EZ, EC.

― whatever, Friday, 4 May 2007 07:50 (eighteen years ago)

Ornette without hesitation.

Heroes being there instead of Low aided this decision.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 4 May 2007 07:51 (eighteen years ago)

No Exodus or Two Sevens Clash?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 4 May 2007 07:52 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, strange about "Heroes" making it on the poll at the expense of Low. Oh well, at least Kraftwerk's TEE squeeked into last place.

― JN$OT, Friday, 4 May 2007 07:55 (eighteen years ago)

No Exodus or Two Sevens Clash? = no US release at the time.

― JN$OT, Friday, 4 May 2007 07:57 (eighteen years ago)

Speaking of Two Sevens Clash, where is Clash band, or did that also not come out in the US until later?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 4 May 2007 08:00 (eighteen years ago)

Fist Clash (mish-mash) album was a '79(!?) US release, if you can blieve it.

― JN$OT, Friday, 4 May 2007 08:06 (eighteen years ago)

haha, fist clash...

― JN$OT, Friday, 4 May 2007 08:14 (eighteen years ago)

What? No ELO? Thankfully people have been able to appreciate the best softrock albums later on (out of which "Out Of The Blue" is all the way up there)

Voted for Bowie, although his best 1977 album - "Low" - is mysteriously left off.

― Geir Hongro, Friday, 4 May 2007 08:22 (eighteen years ago)

I was scrolling down thinking "hey this is pretty difficult" and then right at the bottom Trans-Europe Express came up.

― Groke, Friday, 4 May 2007 08:57 (eighteen years ago)

i haven't heard a single album on this list!!! (apart from sex pistols but it's dreadful innit.) i've been meaning to get rumours for ages though, and i think i'm getting into steely dan.

― lex pretend, Friday, 4 May 2007 08:59 (eighteen years ago)

i think i'm getting into steely dan

Most important development on this thread.

― Groke, Friday, 4 May 2007 09:01 (eighteen years ago)

gareth is sending me songs! i...think i like them.

― lex pretend, Friday, 4 May 2007 09:04 (eighteen years ago)

Don't do it Lex, it's a slippery slope which goes Steely Dan - Doobie Brothers - Little Feat - The Band - Bob Dylan -John Cooper Clarke - Arctic Monkeys.

― Billy Dods, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:36 (eighteen years ago)

What, no Starz or Santa Esmeralda or Vibrators or Plastic Bertrand or Boney M?? I don't believe it!!!

Actually, I do.

I went with the Sex Pistols.

― xhuxk, Friday, 4 May 2007 11:36 (eighteen years ago)

― xhuxk, Friday, 4 May 2007 11:52 (eighteen years ago)

I know it didn't make the list, but how do you feel about Street Survivors, xhuxk?

― JN$OT, Friday, 4 May 2007 11:59 (eighteen years ago)

It's great (as are most of their albums, but I'd say that's one of my three or so favorites.)

― xhuxk, Friday, 4 May 2007 12:03 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah I agree. I can't believe more critics didn't like Skynyrd back then. Marcus had them as his no. 2 pick.

― JN$OT, Friday, 4 May 2007 12:08 (eighteen years ago)

No Yes, no credibility. Going for the One is fantastic. I thought '74 was bad, these keep getting worse.

― Bill Magill, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:29 (eighteen years ago)

I almost puked when I read the '81 list.

― Bill Magill, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:30 (eighteen years ago)

What, no Hotel California?

― Jiminy Krokus, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:05 (eighteen years ago)

Undecided here: it's between Cheap Trick, Pistols, Fleetwood Mac, and Ramones (Leave Home) for me, but I like all sorts of second-tier choices here as well (i.e., not stuff I would call my favourite of the year but stuff I still like): Al Green, other Ramones, Costello, Television, Talking Heads, Ferry, Bowie, Beach Boys, the Beatles (!), Kraftwerk, McGarrigles, the Jam. Needless to say, I like this year a lot better than the last one (though don't crucify me for wondering how there's not a single disco album here...not that I can think of one off the top of my head that should be.)

― sw00ds, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:10 (eighteen years ago)

no Pablo Cruise?

― henry s, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

Tell me about it--these Pazz & Jop voters were SO lame.

― sw00ds, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:15 (eighteen years ago)

In lieu of Billy Joel's "The Stranger" and Donna Summer's "I Remember Yesterday," Fleetwood Mac!

― dr. phil, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:25 (eighteen years ago)

I'm voting In Color because it's the one I liked best at the time.

― dad a, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:04 (eighteen years ago)

The lack of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack is kind of surprising.

― JN$OT, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:06 (eighteen years ago)

Donna Summer - wasn't Once Upon A Time also '77?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:09 (eighteen years ago)

Revisionist Me would select The Belle Album, but '77 Me would pick either Sleepwalker or Aja, since those are the two of this list whose grooves I wore down the most...

― henry s, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:10 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, and One World by John Martyn (don't tell me, it didn't come out there until '78 - what was it with Island Records release schedules?).

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:13 (eighteen years ago)

John Martyn is beyond obscure in the U.S., especially in '77. Moon Martin, however...

― sw00ds, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:14 (eighteen years ago)

I would have voted for Muddy Waters Hard Again if it were listed, but of these, I'd probably go with Rumours, since it's the one I'd be most likely to listen to these days.

― o. nate, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:20 (eighteen years ago)

wow, Suicide was really under the radar in '77, weren't they?

― henry s, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:39 (eighteen years ago)

Good year for Donna Summer! Maybe her vote got split.

― dr. phil, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:46 (eighteen years ago)

um, Saturday Night Fever soundtrack?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

Apparently it was disqualified in '78 because it was a '77 release, a rule I don't think P&J held to for long, but I don't know. (Christgau mentions it in the '78 essay, and it's on one person's list.)

― sw00ds, Friday, 4 May 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

(It's not even mentioned in the '77 poll, so I guess its bigger impact, via singles, was the following year--much like Thriller.)

― sw00ds, Friday, 4 May 2007 16:03 (eighteen years ago)

Hmmm. Fleetwood Mac or Sex Pistols...

― Mordechai Shinefield, Friday, 4 May 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

I voted Al Green, narrowly over Rumours. Lots of good albums here, though.

― Matos W.K., Friday, 4 May 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

and they weren't even hip to the Clash import at that time - thanks a lot cbs, you assholes

― outdoor_miner, Friday, 4 May 2007 17:11 (eighteen years ago)

oh, The Clash would've placed in the Top 30 if P&J had allowed imports at the time. (it would start allowing them in 1980.)

― Matos W.K., Friday, 4 May 2007 17:17 (eighteen years ago)

Jeeziz, it was just as good a year for things that had absolutely nothing to do with new-wave/punk--!

There are only four or five things from ever that I might think of voting for over Marquee Moon. One of them would be Gaucho. But this is Aja... and it just loses by a hair.

― Jon Lewis, Friday, 4 May 2007 17:53 (eighteen years ago)

Old and new me were battling it out in '77, Mac vs. T. Heads. But over the years I think I've played "In Your Mind" more than either of them.

― Dan Peterson, Friday, 4 May 2007 19:45 (eighteen years ago)

in the absence of faves like Iggy Pop's The Idiot and Cheap Trick's debut, not to mention Utopia's RA and Ram Jam (j/k)I voted for Trans Europe Express by Krfatwerk.

great great year, maybe the best of the 70s?

― m coleman, Saturday, 5 May 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I'd say '77 & '78 were my faves for albums, and maybe singles too.

― JN$OT, Saturday, 5 May 2007 10:58 (eighteen years ago)

This is quite unbelievable. Not one of my nine fave albums from 1977 is on there. I'll go for Rocket to Russia then. Which I don't even know, really.

#1 Brian Eno - Before and after Science

and then in alphabetical order

David Bowie - Low
Jacques Brel - Les Marquises
Leonard Cohen - Death of a Ladies' Man
Joni Mitchell - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter
Modern Lovers - Rock'n'Roll with the Modern Lovers
Iggy Pop - The Idiot
Suicide - s/t
Weather Report - Heavy Weather

― alex in mainhattan, Saturday, 5 May 2007 11:13 (eighteen years ago)

"unbelievable". right.

disqualified in '78 because it was a '77 release, a rule I don't think P&J held to for long

The literal-release rule held through 1979. After that (in 1980, when 1979 albums by Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd, and the Pretenders placed -- though those Pretenders '79 votes may have been imports, if I'm remembering right), P&J start tabulating in "carryover" votes from the previous year if a siginifcant number of voters voted for an album a year later.LP poll also opened up to imports in 1980, I think. Singles balloting, again, began in 1979, when imports (and initially, EPs, and singles with songs on both sides) counted from the gitgo.

"Before and After Science" isn't on the list above because it came out stateside in 1978 (when it placed 12th*) (I think sometimes people--including me, if I've got no contrary evidence--tend to be too trusting of copyright years listed on the backs of albums, which for late year albums, are often not the same as when albums were actually released.)

* -- Well, here, I'm assuming that the poobahs didn't mess up or cheat the Eno LP in. I wasn't there; for all I know, I guess it's possible that it technically "dropped" the third week of December 1977, and they should have technically disqualified it in 1978. But I kind of doubt that. One reason the polling deadlines were always so late to begin with** was so late-year stuff would not be left out, as it is with lots of other polls.

** -- Actually, come to think of it, I'm not positive when those early deadlines were. But they've been late for as long as I can remember, and the fact that even that first poll in 1971 wasn't published until Feb 17, 1972, suggests that Xgau always wanted to accomodate the entire year.

oh and BOWIE loomed large over my 1977. like what he'd been doing the last couple years finally SUNK IN. uncle lou and the VU, too.

I don't think many people in america heard the pistols before 1978.

― m coleman, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:20 (eighteen years ago)

other than aja, my faves on that list are:

sex pistols
fleetwood mac
cheap trick
kate & anna
the jam
beach boys
kraftwerk

― scott seward, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:21 (eighteen years ago)

i heard the stories about the pistols before i ever heard them of course. about how they got off the plane in america and one of them puked on a little old lady!

― scott seward, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:22 (eighteen years ago)

i knew what all the punks looked like way before i heard them cuz i grew up reading rock scene. or looking at the pictures anyway. first new wave record i ever owned was parallel lines, if that counts. in 1978.

― scott seward, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:30 (eighteen years ago)

Holy shit, I got my first KISS album--and first album ever--for my 13th birthday too. WTF, must have been some kinda rite of passage for teenage American boys at the time.

― JN$OT, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:36 (eighteen years ago)

BTW, Scott, first live show I ever caught was that Beatlemania thing--with Marshall Crenshaw playing Lennon (not that I knew that then; or who the hell Crenshaw even was)--back in '77/'78 or so. Wasn't a Beatles fan at the time, but I vividly remember images of the Crimson Dynamo & the Titanium Man flashing on the screen behind the "band." And no, I wasn't on anything; well, other than the pot fumes wafting around the nosebleed section where I sat.

― JN$OT, Saturday, 5 May 2007 14:48 (eighteen years ago)

'cept that i was a german teenage boy ;-)

― alex in mainhattan, Saturday, 5 May 2007 15:05 (eighteen years ago)

haha, that's even better/funnier.

― JN$OT, Saturday, 5 May 2007 15:06 (eighteen years ago)

"BTW, Scott, first live show I ever caught was that Beatlemania thing"

i remember the t.v. ads for beatlemania. so exciting. i dragged my dad to the first ever New England Beatles Convention in, i think, 1978, and the band APPLE played! they were big in connecticut in the 70's.

things were changing quick for me back then.

fave group in 1978: Beatles

fave group in 1979: Black Sabbath

fave group in 1980: Adam & The Ants!

(that would be from 10 to 12 years old)

― scott seward, Saturday, 5 May 2007 16:23 (eighteen years ago)

That's an interesting trio right there. I guess mine went something like KISS-Aerosmith-Zeppelin-Purple-Doors. That would be '77-'80.

― JN$OT, Saturday, 5 May 2007 16:32 (eighteen years ago)

It's just two versions of the same track but Ornette totally wins it and doubt the taste of anyone who thinks otherwise (as in, everyone on this thread.) Except for Scott, since he turned me on to White Willow and Katatonia. After that, the ones I've heard in order: Television, FM, Bowie, Cheap Trick, Sex Pistols, Talking Heads.

― Sundar, Saturday, 5 May 2007 17:06 (eighteen years ago)

(I suppose I won't doubt your taste if you pick an album I haven't heard.)

I like the Pistols OK but I'm a little amazed that American critics would have ever loved it that much.

― Sundar, Saturday, 5 May 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)

Hey the Ornette is great, it's just that there's so much other good stuff on there that it's hard to choose. I picked the Pistols, but only because it hit me really hard at a rather vulnerable time. Otherwise, it could just as easily have been the Mac, or TV, or Coleman, or Green.

― JN$OT, Saturday, 5 May 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

Does there really have to be one of these for every fucking year

― billstevejim, Saturday, 5 May 2007 17:51 (eighteen years ago)

Yup.

― JN$OT, Saturday, 5 May 2007 17:53 (eighteen years ago)

Well then cant you at least wait until one poll is closed before starting another?

― billstevejim, Saturday, 5 May 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

I like the one-year-each-day format myself. I hope singles polls will be included as well, though.

― sw00ds, Saturday, 5 May 2007 18:01 (eighteen years ago)

Has anyone actually heard every one of these albums? I have probably heard half.

― billstevejim, Saturday, 5 May 2007 18:04 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, starting with the '79 poll, next week probably.

I think the one poll a day thing got a little out of hand, so I'll probably start only 2 or 3 next week. We'll see...

― JN$OT, Saturday, 5 May 2007 18:05 (eighteen years ago)

There isn't a single year where I've heard every album in these polls. I don't think I'd want to have heard all of them. Once this gets to the '90s, I'll probably abstain, because I won't have heard a fraction of them.

― sw00ds, Saturday, 5 May 2007 18:06 (eighteen years ago)

I doubt if any sane person has heard every album from all these yearly polls. I've heard less than half myself, although I don't really see how that matters in a poll that asks you to pick your favorite.

― JN$OT, Saturday, 5 May 2007 18:09 (eighteen years ago)

"and doubt the taste of anyone who thinks otherwise"

it's really just that riff! it goes right thru me like a drill. i like ornette. that sound just sounds wrong to me in a way that i have a hard time explaining. and i've tried to listen to the album more than once. the music itself isn't bad. i like the cover.

― scott seward, Saturday, 5 May 2007 18:18 (eighteen years ago)

Exodus did come out in the U.S. in 1977.

I voted Pistols.

― If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Saturday, 5 May 2007 23:45 (eighteen years ago)

The Ornette album might be my favorite ever.

― theboyqueen, Sunday, 6 May 2007 05:24 (eighteen years ago)

Dancing In Yr Head is one of my faves too but Scott is right about the riff/melody, there's a loopy sing-song quality to it. I used to drive my roomates INSANE with this album in 1977. Good times!

― m coleman, Sunday, 6 May 2007 11:33 (eighteen years ago)

it was tougher than i thought between Aja and Trans Europe Express, most of the time i would probably go with TEE, so today ive gone with Aja

still havent heard Rumours!

would like to hear that ornette lp

― 600, Sunday, 6 May 2007 11:40 (eighteen years ago)

Well, '77 was the year of my alltime fave, but it was an import and never woulda had a chance anyways. Also, the continued absence of Parliament is mystifying.

Sex Pistols for me.

― Myonga Vön Bontee, Sunday, 6 May 2007 11:56 (eighteen years ago)

my favourite tom waits album, foreign affairs, was 77 as well

― 600, Sunday, 6 May 2007 12:01 (eighteen years ago)

the continued absence of Parliament is mystifying

Xgau wound up dealing with this somewhat in his essay a year later, I think, when a George Clinton album finally makes the Pazz & Jop list. Part of the problem seems to have been that, obviously, in most years, George Clinton would release a few LPs out under different names, and critics would wind up having to pick and choose between them, hence splitting their votes. But another big problem that nobody here seems to be remembering (and which Xgau also deals with in his great '78 essay) is that a lot of critics really were mired in the idea of "Disco Sucks" at the time--and though I know ILM whippersnappers would be dumfounded by this idea (which admittedly makes very little sense) "Disco Sucks" absolutely did encompass Parliament and Funkdaelic et. al., even though Clinton generally seemed to think disco sucked as well. (Though not when he did "Flashlight," maybe.) And oh, there's also this little thing called race -- which Xgau dealt with in his '78 and '79 essays (and later ones) too. (In 1978, the only albums by black people to place in the poll's top 30 were by Funkadelic, at #27, and Al Green, at #30. From that point on, Christgau makes it part of his life's mission to solve the problem, often to no avail.)

― xhuxk, Sunday, 6 May 2007 12:33 (eighteen years ago)

parliament had a largely african-american audience in 1977, white rock critics didn't really pick up on them until One Nation under A Groove.

― m coleman, Sunday, 6 May 2007 12:43 (eighteen years ago)

I grew up in small-town Oregon, reading Xgau's 1970s guide and learning about (African-American and other) bands they never played on Portland radio stations. His efforts might not have worked on whitey boomer-age critics, but they sure worked on me!

― Dimension 5ive, Sunday, 6 May 2007 12:51 (eighteen years ago)

Righteous. Rock on dean-o!

― JN$OT, Sunday, 6 May 2007 12:54 (eighteen years ago)

On me, too! (And I am a whitey, almost boomer age.) But there really were lots of sticks in the mud (aging hippies and FM radio types etc etc) voting in the poll in these old days (which doesn't begin to explain why the P&J results are still 100 times funner than they'd be 10/15/20/25 years later, when all the sticks in the mud were dead, but still...)

― xhuxk, Sunday, 6 May 2007 12:55 (eighteen years ago)

Oh there are plenty of sticks in the mud now too, they like these musics called indie rock and alt.country, have ya heard of it

― Dimension 5ive, Sunday, 6 May 2007 12:58 (eighteen years ago)

The curse of indie rock and indie rock loving critics.

x-post

haha

― JN$OT, Sunday, 6 May 2007 13:01 (eighteen years ago)

my favorite record of like every third year ends up being indie rock...but I like it for the RIGHT REASONS

― Dimension 5ive, Sunday, 6 May 2007 13:42 (eighteen years ago)

because my heart is pure and true thereby letting me make huge blanket statements about thousands of people I've never met YAY

― Dimension 5ive, Sunday, 6 May 2007 13:45 (eighteen years ago)

"Don't worry, be happy."

― JN$OT, Sunday, 6 May 2007 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

touché

― Dimension 5ive, Sunday, 6 May 2007 14:19 (eighteen years ago)

Don't quite know what to make of the fact that although I see this list and my brain says "what a bunch of important albums," I don't have the slightest desire to play *any* of these.

(Except maybe Aja as a background to making out.) '77 is overrated, though I'll allow that it makes good rock critic fodder.

― dlp9001, Sunday, 6 May 2007 15:58 (eighteen years ago)

wow - television vs kraftwerk is a very hard choice..

― Robin G, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:21 (eighteen years ago)

No Congos, but understandable since barely any copies were pressed at the time. But no Pink Flag? I voted Marquee Moon.

― Fastnbulbous, Monday, 7 May 2007 01:48 (eighteen years ago)

I'd bet that Pink Flag didn't reach US shores till '78.

― Myonga Vön Bontee, Monday, 7 May 2007 04:02 (eighteen years ago)

Last day to vote. Get 'em in, y'all.

― JN$OT, Monday, 7 May 2007 17:56 (eighteen years ago)

And kind of a surprise winner. Sex Pistol is the canon pick while I'd expect Kraftwerk to be the typical ILM pick.

― Geir Hongro, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 00:41 (eighteen years ago)

Well Geir, there's no shortage of idiots here!

― JW, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 01:26 (eighteen years ago)

Lot's of Television people around here, apparently. Not much love for My Aim Is True,though, surprisingly enough.

― JN$OT, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 07:48 (eighteen years ago)

It's all Huey Lewis' fault.
