1971
A better year than the last for me. My favorite Bowie release, my favorite Rolling Stones release, my favorite Pink Floyd release, motherfucking T. Rex, the next best thing to The Beatles, another incredible album by Led Zeppelin (that might have been higher on the list if some songs weren't so played out), a stylistic shift from The Kinks before they started going downhill, my two favorite Yes albums, and another stellar release from Black Sabbath. And that's just the top 10! The next 10 features great albums from Spring, Elton John, The Who, Gentle Giant, Badfinger, Jethro Tull, Van der Graaf Generator, Peter Hammill, Genesis, and Traffic. And there's more to like beyond that. Incredible year!

1. David Bowie - Hunky Dory
2. The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
3. Pink Floyd - Meddle
4. T. Rex - Electric Warrior
5. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
6. Paul & Linda McCartney - Ram
7. The Kinks - Muswell Hillbillies
8. Yes - The Yes Album
9. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
10. Yes - Fragile
