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.

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.

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