Our Top 5 Albums of 1977

from Personal Records · host Scott and Chris

1977 was a massive year for music, but which albums still matter most to us? Scott and Chris were both born in 1978, so this episode takes Personal Records back to the year before either of us arrived. We each count down our five favorite albums released in 1977, including records from Pink Floyd, Rush, Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Cheap Trick, Meat Loaf, Steve Miller Band, Jimmy Buffett, Foreigner and more. Some choices overlap, others come completely out of left field, and neither list follows the usual critical consensus. What is your favorite album of 1977? Let us know what we got right and which essential record we missed. Personal Records is also available on YouTube.
