Oh my gosh! What another great year for music that again makes a list difficult to put together. But anyways, here’s what I liked from 1971. Again, this comes from my personal taste more than it does critical worthiness! As always, please tell me what records you enjoyed from this year.

I think the ones you left off of your list- I like more than the ones you put on. Usually I am pretty close in agreement with you. But I agree with you totally on the John Prine-Who and Stones albums at the top.
Good deal of overlap between your list and my 10 favorite albums from ’71. In no particular order:
• ZZ Top – ZZ Top’s First Album
• Carole King – Tapestry
• Jethro Tull – Aqualung
• The Doors – L.A. Woman
• The Rolling Stones – Sticky Fingers
• Rod Stewart – Every Picture Tells a Story
• The Who – Who’s Next
• Pink Floyd – Meddle
• Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IV
• Yes – Fragile
If I would need to rank, the Stones, The Who, Zep and Carole King would be among my top 4.
