Hotel California avrebbe meritato.
Rumours dei Fleetwood Mac, nel 1977.
Anni '70, decennio d'oro.
Elton John due volte, il re degli anni '70.
Frampton Comes Alive!, il live più venduto.
Harvest di Neil Young, splendido.
Jesus Christ Superstar primo nel 1971, che sorpresa.
Saturday Night Fever, la febbre del sabato sera.
Bridge over Troubled Water apre il decennio, perfetto.
