Here is my top 20:

1. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
2. Judas Priest - Hell Bent for Leather
3. Rush - Fly By Night
4. Rainbow - Rising
5. AC/DC - Powerage
6. Motorhead - Overkill
7. Led Zeppelin - IV
8. Queen - News of the World
9. KISS - Love Gun
10. Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes
11. Molly Hatchet - Flirtin' With Disaster
12. Thin Lizzy - Jail Break
13. Van Halen - self-titled
14. Van Halen - II
15. ZZ Top - Tre Hombres
16. Deep Purple - In Rock
17. Triumph - Rock n Roll Machine
18. Queen - Live Killers
19. Rush - All the World's A Stage

Take this more as a 20 albums rather than a best or worse or any sort of ranking really... I mean I couldn't choose any one of those albums over the other but these are 20 from the 70s I really enjoy
