1977 Since I'm at my post #1977, I'm honoring the stellar year 1977. Man, what a year for music. It's like the whole history of music was wiped clean and the world got to start fresh. So many styles were invented and solidified around this time like ambient, post-punk, synth-pop, new wave, etc. And other established genres hit their peak like disco, album rock and punk. Looking over my cd collection, I can't believe how many first rate albums came from that year and how much diversity there was at that time. I was only 1 year old at the time but I wish I could've experienced some of this first hand. Here's a partial list-
David Bowie- Low David Bowie- "Heroes" Iggy Pop- The Idiot Iggy Pop- Lust For Life Ramones- Leave Home Ramones- Rocket To Russia Talking Heads- 77 (debut) Blondie- Plastic Letters Elvis Costello- My Aim Is True (debut) Television- Marquee Moon (debut) Sex Pistols- Never Mind the Bollocks (debut) The Clash- The Clash (debut) Brian Eno- Before and After Science Kraftwerk- Trans-Europe Express Joy Division- Warsaw (scrapped album and their debut) Donna Summer- Once Upon A Time Bee Gees- Saturday Night Fever ABBA- Arrival Fleetwood Mac- Rumours and Prince was busy at work on his debut What are some of the most important and influential albums that I'm missing?

1977 did have some great stuff! It's probably the equivalent of my 1982/83 or 1989. | |

Nathan I am stealing your idea and going to do 1978 just cause I am 780 posts and almost to the landmark 1,000. Hope you do not mind that I am stealing you idea, but I am jacking it whether you like it or not.  | |

Or my '93 or '95. I was actually gonna suggest that you start a thread about 1983. | |

Go for it Jess. Glad I could inspire you. Thanks for coming up with some '77 releases that I would've never come up with. '79 is another great one. I'm sure DavidEye will pipe in with his love for '76.  | |

TRON said ABBA- Arrival
In fact, 1976. A masterpiece, unquestionably. The 1977 release was 'The Album', which was not quite so masterful. | |

Rumours was probably the best release that year, i still spin it every few weeks, i just never tire of its diversity.
A fuckin' great album...and Stevie Nicks was gorgeous. [This message was edited Thu Oct 24 14:25:19 PDT 2002 by Cloudbuster] | |
