Lotra good ones there! For me Styx Grand Illusion and Queen News of the World.

 

[magdream]

Lotra good ones there! For me Styx Grand Illusion and Queen News of the World.

Ha!, those were the ones that stood out for me. I'd also add A farewell to kings.

 

[loudboy]

My Aim is True - Elvis Costello

Runner Up - Talking Heads

 

[chrismellotron]

I thought ELO "Out Of the Blue" came out in 1978.

How about...
England "Garden Shed"

I'll go with...
Jethro Tull "Songs From the Wood"
Scorpions "Taken By Force"

 

[67blackcherry]

Good lord how I miss the 70's and all that great rock 'n roll.....

 

[thedroid]

Tie between the first Clash album and the first Elvis Costello album.

But if you'd asked me in 1977, when I was 8, I would have said Kiss.

 

[A-Bone]

I don't think I could choose between The Clash, Never Mind the Bollocks, My Aim Is True, Spiral Scratch and Talking Heads -77.

Also, is the first album by The Damned, Damned, Damned, Damned on that list somewhere? Ditto for Television's masterpiece Marquee Moon?

 

[John Thigpen]

Lots of classic rock classics...Rumours, Aja, Livin' on the Faultline and Steve Winwood stand out for me, but there are lots more.

I guess you can tell I'm older that you other guys.

 

[thedroid]

Yes, Marquee Moon is missing. I now have a three-way tie.

 

[Big Boss Man]

Aja vs Animals, two of the greatest albums ever from any year.

 

[Heinz W]

Animals, Street Survivors, Aja, and Terrapin Station are tops on that list for me.

 

[suckamc]

Not even close: Aja.

 

[johntoste]

Aja

 

[jabromusic]

Not even close: Aja.

this x 1,000,000,000,000,000,000

 

[Powderfinger]

The Clash

 

[Ricardo P]

77 is a bit harder year to pick an album then 78 IMO

My votes goes for Animals, A Farewell to Kings, Even in the Quietest Moments, Talking Heads 77.

 

[rwe333]

Beck/Hammer Live meant the world to me - not a great record on the whole, but Jeff plays amazing and his sounds are insane!

Best record is Rumors, of course.

 

[MCSS1970]

Rock album? Let There Be Rock of course.

 

[KungFuLio]

Yes - Going for the One
