i am not. even if I was, this isn't an argument at all.

but lou BTFOs spacemen 3

Never been a fan of Sally Can't Dance. The others are fine contenders but I've always loved Street Hassle. "Gimme Some Good Times", "I Wanna Be Black", and "Real Good Time Together" are solid, and "Street Hassle" is a masterpiece and probably the best thing Lou did post-VU. Admittedly, my love of that song probably inflates my rating of the album overall.

>Groundbreaking doesn't mean it's good. In my eyes it basically led to the death of rock.

LOL. well that explains it...your an idiot.

David Bowie - Heroes
King Crimson - Red
Iggy Pop - The Idiot
Neu! - Neu!
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

can somebody redpill me on metal box? every time i try to listen to it i just get bored halfway through and put on this heat or wire instead

kek

Maybe listen to Flowers of Romance instead

I like:
The Who - Live at Leeds
John Cale - Vintage Violence
Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman
Flower Travellin' Band - Satori
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
T. Rex - Electric Warrior
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Charles Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music
Yes - Close to the Edge
Can - Ege Bamyasi
Iggy and The Stooges - Raw Power
Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure
Lou Reed - Berlin
Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets
New York Dolls - Too Much Too Soon
Patti Smith - Horses
Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Blank Generation
David Bowie - "Heroes"
Wire - Pink Flag
The Pop Group - Y
Gang of Four - Entertainment!
The Clash - London Calling

ftfy

>King Crimson - Red
title track ruins it
>Iggy Pop - The Idiot
funtime and baby ruin it

Low isn't even the best in the berlin trilogy

>title track ruins it
come again?

its too repetitive and the melody is boring

But that's completely untrue

Not definitive but pretty much the best you'll find from the 70s

Maybe in your opinion, but not in mine

stormcock is brettygood

I'd take 154 over chairs missing personally

street hassle is a good album and the title track is arguably his best work

kill you'reself

Nothing holds a candle to this, sorry. Best release of the decade.

I'd replace Big Star with some Roxy music, but sure good enough

the title track is great but songs like i wanna be black and gimme good times are not very good lets be honest

This is my favorite album from the 70s

I get it if you don't like progressive rock and you think it's nerdy or contrived or whatever, I think this album is just an artistic achievement. Amazing variance of material, the band's best performances across every member, it's just a perfect album for me and transcends the tropes of prog rock like 70s Rush, Jethro Tull, and Gentle Giant type stuff.

I'm still a really big fan of all kinds of music though, I'm no music elitist, listening to Raw Power right now actually that's why this thread caught my eye.

This person is correct

I Wanna Be Black is amazing.

Last year I saw The Prodigy and did a bunch of drugs. Afterwards I was walking through a long tunnel on my own in the early hours of the morning, and Sound and Vision started playing on my phone.

In that moment, it was the greatest song ever made.

I've heard all Gabriel-era Genesis up to this album. It seems inacessible as fuck with all its lenght and concept. I should probably listen to it

...

I'd take the modern dance over dub housing personally.

Literally how has this not been posted yet, greatest album of all time.

Their previous work was better in some aspects, but as said, try flowers of romance instead, it's a lot shorter

>funtime
I'd agree with you on Baby being the standout bad track, but funtime is a charm

>Inaccessible
It's all over the place. I remember listening to it as a young kid and immediately being taken by it so maybe I'm weird. It has a lot tracks on it so I'm sure you'll find at least one to your liking if not 5 or 6.
