Some great shouts. Saw these at the Roundhouse.

But my absolute 1977 fave is this (saw them at the Nashville and two other London venues)

I'd like to say it's Marquee Moon, Pink Flag, Talking Heads:77, Heroes or Low.


But it's actually 'The Stranger', Billy Joel.

Interestingly, Zappa, Beefhart, no releases in 77.

However, of the old wave, there was this cracker (from Foreign Affairs):

I ain't a bad guy, when you get to know me. My famous last words

I was 6 in July '77 , I still listen to the same blindingly good albums my parents subjected me to in Exodus, new boots and panties, and 'book of dreams'. There are plenty of others from '77 which I discovered later, but these stand out personally.

brilliant album

taped it off a mate

used to rewind Janie Jones time after time

me too. Janie Jones every day. I bought my first two albums in 77, same day: Jam and Stranglers quickly followed by Damned, Sex Pistols, Clash and I think Television. Marquee Moon has lasted best!

My top 3 would be :

Rattus Norvegicus - The Stranglers
Bad Reputation - Thin Lizzy
Let There Be Rock - AC/DC

How did I forget Thin Lizzy!!!!!

 

[Beach Hut]

Heroes - David Bowie

An outstanding album at the time and still is today

 

[Gwylan]

I think that in 1977, I'd have said The Clash but the two from that era that I still listen to the most are Exodus and Low, The latter is superb, by far my favourite Bowie album

[Mannakin]

Rumors - Fleetwood Mac
A Farewell to Kings - Rush
Animals - Pink Floyd
Bat out of Hell - Meatloaf
Going for the one - Yes
I Robot - Alan Parsons
Works 1&2 - ELP
Quark, Strangeness and Charm - Hawkwind
George Thorogood and The Destroyers
Encore (Live) - Tangerine Dream

These were the ones I bought anyway

This is everything that Punk music was railing against isn’t it? Still love this album
