A list of the top 100 albums of the 1970s has been released, with one outlet ranking an iconic rock band's era-defining hit as the number one album of the decade. However, another report suggests that a 1971 classic has been ranked as the best album of the 1970s, indicating a possible discrepancy in the rankings. The rankings and lists appear to be part of a broader discussion about classic rock albums from the 1970s.
