Seriously? No one's going to list Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours?"

"In 2020, Rumours ranked seventh in Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

I almost included it, but I like the Peter Green era just as much.. Danny Kirwan era... Bob Welch.. "I'm So Afraid" being my favorite song (probably) with Buckingham-Nicks (pretty good album, too) but I do love "The Chain", but my favorite songs of theirs are scattered from 1969 to 1982

Way too many to list but I'll list one that if you haven't checked out, you should - Masterpiece released in 1973 by the Temptations.

It lives up to it's namesake.

Ah, I have 1972's All Directions, and some of the tracks on the comp. Psychedellic Soul, but grabbing Masterpiece toot sweet! [sic.]

Best decade in the history of rock music. So many masterpieces of rock and other genres. Skin Alley is one of the many minor bands that have produced more than one great album.

I agree! I have almost 6,000 mp3s alone, and still discover great albums and sometimes great bands. Obscure, but thank you YouTube.

I'm not very good at knowing which album songs are on, so I keep running into discoveries, and must mention Esperanto's "Last Tango".
