Hey mate,
You can nominate 3 albums per year is order of 3 votes, 2 votes and 1 vote.
If you’re not wanting to add anymore (in that format), I’ll just give 3 votes to the ones that are the only entry for a year…where you have 2 entries (71, 73 and 76) could you just indicate which is the 3 voter and which one gets the 2.

Looking at all the entries so far, it does come across as the weakest year of the decade.

I could only pick albums from 1974 based on playing guitar to a few of the songs lol.
(On the beach is a good song to work on your soloing)

No worries. And sure, I’ll start doing some research. Would certainly be interested in an 80s list, too.

Any post which lists Warren Zevon’s classic eponymous album deserves a like. Every other Zevon album is a let down, had to be because this one was THE ■■■■■■■ classic, and I don’t care which one sold more. He never matched it, but then, who did?
“And when California slides into the ocean,
like the mystics and statistics say it will,
I predict this hotel will be standing,
until I pay my bill.” Basically sums up life in one verse of aching majesty that has to be heard to be truly appreciated.

Sooooo, Mrs K. and myself have had a go at:
The Clash
Marvin Gaye
Skoz Baggs
Roberta Flack
Van Morrison
Joni Mitchell
So I’ve been having a crack. But not enough to commit to a best of for each year.
The funny thing out of all of that was, a couple of my work mates walk around singing Lido, but replace it with my name. I finally know who sings it now.
