Ultimate Classic Rock's 100 Top Rock Albums of the 70's
They are represented chronologically from the start of the decade.
Hotel California is the only Eagles album that makes the list, which is ridiculous when you see some of the crap that does make the list.

Those lists always annoy me! Is there a written version? I'm not going to click through 100 images to see their other picks when it sounds like most of them are unworthy.
Re: Ultimate Classic Rock's 100 Top Rock Albums of the 70's
I didn't see a written version. I was able to click through rather quickly. FM had two, Fleetwood Mac and Rumors. At least, that's all I remember seeing.

My favourite album of the 70s, Barnstorm didn't even make the top 100 when it was released so, until it's rediscovered by the darlings of the chic, only a privileged few of us can indulge in it's awesomeness. :nahnah:

I thought most of it was fair enough, but the first Dire Straits album missed out.
Re: Ultimate Classic Rock's 100 Top Rock Albums of the 70's
I'm a Queen fan. They were the second band I "found" when I was a teenager. I still adore them. So don't get me wrong here...
Whenever (and that is often) I see A Night At The Opera on these lists - or praised anywhere else as one of the greatest albums ever - the following comes to my mind:
Could this by any chance have anything to do with the fact that "Bohemian rhapsody" is on this album? If I gave the following list of songs to all the people who praise this as one of the greatest albums ever, how many of these people would recognize all the songs - and love them?
Death on two legs
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon
I'm in love of my car
You're my best friend
'39
Sweet lady
Seaside rendezvous
The prophet's song
Love of my life
Good company
God save the queen
It's a fine album, but A Day At The Races is a fine album too. Yet nobody ever mentions it.
To me it's like (and I'm a 10cc fan too!) calling Original Soundtrack one of the greatest rock/pop albums ever because "I'm not in love" is on it.

I guess Desperado is a little too country for Classic Rock. I'm surprised that some artists have multiple albums on the list, like Kiss and Black Sabbath. The big omission is Wishbone Ash and Argus. However, I have quite a few of those listed and my husband has a lot more.

Really? One of the greatest and most influential hard rocks bands ever at their absolute zenith.
Re: Ultimate Classic Rock's 100 Top Rock Albums of the 70's
I'm not surprised they have an album on the list but three? If it was a "heavy rock", then maybe. And where's Deep Purple in Rock?

I will talk to you about both Opera & Races as well as News Of The World & The Works as often as you like. Opera is in my Top 10 favourite albums - that's all of it, not just Rhapsody. Races includes Somebody To Love, White Man & Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together), for heaven's sake.
