Would have to spend a little time ranking the rest , but hands down for me the #1 album from 1972 is Exile on Main Street. Gritty, raw, bluesy, rock, country - it’s got it all and I like it, like it, yes I do!!
72 was a breakthrough year for David Bowie. The Album Ziggy Stardust was released along with David & Mick Ronson producing & Ronson playing Guitar String Arraignments & Piano on Lou Reeds Signature Album Transformer. Just listen to Ronson’s Piano & String Arraignments on “Perfect Day”. Then Bowie gave Mott The Hoople their Signature Hit “All the Young Dudes” and saved Mott’s existence for a Wonderful 3 Album Run. Bowie & Ronson were On Fire in 1972.
Purple. Sabbaff. Bowie. Reed. Tull. Dan. Stones. Young. Wonder. West, Bruce & Laing “ Why Dontcha “. Couldn’t stand Yes lol. I’ve placed Purple before The Sabs based on the fact that “ Smoke On The Water “ is as iconic as , say, “ Whole Lotta Love” but there’s very little to choose between them. The album “ Why Dontcha” is one of the best first albums by any band I’ve ever heard. Shame the follow up was dreadful but that’s drugs n booze for ya! Best wishes from England 🏴 ( where the Premier League is almost about to resume ⚽️).
I have to take issue with Stevie Wonder/Steely Dan phases. You're not going to decided they weren't all that great, after a period of reflection. Two very strong number 1s, though.

Wow! A trip down memory lane for sure😊 Happy to see Ziggy get a number 1 as for me it's such an iconic album. Hearing Stevie's "Superstition" again immediately teleported me back to a couple of sweaty '70's discos I used to frequent back in the day. Great video overall and thoroughly enjoyed it. 😃

Ngl , Dev could do the "burlesque " quite well . An excellent throwback review .
Bowie and Mick Ronson produced Transformer and also played and sang on it.

David Bowie number 1. End of conversation.
Ummm... One of the most influential bands ROXY MUSIC (forget about record sales) think major influences.
Do better research..
1972 means , no new Zeppelin album
How the hell Nick Drake made the top 10 over Black Sabbath, Nahhhh

1 Bowie, 2 Lou Reed, 3 Deep Purple.
Exile on Main Street , the GOAT!
Family bandstand, blue oyster cult first album ,your wife is beautiful
Yup. Big crush on Dev. Mike’s a lucky man. Gorgeous ❤

FOXTROT from GENESIS was also released in 1972!☮☮
Great album picks, just a little bummed to see Black Sabbath Vol. 4 not up there, an influential album of mine.

How could I not up vote. It was my senior year. Still, the list was... unusual.
Argus, Wishbone Ash was HUGE!!!
My top five are; Black Sabbath, Genesis, Steely Dan, Allman Bros and tied for 5th - Yes, Jethro Tull and Deep Purple
Wow! A trip down memory lane for sure😊

That thumbnail should be illegal.
Ege Bamyasi is God-Tier.
And I don't hate Exile on Main Street, but Sticky Fingers is a superior record.
Cheers to Dev picking Steely Dan at #1. Great choice!
