    What would it be?

    For me,
    Joni Mitchell: The hissing of Summer lawns

    70's to a tee, lyrical content and overall sound.. What album takes you to that magical decade?

    Over to you, esteemed forum

    James Taylor - Sweet Baby James

    Kicks the era of the singer songwriter off perfectly...with just a touch of funk...

    Land of Make Believe - Chuck Mangione. Pure 70's. Sounds like Sesame Street meets Chico and the Man.

    Not a studio album, of course..

    It's a proven fact that there were only three homes in the U.K. that didn't have a copy of this LP in the 70s.:)

    DSOTM beats out Zep IV. Classic rock's pinnacle so it should be one of them, not Grease LOL
