Pitchfork Media, which is a pretty good music review site, has finished posting the top 100 records of the 1970s. As I cruise through the list I’m realizing that I have a lot of these albums on vinyl. Some of them I didn’t realize were from the 70s. Some I’m also kind of ashamed of owning. So without further ado the records I own and the position they are at on the chart (which I will put in the extended entry since very few people will care about this) 🙂

Wow. I have almost 25% of the best albums of the 1970s. I own a couple of them on CD as well as on record but not many. Great music though.
