Best Rock Album - 1977?

Rumours - Fleetwood Mac

1977 is one of the most fucked up log jammed years in this shit pole series. All of the LPs are all timers for me. But is what it is. Rumors is the most perfect pop rock record of the 70's most likely.

Is there a more prefect yacht rock song than Dreams? Doubtful

Except Peg might be the best Yacht Rock song. 1:45 is the greatest solo in the history of rock.

Aja - Steely Dan

This is torture...own every album, seen all (‘cept the Pistols)...For me, I count 4 that I wouldn’t lift the needle on, and that may be light...

I play the shit out of it on Lake Union on Tuesday nights. Our skipper hates yacht rock but I usually tell him to fuck off.

Best Rumors track
Lindsey Fucking Buckingham. Killer axeman. TUFF. No guitar pick.

Yella, stick that on your turntable and spin it.

I have a fancy West German pressing of Rumors that is Ta Tits.

Not Rumors obviously but this is a pretty kick ass live performance from the early days. The camera angle is great and you can see the odd techniques. Sometimes he hits the string with the back of his finger. Pretty cool.

@Mad_Son continues to impress me in this exercise.

Rumours - Fleetwood Mac

rough choice, hard to choose "Dreams" over "Scenes from an Italian restaurant" but several albums listed are extremely worthy.

Was one of the two Talking Heads listed supposed to be, say, Slowhand? (would have had a hard time not giving that my vote)



Or maybe Bowie, Queen or Skynyrd?

Slowhand? Lol!! There are like 10 more worthy albums in 1977 but Rumors is the clear big dick swinging album of the year. We are just arguing about podium spots after that.

Let There Be Rock - AC DC

Rumours is great but ROCK>POP

And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
And all across the land, every rockin' band
Was blowing up a storm
And the guitar man got famous
The business man got rich
And in every bar, there was a superstar
With a seven year itch
There were fifteen-million fingers
Learning how to play
And you could hear the fingers pickin'
And this is what they had to say: Let there be Rock!

I didn’t have to put this one in @dflea but was pandering to the south sound logging camp liberal vote.

I appreciate the enthusiasm here, really. Best solo ever is crazy talk. My dad had this record and I'm pretty sure it was one of the albums that I turned in to a scratch record during my DJ BleachedAnusDawg days as a youth.

Dare I say that Fleetwood Mac on the whole is underrated ...

Laocoön

The Clash - The Clash

These are worthy candidates for consideration in 1977.
