10 Top Albums of the '60s and '70s

[longknife]

Here's what I think should've been #1

and Simon & Garfunkle should've been 2nd. I will also add that I think Springsteen is probably the least talented individual ever to gain so much fame. To include him the with likes of Johnny Cash and Carole King is a travesty.

I'd have to put "Moondance" by Van Morrison in there somewhere.

I think there are way too many great ones missing, and ten is much too short of a list for 2 decades of greatness in music, IMO.

Dark side of the moon should be #1 on that list

Dark side of the moon should be #1 on that list

I believe its still the number one overall albums sold. just so many really great stuff just ten

There are a lot of really great artists/albums missing from that list. It seems rather lacking IMO.

As I sit and listen to the music on my hard disk, I tend to agree with everyone that there is no way just ten albums should even come close to representing those decades.

Not a great list

No Led Zeppelin ?
Jimmi Hendrix Experience?
The Doors?

They had Fleetwood Mac as #1. I like Fleetwood Mac, but #1?

Physical Graffiti was a great album from that time. That should have been included. People my age and younger are still listening to Led Zeppelin because they were and are so influential. I don't care if Pogo comes here and says they stole a song or whatever, that still doesn't change the impact they had on music.

I feel like it's almost a sin that Jimi Hendrix isn't on that list too. Good grief, he was only one of the best guitarists EVER!!!!

I remember when Hendrix came out in the 60's......it was like.....You GOTTA hear this
Nothing like it at the time

Possibly the worst, most inaccurate Top 10 list ever

Oh, I see. Too bad his life and career were cut so short.

That's another one I really enjoy! That list blows!

It'd have to be a Top 100, IMO.

Well there are such lists, but I think this kind of thing is too subjective to go by any list.
