Subject: The Biggest Albums of the 70s

Let's begin this topic with this album.
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Uc0sZ6envRg/TccJxhCYsII/AAAAAAAAA08/3zv1jIvZpfI/s1600/Fleetwood%2BMac%2B-%2BRumours.jpeg
I got it when I was 16, played the entire album over and over again. There is not 1 bad song on the album.
The singles were:
"Go Your Own Way", "Don't Stop", "Dreams", and "You Make Loving Fun"
And do not forget that wonderful ballad by Christine McVie, "Songbird"

The 474 weeks...longer that Pink Floyd's "Dark side of the moon?" (which I'm sure will be added to this list in the future).

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0d/Mike_oldfield_tubular_bells_album_cover.jpg
Tubular Bells is the debut record album of English musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1973. It was the first album released by Virgin Records and an early cornerstone of the company's success. Vivian Stanshall provided the voice of the "Master of Ceremonies" who reads off the list of instruments at the end of the first movement.
The opening theme, which was eventually chosen for the 1973 film The Exorcist, gained the record considerable publicity and is how many people have probably first heard the work. Along with a number of other Oldfield pieces it was used in the 1979 NASA movie, The Space Movie. The opening theme has been sampled by many other artists such as Janet Jackson on her song "The Velvet Rope". The opening theme has also gained cultural significance as a 'haunting theme'; partly due to the association with The Exorcist.

Oldfield sells best in the New Age and Adult Contemporary markets here in the U.S. His siblings Terry Oldfield and Peggy Oldfield have musical careers too. He's charted numerous hits, including several top tens, around the world, but never another in the U.S. since "Tubular Bells" went to #7 in 1974. The U.S. version is different from the UK version.

Non-singles, heavy AOR airplay:

"The Wall" could qualify as one of the Biggest Albums of the 80s because it was released on 11/30/79 with most of its chart action in the early eighties and The Wall movie coming out in 1982.

The US single version is a rather loose hatchet job of the first theme of the first side of the LP - the tune that was played in The Exorcist...
The UK single version was a re-recorded version of the first theme of the second side of the LP...

Bat Out of Hell --
"Bat Out of Hell" didn't crack the Billboard Top 10, but the album just kept selling and selling and selling year after year. The Hot 100 singles positions also do not reflect the heavy AOR airplay the entire album received in the late seventies.

SEX PISTOLS
Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols
Virgin (UK)/Warner Bros. (U.S.)/1977
http://ohqueen.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/sex-pistols-never-mind-the-bollocks.jpg
Album: #106 (U.S. -- Platinum)/#1 (UK -- Platinum)
Singles:
Anarchy in the UK: #38 (UK)
God Save the Queen: #2 (UK)
Pretty Vacant: #6 (UK)
Holidays in the Sun: #8 (UK)
It took a while, but NMTB was certified Platinum in the UK in 1988 and in the U.S. in 1992. This album set the standard for punk rock for the next thirty years. The album charted low in the U.S. and the singles didn't chart at all. Most Americans did not even hear of the Sex Pistols until Sid Vicious was charged with Nancy Spungen's murder, and thousands of Americans who bought NMTB, like myself, didn't do so until years after Sid was dead and John Lydon was a big success with Public Image, Ltd.
Note: The album cover background on the UK version was yellow while the background on the U.S. version was a tea rose color.

I can probably recite almost everything on Side One from memory.
"Does anyone have any questions."
"Yeah. Who cuts your hair?"
Can't tell you how many times I will say, "Everything UP HIS NOSE it goes" What was funny, when that was popular, I had no idea what it was about. :-http://image.timepassagesnostalgia.com/watermarked/imagesc0/c034cheechonga.jpg
I have the album complete with the original rolling paper.

Four of my favorites that came right to my mind were as above "Tapestry" Yellow Brick Road" After the Gold Rush by Neil Young, and That's The Way of The World, by Earth Wind and Fire. There was just so many, many great album's in the 70s and musicans it was like just one great song or whole album getting churned out month after month. What a beautiful time!
