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

10 rock albums from the 1970s that changed music history
According to Far Out Magazine
Far Out Article
quote:
*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
(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.

Exactamundo.
Never understood the hype. Seemed somebody at the music company was trolling real music artists and listeners, anxious to start a new genre based on leather, "swag" and "rough edges" that required no talent or imagination at all. "Hey! Let's call it 'Punk'!"
I could have grabbed my guitar and three other musicians, half-azzed it at first rehearsal and sounded twice as good (without the "1-2-3-FO!" and speed).

Bohemian Rhapsody was an album that I feel aided to a change of the industry

He started out as a Bob Dylan clone and then graduated to Americana rock and roll like Bob Seger, Southside Johnny, Steppenwolf, Aerosmith, J. Geils Band, etc. I like the guy but doubt his transformation from Dylan copycat to rock and roller really changed anything. If anything, his continued excellent lyrics paired with a more rocking style was somewhat unique but Bob himself had already done that.

That is exactly why the Ramones are important. They helped create a new DIY sound in rock that influenced countless bands that came after them. They stripped away everything except the primitive rhythms that rock & roll was based on.
And by the way, your statement is what old people said about the early rock & roll musicians like Bill Halley and Elvis.

Wow.
One of these lists that actually isn’t bad?
Can’t be rolling stone magazine.

I was a teen when the Ramones came out. A few dumb kids, the target audience, liked them. It's odd how their influence is over hyped in retrospect.
Old people said Elvis was a waste of talent, not a lack. They thought he should be a gospel singer like their beloved Blackwoods and Statesmen.

Old people thought rock & roll was not music and thought Elvis was horrible. I remember my Mom loved Elvis but my grandmother thought he was horrible and couldn't sing. I remember my music teacher in Jr High told us not to imitate Elvis singing because it was not very good.

They were underground for most of their career so it was difficult to see how impactful they were at that moment. But those "dumb kids" were the ones that went on to imitate The Ramones in the punk scene, punk pop scene of the 80's and even today with bands like the Idles. That is why they are held in such regard in retrospect.

idk how you can say that Van Halen ST didn't change rock n roll going forward. It was unlike anything else at the time, and it influenced rock and guitar playing in general arguably more than anything else for the next decade and beyond.
I've never even been a huge VH fan, but I respect the hell out of what they did for rock music. I enjoy that first album so much though mostly because I like to imagine what it would have been like for a teenager or young adult in '78 to put the needle on that record for the first time and hearing those slowed down car horns into the bass thump into the opening chords of Runnin' With the Devil and having your mind obliterated. Had to have been killer.

Elvis was of the devil. Lawdy! He shook them hips to sell records. Nothing musical about him.
