xol0tl:
The idea is you look up the year you were born in wikipedia and under music find the albums that were released that year. Then list the albums that you would, or do listen to now...
So, I present to you, the cool albums of 1977:
Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell
Blondie - Blondie
David Bowie - Low
ELO - Out of the Blue
Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
This was also the year "Solsbury Hill" came out. hahahah.
not very many albums listed, but there's a lot of Alice Cooper, Styx and Yes apparently.

Date: 2007-03-01 05:19 pm (UTC)Ella Fitzgerald - Montreux '77 [plus nearly all of the rest of the concert]
Bob Marley - Exodus
Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station (maybe)
I would listen to the Sex Pistols and Skynyrd (bloody yeeHa!).
That's about it... I've (so shameful) got some of that Crapton album around...and (even more shameful), oh no, I think I have Steely Dan's Aja on vinyl (it was free, I think, I hope).
And, wow, there was a lot of lousy music released that year -- and the 80s hadn't even started yet! The list is mostly rock/pop, though.
