I wanna try to break this down by decades.

For each decade I want everybody to post their top 10 albums from the decade.

The albums with the most votes will be added to the top 100 list.

1970s and prior = 15 albums will be added to the top 100 list

1980s = 25 albums will be added

1990s = 25 albums will be added

2000s = 15 albums will be added

There's definitely a lot. Musically the 70's is one of the best decades across genres...

The best decade id argue

 

[Goldie]

The Big Payback is James Brown most popular work, but I Can't Stand Myself and "Cold Sweat" changed music forever.


There wouldn't be a bounce or groove or that distinct flavor in music without that album.


Music prior to that was all foot tap music, Can't Stand Myself/Cold Sweat brought to music.
