1970s Vinyl Records
The '70s couldn't decide what it wanted to be, so it was everything at once. Classic rock hit its towering peak; punk tore it all down at the end; soul and funk got deeper and heavier; disco took over the dancefloor; and prog and krautrock pushed the album into the experimental stratosphere. It's the richest decade in the bins, full stop — the one where there's a whole world waiting in every direction you dig.

Where's the punk and disco?
Both live here and in their own corners — check Punk & New Wave for the punk end, and the funk/soul and electronic sections for the dancefloor lineage.
Are '70s originals worth chasing?
