The Who released their landmark album Who’s Next on August 14, 1971. A funny thing about 1971, though, was that it saw many landmark albums released that year.

In honor of Who’s Next turning 50, we take a look at other albums released in 1971 we think everyone should own. Scroll through the gallery below to see which ten LPs made our list. (And yes…this was very difficult to keep to just ten.)
