"Nagel 8.41 Haha, yes mate I realised that after I'd posted it but too late to edit etc. *If all else fails, read the instructions*"

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

"This list from the NME? No Fleetwood Mac - Rumours, or Pink Floyd - Animals."

[Nagel]

"LUKE, title is 1977, not the whole of the 70s!"

[COOL HAND LUKE]

"A few to add off the top of my head... there were SO many: Sky's The Limit - Temptations What's Going On - Marvin Gaye Let's Stay Together - Al Green Head Hunters - Herbie Hancock Ziggy Stardust - Bowie Alladin Sane - Bowie Wind & Wuthering - Genesis Dizrythmia - Split Enz Within Reach - a Band Called O Siren - Roxy Music Bad Co / Straight Shooter - Bad Company Next - SAHB Never A Dull Moment / Atlantic Crossing - Rod Stewart Tribute To The Martyrs - Steel Pulse Slade Alive - Slade And the only live album that could give The Allman Bros a run for their money: Rock & Roll Animal - Lou Reed ""Sweet Jane!"""

"zebthecat 12:31 Sat Jan 27 Yup, me too. Literally changed the course of my life and I've never regretted a moment of it. Although I would add Rocket To Russia and Leave Home. Those albums and The Who's Quadrophenia made me, for better or worse, the person I am today."

[only1billybonds]

"MH One album released in 71 that didn't make that list is ' 'Rocking the Filmore' by Humble Pie, one of the greatest live albums ever. Also in 71, Allman brothers band live at the Filmore is another great live recording."

[zebthecat]

Damned Damned Damned and Never mind mind the Bollocks here. They changed my life literally.

Great list from the year I was 17 thought of it as normal at the time but so many of these are classics until this day.

[onsideman]

Crikey! What a year for great albums. Those of us around then were blessed but perhaps didn't realise it at the time

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Loads of decent albums from that year but Rattus Norvegicus - The Stranglers, gets my vote simply for it's raw power."

[BRANDED]

"Aja Steely Dan Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue Original Soundtrack - Saturday Night Fever All 'n' All - Earth, Wind & Fire Ask Rufus - Rufus featuring Chaka Khan Chic - Chic Commodores - The Commodores Ahh... The Name Is Bootsy, Baby - Bootsy Collins Maze featuring Frankie Beverly - Maze Funk Beyond The Call Of Duty - Johnny ""Guitar"" Watson Angel - The Ohio Players Equal Rights - Peter Tosh Heatwave Central Heating"
