Top ten pop/rock albums by decade: 1970s

Continuing the series I with the 1960s began, is the top-10-pop/rock albums of the 1970s according to the reviews of user RateYourMusic.com website (a related my favorite music websites.)


I am the current ranking which add each album on Amazon's best selling music list for the output of the 1970s. It is interesting to see which older albums sell well for me.


# 01 Pink Floyd - dark side of the Moon (# 234)
# 02 Pink Floyd - wish you were here (# 450)
# 03 David Bowie... Ziggy Stardust... (# 1738)
# 04 Led Zeppelin - IV (# 367)
# 05 Joy Division - unknown pleasures (# 4113)
# 06 Bob Dylan - blood on the tracks (# 1146)
# 07 The clash - London calling (# 1285)
# 08 Pink Nick Drake - Moon (# 1973)
# 09 Television - Marquee Moon (# 16,145)
# 10 Black Sabbath - paranoid (# 970)


You can see by you are the sales rankings, Unknown Pleasures and especially Marquee Moon a bit below the mainstream radar compared to other albums on this list. If you "know it all music snob" what want to get going, get your best to hear these albums (if you not yet.)


Some more 70 years rankings


# 14 The Who - WHO's next
# 16 The rolling stones - sticky fingers
# 26 The rolling stones - exile on Main St.
# 37 Brian Eno – another Green World
# 45 John Lennon – John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band
