Wow! What a stunning list of albums at the top of the charts back then. Can you name the artists? - Trouble - 09-23-2010

I've mentioned the TV show "Classic Albums" before, and they just showed this one on "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and I am absolutely stunned at the top twenty albums at the time. I'm going to list the albums and see who can name the artists. No cheating.

1Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
2) Goat's Head Soup
3) Brothers & Sisters
4) Quadrophenia
5) Los Cochinos
6) The Smoker you Drink the Player You Get
7) Angel Clare
8) Don't Mess Around With Jim
9) Life & Times
10 Let's Get It On
11) The Joker
12) Innerversions
13) 3 + 3
14) Jonathan Livingston Seagull
15) Ringo
16) We're An American Band
17) Deliver the World
18) Killing Me Softly
19) American Graffiti
20) The Dark Side of the Moon

I know #1, #2 (I think), #4, #8, #11, can almost remember #16, #18, & of course I know #20.

Edit: I did know #2. Googled just to check.

I feel confident about nine of those.

Was "the time" 1975?

Got eleven, but American Graffiti doesn't have an "artist" per se.

Honestly, while some of those albums are all time greats, a few should be buried by the sands of time.:eye:

Ok....numbers 1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11,12,(if that is Innervision, not Innerversions),15,16 18, 20. More like '73.

15 is hard.
Ironic that Dark Side is 20, yet now the best-selling album of all time OF ALL TIME

I'd probably be correct on 10 or 11 of them.
