Top 36 Music Albums of 1978

1978 was such an exciting time for music. Arbroath was miles away from anything that was happening. Thank goodness for John Peel, Sounds, Melody Maker and the NME. These helped point me in the right direction when I went to Woolworths, John Menzies or Elena Mae's for my vinyl.
