Doesn't have to be a critical decision of "what is the best", but rather your top 10 most favourite/most listened albums of the 70s. If you don't listen to any albums from that decade, then you can scroll this thread for something you may like.
1. Stevie Wonder - Innervisions

David Bow's Low, Doors' L.A. Woman, Lennon's Plastic Ono Band were the ones I left out but worth mentioning.
In my opinion, compressing the 70s down to 10 choices is really tough.

Here's some of my favourites just off the top of my head:

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
Miles Davis - Dark Magus

Can - Tago Mago
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon

I never really understood all the hype around Selling England by the Pound, I've listened to it a few times and I enjoy the first few tracks, especially First of Fifth, and I mostly enjoy it, however I really dislike the Battle of Epping Forest and my overall opinion of it is that it's good, but not great
On prog though, I feel I oughta throw out an honourable mention to Camel - Camel, another one of my all time favourites (especially from the 70s)

Gentle Giant - Octopus
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Kraftwerk - The Man Machine
Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner
