Top 100 Albums of the 1970s
When  summing up music of the '70s, fans and critics tend to reject the "me" era with dismissive accusations of dinosaur rock, overwrought prog rock, and most damningly -- disco. But the albums of the '70s are often unappreciated, influential gems whose descendants can be traced directly to the artists of today. This inspired list from Pitchfork Media looks back at the best albums of the oft-derided decade and provides capsule reviews of every record in their top 100. As you scan through the list you'll find the familiar -- Dylan, Bowie, Led Zeppelin. But you'll also find highly-ranked albums from the obscure such as Can, Faust, and The Pop Group. If you're looking to fill some gaps in your CD collection or bone up on the best of the '70s, this list will provide hours of funkadelic fodder. (in Rock and Pop) |
