60 Albums 1973

Back again to the 60 favorite albums in my collection lists from each year. A lot of my all time favorite albums came out in 1973. It was also my last year in the Navy so it was a big life transition year of leaving the military and preparing for college.

I don't think I purchased much music in 1973 but I made up for it the following year getting what I had missed. This was a year that several of my favorite artists of the time were releasing multiple albums. Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, David Bowie,  and Roxy Music all have two albums on this list. This was certainly a year for what would eventually be known as Classic Rock. I still listen to much of this list today.
