Top 94 Music Albums of 1976
by 
AAL2014 
1976 is an interesting year. I feel it may be the overall weakest year of the decade, especially up to this point. At the moment you’ll only find 2 albums that also make my Top 100 main chart. However, the gold medal recipient on this chart is my favorite album of all time and second place is strongly set in my all time top 50… so there’s a few extra points for ‘76.
Here you’ll find a very solid top 10-15 and a number of unique records from there, but again it’s the apex records from this year that are carrying the weight.
