60 Albums 1972

Another 60 albums from my collection from a great year in music.  I was really torn between Exile and Ziggy as my favorite of the year. It probably depends on the moment I'm doing the list. I have a lot of long time favorites on this list.

I spend most of 1972 overseas but we had a nice network of getting music throughout the ship. People got occasional packages from home that contained music and people shared. I was back in the states off and on throughout the year and always tried to catch up on albums. A lot of these I picked up a few years later for myself after hearing the music from friends. This year we also heard the expanded version of Exile On Main St which also sounded much better. It was almost like hearing the album for the first time.
