1975

The year 1975 was a year of classic and epic rock albums. Most of the artists on this list are considered to be mainstream and everyone knows them. This goes to show that in the 70's actually the best bands were in mainstream. I couldn't have left any of these albums from the list, since they're all important to me as well as objectively appreciated albums. The vintage factor of this list is quite amazing. Musical styles range from folk to progressive rock and from rock operas to hard rock and folk. Also glam rock and electronica are featured. It looks to me as though the year 1975 was the culmination of the big stadium bands, before punk took over showing that everyone could make music again. There's a funny colour pattern in the top four. Perhaps white was in fashion in 1975.
