BEA Top 100 of 1977 Ranked by Luigii

Welcome to the next list of my excursions going through the top 100 of any year. And after tackling 1993, my move to get more versed with what many considered the best decade of music with the 1970's. And here is how I would rank 1977. If anyone is curious why particular albums are rated the way they are, go to the canon edition of album below game to get some thoughts on each album. Also like 1993, I do want to hit at least 250 albums before I get to my actual year list.

From Luigii 04/11/2021 20:05

Yeah, I could understand that feeling for Pink Flag. So far I don't know where 1977 is going to go since in 1993 I had 6 10/10's and 26 9.5 or higher/10's. But this is getting close to a 1/5 done and so far have 2 10/10's and know there are 2 more. While there are only 2 9.5/10 But me, I don't know what my favorite year would be since each year is really different from the next and having a year ranking would be hard to articulate. But I'm glad you like my venture so far.

From Mercury 04/11/2021 19:14

It’s pains me to see my beloved PINK FLAG rank at 14 of 14 - dead last - of this amazing year. BUT I am loving the heck out of how this chart is coming together as I was loving watching 1993 coke together. I feel like I started paying attention to 93 relatively late in its cycle (maybe when you were 60 to 70 albums in) but this I have been watching since album 1. Great album I’m enjoying re-experiencing some of these all time favorites of mine again through you to some degree.

For most of my life I have thought of 1977 as the greatest year or the my personal favorite year in music history (I was a punk rock kid so of course I did). Only recently (last 3-4 years) have I started to think 1969 was greater to me and maybe 1970 or 1971. STILL 1977 is just as rich as them just different.
