Albums First Released in 1971
Personal songwriting moved to the centre in 1971, while soul addressed public issues and rock albums became larger in scale. Albums that help explain 1971 include Blue by Joni Mitchell, What's Going On by Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin and Hunky Dory by David Bowie.
The albums of 1971 show how wide the LP had become: intimate confession, social commentary, hard rock and art rock all reached large audiences. Many still serve as entry points to their artists.

Our Pick of the Year: What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
What's Going On expanded the possibilities of soul music. Marvin Gaye linked songs about war, poverty, family and the environment through layered vocals and orchestral arrangements. Mercy Mercy Me, Inner City Blues and the title track work separately, but the transitions make the album feel like one continuing conversation.
