Dreamboat AnnieDreamboat Annie by Heart
Buy new: $6.98 / Used from: $0.17
Dreamboat Annie marked the debut of Heart and the Beautiful Zeppelenesque WIlson sisters. I saw them on the Dreamboat Tour, and have been a life-long fan!
A Night at the OperaA Night at the Opera by Queen
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.49
A Night at the Opera was a very theatrical album eclectic in styles, but very satisfying in whole or in part.
Kick Off Your Muddy BootsKick Off Your Muddy Boots
Buy used from: $63.00
Solo album by Graem Edge of the Moody Blues. Very Lush Pop Rock. If you like the Moody Blues you will probably love this album like I do.
Brain Salad SurgeryBrain Salad Surgery by Emerson Lake & Palmer
Buy used from: $3.54
Here is an album that may not quite belong in the time frame by a year or two, but was another eclectic style bending album, going from rock ballad, to English Hymn, to ragtime, to hard core Classical. Different is putting it mildly, so is saying it is a great album.
Crack The Sky/White MusicCrack The Sky/White Music by Crack the Sky
Buy used from: $48.00
Part of what became the Progressive Rock movement. Crack the Sky's self Titled debut, was an amazingly well written and performed, strange kind of an album. Here is a set with the first two albums, but really I am mostly just a fan of the first.
Fleetwood Mac (Deluxe Edition)Fleetwood Mac (Deluxe Edition) by Fleetwood Mac
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $7.49
This introduction to the most comercially viable edition of fleeetwood mac became a staple after their mega successful Rumours. But it was one of my favorites taking the bestof the previious work of "Buckingham Nicks" original album.
Hotel CaliforniaHotel California by Eagles
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $1.48
The addition of Joe Walsh to the Eagles, changed them from the "Country Rock" icons popular with the Cowboys and Ski Bunnies, to mainstream Rock staple. Everyone owned this album.
RumoursRumours by Fleetwood Mac
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $2.47
Everyone owned this great Pop Rock album, for good reason.
Little QueenLittle Queen by Heart
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.30
Hearts sophomore album is just as good as Dreamboat Annie. If they never recorded another song after this they would deserve "Hall of Fame" status, but of course there is much more to come from the Wilson Sisters.
News of the WorldNews of the World by Queen
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $6.48
Queen really got the concept of the album as a whole.
AjaAja by Steely Dan

Jazz-Rock-Pop crazily intricate music. Genuis!
GauchoGaucho by Steely Dan
