For me 70 and 71 and 77 are strong. 1978 also. But 1979 is very special for me cos it's the first year I can remember. I was 3-4 in this year and just starting to become aware of music, although we always had music playing in the house. Seriously cool Parents. There is serious nostalgia points from this year. Certain songs just transport me straight back.

I said that 71 or 73 were probably the best years of the 70s, but maybe the late 70s were even better. Look at all these great ones. I just added Cool For Cats today because your other chart with squeeze reminded me. Although I don't know that one that you had with the pink cover. I only had Argy Bargy and Cool for Cats and East Side Story.
