Stevie Wonder:Innervision


Rolling Stone:Beggars Banquet


Billy Joel:The Stranger


Television:Marquee Moon


Beatles:Abbey Road


Led Zepplin:Led Zepplin


The Who:Who's Next

[Smokey]

Jimmie Hendrix:Are You Experienced


Crosby, Stills and Nash:Crosby Stills & Nash


Jackson Browne:Running On Empty


Elvis Costello:This Years Model


Bob Dylan:John Wesley Harding


Neil Young:Rust Never Sleeps
