Here's just some of the albums that were released in 1976. Has there ever been a year to compare with this one in both quality and quantity? I know you all know of more albums that came out then. But anyway here is a sample. 1976 is also the year took up guitar. Maybe the following is one reason why.

 

Frampton comes alive. The biggest selling live album of all time.

Thin Lizzy Jailbreak. Who can forget this? It put them on the map.

Fuelish: you were doing well until you got to the end there.....
:facepalm:


:p


 

Agreed. This thread was bringing back bad memories...

 

Then we got to the Ramones and Bowie and Tom W. and I felt some relief.

 

Then into the pit of 70s despair again with Rush.

 

One man's nostaglia is another's grim flashback.

Hearing Captain and Tennille instantly transports me back to the days when I was eight and hanging out at the public pool with all of my friends. They were constantly playing Love will keep us Together and Muscrat Love.
