Top 20 Music Albums of 1976
by lancashirearab

I arrived back in Scotland after living in Iran for a year and a half because my dad was working with the Iranian army. He later had to make a fairly rapid exit when the Shah was overturned by Khomeini. I spent most of my time across there with very few chances to listen to music.

Listening to John Peel in the late evenings, introduced this great man to me. A legend. He even appears in the Magical Mystery Tour as the bus conductor Buster Bloodvessel. [First added to this chart: 05/27/2012]

Roadrunner is such a great track. I can remember being dragged to see him in Dundee and being blown away because he was so good. [First added to this chart: 05/27/2012]

Pissing in the River just has to be listened to. She is a great songwriter. This is probably better than Horses, but misses out on my big chart because Horses means more to me. [First added to this chart: 05/27/2012]

John Peel is responsible for any reggae albums in my collection. Every show had at least one or two reggae track. At first I used to be annoyed by them, but so many of them seeped into my consciousness and remained there as favourites.
