| Best Albums Of 1977
This must be my favorite year in music (only closely matched by 1967)rOther mentions:News of the World (Queen) | | 1 |  | David Bowie
Low
David Bowie was doing something completely different than what was going on at
the time,and this album sounds so fresh today.Everything on this is perfect,the
instrumentals on side B are out of this world. | | 2 |  | David Bowie
Heroes
A lot of post-punk artists owe thanks to this album. | | 3 |  | Brian Eno
Before and After Science
Though not as good as Low or Heroes,it is still an interesting listen. | | 4 |  | Iggy Pop
The Idiot
Iggy Pop and David Bowie were both ready to change the face of music.Classic.It's
cold,sad,and robotic.I actually prefer this than his work with the Stooges (which is
also very good). | | 5 |  | Iggy Pop
Lust for Life
I honestly prefer the Idiot,but if you're more into Iggy's classic style with less David
Bowie on it,get this. | | 6 |  | Wire
Pink Flag
I can't give this album a proper explanation,just listen to it. | | 7 |  | Kraftwerk
Trans-Europe Express
Way ahead of its time. | | 8 |  | Fleetwood Mac
Rumours
The ultimate break up album. | | 9 |  | Ramones
Leave Home
I don't wanna be a pinhead no more. | | 10 |  | Ramones
Rocket to Russia
Bird bird,bird is the word. | | 11 |  | Pink Floyd
Animals
Prog on.This is just as good as Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon. | | 12 |  | Sex Pistols
Never mind the Bollocks
Call this album overrated.I don't give a fuck,you can't deny its cultural
impact.Sure,Sid Vicious is an ass,but the rest of the band does shine. | | 13 |  | The Clash
The Clash
Who knew that this would be the band that would later release London Calling?
Really,this is the Clash at their rawest and for those who find London Calling to be
too polished or brassy for their tastes,check this out. | | 14 |  | Elvis Costello
My Aim Is True
Elvis Costello lived up to his name.This has got a bit of everything in it
(Punk,R&B,Reggae,Pop,etc),so there's something for everyone on this. | | 15 |  | Judas Priest
Sin After Sin
Perfect timing.Sabbath didn't release an album this year so Priest filled up that gap
and continued releasing great albums (70's priest>80's priest imo). | | 16 |  | Bob Marley and the Wailers
Exodus
If all you have is Legend by Bob Marley,then check this out.Classic,no more no less. | | 17 |  | The Damned
Damned Damned Damned
Classic Punk | | 18 | | The Saints
(I'm) Stranded
Underrated,how the fuck was this overlooked... | | 19 |  | Talking Heads
Talking Heads: 77
Although they would release better albums in the future,this was a damn good start
for the Talking Heads. | | 20 |  | Television
Marquee Moon
Melodic as fuck,if you're a guitar player and have never listened to this
album,shame on you. | |

08.10.14 | If you haven't heard Suicide's self-titled, check that, totally influential to post-punk/electronica. | NorthernSkylark
08.10.14 | i can get behind this list, only 20 deserved a higher spot | TwigTW
08.10.14 | '77 was a great year for music, especially 1,2,3,4,5 and 7. | zakalwe
08.10.14 | Half of these could be classed as the greatest of all time.
The fact is they stemmed from the same period, using the 'system' of the day as a catalyst to highlight divisions in art, politics, social discourse and good old fashioned rebellion but channeling it all through music as an overriding goal to 'change' the old order.
I have no clue what I'm bangin on about but what I will say is everything post 2000 is rubbish. | tommygun
08.10.14 | zak you 5d farm don't even | AngryNeighbor
08.10.14 | No Sorrow, Tears and Blood? | insanedrexl1
08.10.14 | Rush - A Farewell To Kings | zakalwe
08.10.14 | I think what I'm trying to say is music as a mass power to bring down the establishment post 2000 is rubbish.
Farm rules. | tommygun
08.10.14 | yea the penetration of the internet's sticky tentacles knows no bounds, the sheer volume of content and mindset of music as disposable product means we'll never have that sort of thing again
on the flipside it's pretty handy to have the collective works of humankind at your fingertips
swings and roundabouts dude
| zakalwe
08.11.14 | Definitely bro I'd also thrown in that music lost its danger when politicians were spin doctored to all hell in order to appear ordinary joes, so they were pictured playing guitar, or sax or listing 'their' fave bands in the media.
Things that back in the day were feared by the elite all just became part of the system. | tommygun
08.11.14 | didn't johnny marr forbid david cameron to listen to the smiths?

08.11.14 | Fair fucks to the bloke.
Good old johnny. | zakalwe
08.11.14 | I applaud the following comment left by some fella whose name I've already forgotten.
"This is why I gave up listening to alternative rock several years ago. All because of bloody David Cameron. Even though I don't like that commercial stuff I fear one day he might branch out and say he likes the last two Talk Talk albums. As soon as David Cameron professes a love for Jazz and Funk music I'm selling all my records.
You know David Cameron admitting he likes a bit of this and that could be the reason why the music industry hasn't got a pot to piss in."
Classic! | tommygun
08.11.14 | lol, brits have the best sense of humour about everything man
