Top 88 Music Albums of 1978

AAL2014 
1978 offers just 2 of my Top 100 albums at the moment, however, I think the top 20 ranked here are all really strong records with a particularly powerful top 10.
This is a really solid year overall and as far as this chart goes, it’s only the bottom 5 or so I’m not terribly crazy about.
