It was unquestionably the worst year of my life, and "Shake Your Booty" and
"Disco Duck" certainly didn't help.
Things got better, for me and for music, in '78 and '79.

How do they determine what year something should be ranked on that site?
Miles Davis' "Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965" was recorded in 1965
(obviously!), but released in North America in 1982. It may have been
released in Japan earlier though I'm not sure.

I would agree that 1976 was probably the worst year between 1950 and
1985.
70sDecade
Steve Miller's "Fly Like An Eagle" and Bob Seger's "Night Moves" are two
of the best albums of '76. ELO's "A New World Record" is also not bad.
1976 also has a lot of one-hit wonders :)

I guess they have "Mothership Connection" as 1975, although I've seen
it listed as '75 and as '76. Definitely recorded in '75, but dubious if
it was released before the start of '76.
The only songs fron this year in my top 100 for the 70s are:
39 ¦ Blitzkreig Bop ¦ Ramones
64 ¦ Do Ya ¦ ELO
93 ¦ The Fire Down Below ¦ Bob Seger
Ricky Gentry
Here's their top 100:>

13 Thin Lizzy: Jailbreak
16 Rush: 2112
20 Boston: Boston
38 Kansas: Leftoverture
39 Queen: A Day at the Races
50 Heart: Dreamboat Annie
Queen, Boston, Aerosmith
Barely liking because of a few songs-
36 The Eagles: Hotel California
35 Steve Miller Band: Fly Like An Eagle
78 Jackson Browne: The Pretender
88 Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains the Same
89 Bob Seger: 'Live' Bullet
94 Harry Chapin: Greatest Stories Live
56 Rush: All the World's a Stage
69 Led Zeppelin: Presence
74 Peter Frampton: Frampton Comes Alive!
For me, that's not many from a list of 100 and from the 70s.

Thanks for posting that link; it reminds me of that awful year's saving
grace (for me)--Warren Zevon's debut album.
They list "The Modern Lovers" and "Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers" as
two different albums; is that correct?

You should definitely check out Have Moicy! -- a lot of great stuff,
including "Jealous Daddy's Death Song" ("I'm telling you boys -- don't
you monkey with my widow when I'm gone") and "Slurf Song" (my fave)
which ends with the life cycle of a spaghetti dinner, including a trip
to the outhouse and, reluctantly, on to the sink: "Oh I see the dishes
over there, they fill me with despair."

No surprsie that there's plenty of good soul/disco/R & B albums that
are not here, as they are probably not even entered into the site's
datebase.

No, I said that I agreed that it was "the worst" year for music between
1950 and 1985.
It's a "great" year compared to any year since 1989.
Some soul/disco items that I don't see on there (it's a big list, maybe
I missed something here)
Disco Inferno - Trammps
The Manhattans (featuring "Kiss And Say Goodbye")
O'Jays - Message In The Music
Ohio Players - Contradiction
Johnnie Taylor - Eargasm
Isley Brothers - Harvest For The World
KC & The Sunshine Band - Part 3
Commodores - Hot On The Tracks
Brick - Good High
Stylistics - Fabulous
Gloria Gaynor - I've Got You
Blue Magic - Mystic Dragons
Also missing is "That's Where The happy People Go" by the Trammps,
which the site erroneously has in 1977.

not as bad as other people had...
And 1974 kinda sucked for music.
wa2ise
Brett A. Pasternack
1979.
Back To The Egg, Off The Wall, the first two Joe Jackson albums, Armed
Forces, London Calling, The B-52s, Repeat When Necessary...

Thinking of browsing local stores to see if there's any re-releases
Anyone with info on recent releases of top albums from 1971?
Thanks.
iTunes ought to start downloads for albums of the 1960s and 1970s --
at bargain prices - say $3.99 each for most albums, $6.99 for hit
albums (top 20 Billboard list)

If I say that Candy Cummings is the worst player out of 200 or so hall
of famers, does that mean that he's a bad baseball player?

I'll let you know when you've heard even one of them.

Although I try not to deviate from the '60's & '70's, I have to admit, I
picked up a Joe Jackson's greatest hits CD, recently. He was/is pretty
good, IMO.

1974 would easily be my pick, and you didn't even list most of my
favourite albums:
Big Star's "Radio City" (winner of the Survivor contest)
John Cale's "Fear" and "Slow Dazzle"
Faust's "IV"
Nico's "The End"
Richard & Linda Thompson's "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight"
Robert Wyatt's "Rock Bottom"
I'd also add:
Blue Oyster Cult's "Secret Treaties"
Matthew Fisher's "I'll Be There"
T. Rex's "Zinc Alloy & The Hidden Riders of Tomorrow"

Ah, you're right. I've been habitually calling it a '74 release without
bothering to check the label. '75 was the year he put out two albums.

How about 130 years of major league baseball. If we take the worst
player who ever played in the major leagues, that does not mean that he
is a bad baseball player. Do you understand the level that these
players attained, and the level that musicians who had releases in 1976
attained?
The worst charted hit of 1976 is 100 times better than the best thing
that an ameteur like you has ever played.

1970. 1971 a very close second. Then 1977.

Lots of real disappointments among the rest of the list.
Sure, there were albums from '76 I adored that weren't on the list. but it
was a very very weak year.

And Do Ya is a remake of an old Move song. I prefer the original.

Hmmm -- two of the albums I dislike the most intensely from the 70s. In '78
I was listening to British New Wave stuff.

A good blues album from '76 was "Luther's Blues" by Luther "Guitar Jr."
Johnson.
