Some Belters on your list for sure, but you have some "Obscure" bands littered all over the place, at least they are for me.

I appreciate the effort you put into these Joe...

Thanx LG.

71' was an awesome year for music. Some great stuff on that list ,Joe.

I'm too lazy to do a list like this one lol

 

[joe]

^^^Wolf, it takes me around 2-3 hours to do a list. I don't think I would be doing it if I was working. Doing this helps the day go by a little faster and keeps me from renting too much space upstairs.

No question, a fantastic year for music.

Thats a great list mate, should one day do a top 100 list myself, gonna run through a lot of bands discographies first.
