Wow what a year!
And with a 20 choice limit I had to leave off at lot a great stuff.

I'm no authority on 1977, but I have to go with PF's "Animals." From your list, it seems like '77 is a good vintage

ive always liked the hotel california by the eagles, not that i experienced in in the 70's

. but even now their music is good

Thats a difficult year--I'm a big PF fan, but Animals was never my favorite. I'm hard pressed not to pick Hotel California, too. But the very first record I ever heard was Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell. My dad raised me on Meatloaf and Tom Petty--I feel he did a respectable job.

God this poll is depressing.

Imagine trying to cobble together a similar poll for 2004 in 25 years time... Do you think it would be cram-packed with so many obvious stone-cold classics? I think not...

 

[skiingemt]

Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood

 

[spritzer]

Television - Marquee Moon

 

[Iron_Dreamer]

Animals followed closely by Rumors for me

 

[roadtonowhere08]

Animals for me

I bet 1984 and 1992 will be very tough years as well

My birthday >>>>>>>>>>>>>> October 5, 1977 !!!!

This album is still in production !

 

[Piccolo Daimaou]

Queen's "News Of The World" would be my favorite.

 

[strohmie]

I had to vote Marley only based on Pink Floyd having done a couple albums better than Animals. But that one's a close second.

I voted out of nostalgia. When I first got a CD player I bought two CDs. One of them was "AC/DC-Let There Be Rock". It took a lot of time untill I had enough pocket money to buy more CDs. So AC/DC got played a lot!

Thinking back to '77 I think that Hotel California got the most playtime at my house. I still have the LP.
