According to Far Out Magazine
Far Out Article
2112 – Rush
Rumours – Fleetwood Mac
Who’s Next – The Who
Born to Run – Bruce Springsteen
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars – David Bowie
Ramones – Ramones
Van Halen – Van Halen
Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin IV – Led Zeppelin
Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd
Do you agree with this list?
What would you change?
For me being someone born in the mid ish 70’s. The band I love the most from 70’s is Fleetwood Mac. Favorite Album would be Rumours. So I definitely agree with that. I like Led Zeppelin, the Ramones and Bowie. Everything else on the list sadly I never really got into only knowing a few songs from each.
The one change I would make is replacing Bruce with an Eagles album

wouldn't change anything although Boston's first and London Calling would deserve to be on it.
and Aja. (is that rock?)

Solid list. Rumours deserves to be on any ‘best’ list but does seem oddly out of place with the others listed. It was definitely more produced and refined than anything else on there.

Agree with other comments about Boston. Never really a favorite of mine but you can’t deny the popularity and impact of that record.
I would add Frampton Comes Alive.
Not sure if you consider Saturday Night Fever rock…but that album was a monster too

I love Rumours but what exactly did it change? Same with Born to Run. No Clash, Talking Heads, Kraftwerk, Can?

The Cars debut album?
Posted on 4/9/24 at 4:03 pm to STigers
Besides showing that guys with no talent could be rock stars, what did the Ramones change? Maybe sub the Stooges for a punk entry?

“At Fillmore East” by the Allman Brothers Band certainly opened up the door for Southern rock and deserves to be on the list

I think a lot of people will disagree, but if we’re talking 1970’s, I think the debut album from KISS belongs on that list.

Solid list. Though I would have replaced Bowie w/Hell Freezes Over. Aside from that I don't have any issues.
Posted on 4/9/24 at 6:24 pm to STigers
As another poster said, Boston should be on list.
Posted on 4/9/24 at 7:08 pm to STigers
Probably should be an ELO or Roxy Music album on that list.
Posted on 4/9/24 at 7:21 pm to STigers
I would put T. Rex in there but which album I'm not sure, Tanx maybe.
Posted on 4/9/24 at 8:20 pm to STigers
You're missing a lot of Lynyrd Skynyrd !
And some Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti
And you're definitely missing Pink Floyd's The Wall, which was released in late 1979

(The List):
2112 – Rush [NO]
Rumours – Fleetwood Mac [YES. Featured two chicks as equal contributors. And, the new lineup debut album was arguably just as strong as Rumours]
Who’s Next – The Who [NO]
Born to Run – Bruce Springsteen [YES -- his unique vocal, "blue collar" shtick and rollicking E St Band combined different jazz-blues-rock indy style elements
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars – David Bowie [YES. Pioneer of Glitter Rock & Gender-Bending into the mainstream, well into the '80s. (for better or worse
) ] Ramones – Ramones [NO. proved devolutionary, sloppy, unimaginative Punk was pure hype, style-over-substance, PR and about "who you know"]
Van Halen – Van Halen [NO]
Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath
[YES. Ushered Heavy 666 Metal genre into the mainstream ]
Led Zeppelin IV – Led Zeppelin
[Zeppelin I YES.]
Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd [YES]
**************************************
Suggested Replacements (other than the already mentioned Boston, Allman Bros and Frampton, LIVE):
-- Derek and the Dominoes
-- Chicago II
-- Foreigner (Debut Album)
-- Moody Blues -- 7th Sojourn
-- Alice Cooper -- Schools Out
As to your suggestion of adding the Eagles, who were clearly a great band -- they didn't "change music history" with their earlier style (similar to Neil Young, Poco, America).
But their Hotel California might move that needle.
*Btw, nice post subject, OP.
