No way! 1977 was a BANNER year for music. You just can't look at the hits (does anyone do that now and not be disgusted?)

Talking Heads '77
Sex Pistols - Never Mnd the Bollocks
The Clash - The Clash
The Damned - Damned Damned Damned
Wire - Pink Flag
Ramones - Rocket to Russia
Television - Marquee Moon
Devo - Be Stiff
X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage Up Yours

And that's just a start.

Trip down memory lane....I looked at the list and it was fun.

And what's wrong with "I'm Your Boogie Man"????? It's gonna go through my head all day now.

It sticks in your head all day :) It triggers a tape recorder in your head the just won't stop

I had that album

I still do!

Oops, I meant "the hits were pretty lame".

At least the hits on this compilation. There are a few I enjoyed. I also borrowed one for 1972 and that was pretty rad.

DP Roberts - I like some from each of those two lists :)

Agreed, if this was my musical snapshot of 1977, I could consider it a lame year too. These "hits" must have been the ones they could put together on an album with a minimum of royalty payments. Most of them would be on my "not so good" list.

Here are the hits from my birth year 197*ahem*1:

1. Joy To The World, Three Dog Night
2. Maggie May / (Find A) Reason To Believe, Rod Stewart
3. It's Too Late / I Feel The Earth Move, Carole King
4. One Bad Apple, Osmonds
5. How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Bee Gees
6. Indian Reservation, Raiders
7. Go Away Little Girl, Donny Osmond
8. Take Me Home, Country Roads, John Denver
9. Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me), Temptations
10. Knock Three Times, Pawn
11. Me And Bobby Mcgee, Janis Joplin
12. Tired Of Being Alone, Al Green
13. Want Ads, Honey Cone
14. Smiling Faces Sometimes, Undisputed Truth
15. Treat Her Like A Lady, Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose
16. You've Got A Friend, James Taylor
17. Mr. Big Stuff, Jean Knight
18. Brown Sugar, Rolling Stones
19. Do You Know What I Mean, Lee Michaels
20. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Joan Baez

Wow, what a horrible representation of 1977. I can see why you disliked it so much!

Mmmmm 1977 - Going over to Frank's to Listen to the Sex Pistols and throw things into the neighbors back yard - I miss those punk rock days...
