This is basically a first among several equals for me.
What a great year. Like Penny,

Quadrophenia - The WhoIf there’s a more @creepycoug academis superiority guy song than My Old School I don’t know what it would be.

Houses Of The Holy - Led Zeppelin

Deserves mention. @RaceBannon knows what I mean. -
Quadrophenia - The Who@BleachedAnusDawg this album “rocks” harder than anything ever recorded.

Countdown to Ecstasy - Steely DanTrying to not go “off the board” here (TYFYS Yella!), it came down to 2 criteria...then vs.now
THEN: Dark Side (I remember my “smoking phase”); Skynyrd...I ain’t the one ++; Countdown...
NOW: Iggy; Quadrophenia; Countdown...Strong top to bottom for me, My Old School and Showbiz Kids (may have been the first time I heard an F-Bomb on radio)... -
Countdown to Ecstasy - Steely DanGetting old sucks...it may be just me, but every time I hear a “classic” song on KEXP / KBCS, my first thought is “Oh shit, did Stevie Wonder die? Did George Clinton just kick?”...FML

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Sounds like a punk garage band to me. There are only a handful of artists I like prior to the late-70's. Respect many, but don't care to listen to them (The Beatles, Stones, etc).YellowSnow said:@BleachedAnusDawg this album “rocks” harder than anything ever recorded.

Quadrophenia - The Who
They were perhaps the most influential Proto punk group of all time.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink FloydGreat year. My junior year in high school
I like Floyd better now than then. All time weeks on the chart
In 73 it was Houses of the Holy, Skynard. and the Who
What the fuck is Paul Simon on this list for? Was Rod out sticking gerbils up his ass? -
Quadrophenia - The Who
When I think back on all the crap you learned in High School, I say Fuck Off.RaceBannon said:Great year. My junior year in high school

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink FloydIt's Dark Side but Skynyrd was really close for me.
Pretty stacked year. -
Quadrophenia - The Who
For sure. It’s one of the most stacked. Probably a year where 3 albums get into the album tournament.dnc said:It's Dark Side but Skynyrd was really close for me.

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink FloydShame on usº
It wouldn't have changed my vote, but still. Great album. Waiting for The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago is a fantastic opener. -
Quadrophenia - The Who
Agree @GrundleStiltzkin. I’ve screwed over ZZ Top. But they don’t have an album that can win one of these years sadly.GrundleStiltzkin said:Shame on usº

If Eliminator isn't in 1983, burn this shit down.YellowSnow said:

Band On The Run - Paul McCartney & Wings
First off, kudos for all the solid pictures that start these threads off ... mad respectNoWarningJustDawg said:This is basically a first among several equals for me.
What a great year. Like Penny,
I'm terrible when it comes to albums and whatnot as it's never been my cup of tea listening to albums from start to finish ...
I'd definitely echo Elton John and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road though ... that's a super strong entry -
