Your Favorite Album from 1977 - REDUX
« on: October 30, 2023, 06:04:36 PM »
Well...a couple of terribly glaring omissions the first time, so let's try this again:

Lots of choices.  I could have extended the list, but 20 options is enough.  What'cha got?

Still went with Rush - AFTK. Lots of other good choices here though, like Yes, Pink Floyd, Kansas, Queen, and Styx.

And while I wouldn't consider it the best of 1977, I have recently gotten into the Dixie Dregs, and their debut album Free Fall came out this year. Also gotta shout out to ELP's Works albums.

For me, the additions don't really help.  I find little that was appealing in the releases this year.

Looking like this might be the first of these polls with a close fight for the #1 spot.

I ended up going with The Grand Illusion myself, but it was REALLY hard not to chose A Farewell to Kings.  A 1a/1b situation if ever there were one.
