Music of 1973
 

Recently saw this yahoo article listing 65 great albums on their 50th anniversary. Man, for those of us of a certain age it's a feast of transformative music. I knew '73 was a great year, but seeing this entire collection altogether is impressive.

Nice to see prog well represented

Love seeing Bob Marley get 2 albums in the top 15!! Would have liked to see Fela Kuti’s album Gentleman on this list. But I suppose Afrobeat was/is a genre most don’t know about. Great album from start to finish!

Dark Side was a monumental album.

I used to get a kick out of that Bryan Ferry album.

Phenomenal album.

I Wonder why Pink Floyd isn’t number 1, Dark Side of the Moon is still awesome.
