While working today I had an online year randomizer choose a year for albums I would listen to throughout my shift. The year was 1972.
This is the playlist:
Black Sabbath - Vol. 4Captain Beyond - Captain BeyondDeep Purple - Machine HeadDust - Hard AttackDavid Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From MarsCurtis Mayfield - SuperflyBabe Ruth - First BaseFunkadelic - America Eats Its Young
Now that I am home, I am playing the self-titled White Witch album as a "bonus track" of sorts.

1972 is such a great year, all the albums with over three votes are 10's or very close to a 10.
