Today should be called “70’s Rock Day” in honor of the many classic rock and/or roll albums that make up our favorite entries this Tuesday.

The “greatest selling album of all time” makes it onto our list alongside some fantastic debut albums.

A masterpiece of improvisational jazz piano, the break-through album of an Oklahoma City group, the vulgar songs of a children’s author and more are included on today’s favorite albums.

Today, we get a double-dose of Paul McCartney, and a dose of something fun prompts Harry Nilsson to record an album-length fable.

As we crack into WESU’s top 100 favorite albums, we see the first album jointly chosen by 4 of our staff members. The selection by a master of jazz whose band members became major figures as solo performers is joined by a number of universally acclaimed recordings.
