Welcome back to this special retrospective music-posting feature. The gimmick is simple — each week, you post your favorite 25 (or whatever) albums of a given year. We are now moving backwards until we run out of either albums or years.
Welcome to the 1970s! Fun fact, this will be the 5th decade of music we’ve discussed in this feature. It’s also one that i don’t claim to know a whole lot about, but i look forward to seeing other people’s lists. Let’s get the ball rolling! Sock it to me?
