Re: Albums of the 70s: Results!
What's up with everyone hating on the Brazilian albums? It was cool that so many made the final round, but I was hoping at least Africa Brasil would do better.

Re: AMF 1970s Poll, Prediction Thread (Spoilers)
I should have stuck with my original hunch that Stairway and Bohemian Rhapsody would place below Tangled Up in Blue! That is a nice surprise for me but runs in contrast to all of our previous polls. I'm feeling very good about my pick of Heroes at #1 given Life on Mars exceeded expectations.
