Top 24 Music Albums of 1977
by mrmcrook 
Another great year in music. Quite hard to put in any preferable order except for the top 5 (Can't ever see them being dislodged from the top). Even those near the bottom of the list are still good albums.
My favorite songs from 1977
Sex Pistols - Everything. The whole album is fucking perfection
AC/DC - Let There Be Rock
Pink Floyd - Dogs
Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way
UFO - Love To Love
Bryan Ferry - This is Tomorrow
Split Enz - Bold as Brass
George Thorogood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust
Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You
Ramones - Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment

98.33* Blown away when I heard this. Being very 'metal' at the time, I had no idea punk could be this good. Opened me up to a whole new range of bands 04/25

90.87* Bon Scott era AC/DC in my opinion epitomizes the ultimate rock and roll band. Title track being one of the greatest ever rock songs. Fine mix of rock, blues and boogie and brilliant from start to finish. 06/25

83.375* Another great Priest album. This was when they started to define the sound that would put them among the top of the NWOBHM contenders. Full of dynamic tracks (Sinner, Let us Prey, Diamonds and Rust) along with the ballads, I really love 'Here come the Tears' no matter what anyone says. 'Last Rose' could of been discarded though. 02/26

83.18 The epitome of commercial cool. The multi vocals gives it it's complete uniqueness. Almost every song top class. Well done.

81.714* More supreme fast garage rock 'n roll/rock 'n punk with most songs clocking in at around 2 minutes or under. You know what you're getting with the Ramones. How can you not be filled with joy. 03/26

78.90* When very young, my mate across the road had this and played it often hence I'd heard it many times. It's been on my wants list for years but has been really hard to find. It's been at least 35 years since I last heard it. Amazing how your musical muscle memory works. I could pretty much hum and sing along to nearly everything on it straight off. Did you know Alan Parsons was the engineer and quite pivotal on the making of 'Dark Side of the Moon'. That's a glorious snippet of information. There's parts of this that have shades of and remind me of Alice Cooper's grandiose sound that was on the 'Welcome to my Nightmare' & 'Goes to Hell' albums, both made around the same time as this. But this is way more synth & effects driven rather than rock.. I really like it. Took years but I'm glad I finally found it. 04/25
