Top 73 Music Albums of 1977
by 
AAL2014 
This chart is another difficult one in a pretty fun way. I’m not sure there’s a tougher top 5 to rank. I usually have at least 1, maybe 2, albums that stand clearly above the rest in a given year, but I love each of these top 5 pretty equally and frankly have no idea how to rank them. I guess this is how I feel about it today.
Overall this is a really unique year with a top 15 that could go up against most other years.
