love all these. voted Stones as it's my all-time favorite.
I think I'm loving that Can album more and more with time.

How on earth did On the Corner miss the cut? Still needs some revisionism.

Voted Neu!

AHHHHHH SAILIN' SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many outstanding candidates. Went with Roxy, against type.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i just couldn't not vote for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

the 1st roxy just ahead of pink moon and harvest. it still sounds modern and classic at the same time to my ears.

Top 5:

Ege Bamyasi
Roxy Music
Can't Buy a Thrill
Harvest
Talking Book

Another great year, the early '70s are such a goldmine.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

'70s Steely Dan shut out--must be a first.

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. 4
Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Dust - Hard Attack
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
Curtis Mayfield - Superfly
Babe Ruth - First Base
Funkadelic - 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.

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