10 Best Albums of the 1970s, Ranked

The 1970s can be looked back on fondly, with relative ease, as a rather remarkable decade for music. Like with any act of looking back, things might seem a little stronger because the stuff from the 1970s that wasn’t so good, nor felt fairly ordinary, isn't as well-remembered (if it’s even remembered at all). But even accepting/trying to ignore nostalgia’s role here, the 1970s was still incredible, for music.
