Whose Interested in helping me out?

[gigispeed1332]

So to give a little back ground me and two friends have made a list with set criteria to attempt to listen to all commercially and critically relevant albums in order from 1956 to present day. I am currently at the beginning of 1972. I was wondering if someone wanted to go through my list of 1972 to 1979 and let me know if we have missed anything relevant?

As for right now, our criteria is 1) Top 500 off Rolling stone Magazine 2) Top 500 off besteveralbums.com 3) Top 25 sellers of decade (although this may be more loosely followed in later years with artists like Backstreet boys, lol) 4) Any albums of artists which we already like or personal favorites

I have a List of all albums that I am listening through 1972 to 1979 (also have 80s done), but as for 70s, does anyone want to notify me of any great albums I may be missing from my list.

If someone wants me to post my long list, let me know, I would love someone to go through it and essentially proofread it (as I know alot of you probably have a more varied taste than me).

Thank you!

^^That's quite an undertaking Gigispeed...I don't have a lot of time to spare right now but it might be a good idea for you to post your list so some of our "experts" can help you out.
