Members Heartstring Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 1976 - some good stuff, and some not so good stuff IMO. Corny soft rock and bubble gum rock like Captain and Tenille, Bay City Roller, and Bread. Cool stuff like new albums released by Judas Priest, Motorhead, The Nuge, and Rush. Oh yeah and don't forget this one "Toys In The Attic" was released in 1975). IMO, it's one of the best albums Aerosmith released. Hi, Ellen, I lubs me some Rocks, too! Good times! I've gotta tell, ya, though. I've been playing a Best of Bread disc lately, and I can't get over how much I enjoy it. Those guys CRAFTED some tunes! I can remember that stuff playing on the PA at the ice rink and on AM radio way back when.Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 My mom played that pretty much nonstop. I grew to hate it! I wonder what I'd think now if I gave it a spin... That was my first real exposure to country music. I was 10 or 11 when it came out. It was a good place to start. The grittiness of "outlaw country" appealed to the mischievous side of me. Still does. I didn't get into Johnny Cash until much later, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Heartstring Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 . . . and, Ellen,I used to seriously lubs me some Nuge, too. Not so much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 Here's another one. In the fall of 1976, this album broadened my musical horizons in a huge way. Some of the best pop songwriting I've ever heard, to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members paulisme Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 This thread is depressing:( It reminds me how much modern music blows goat sacks:facepalm:Did you not read post #36? Most of the stuff on the charts was garbage. There's good and bad from every year; the good stuff stays around and people forget about the bad stuff. Why do I feel like I have to say this in every thread about music? http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showpost.php?p=38245638&postcount=36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chuck1016 Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 Damn! I've scoured Youtube and cant find the Simpsons soundbite when Homer says, "Everyone knows rock n' roll attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact."

Members DaveAronow Posted January 13, 2010 Members Share Posted January 13, 2010 Snobs, look down your noses if you must - but this is the one of the very first LPs that started it for this (then) young kid. Checked out from the local library on a regular basis, heh. Freaking magical time, my infancy of discovering rock music. I knew this thread could be NOTHING if not woefully incomplete without posting that album. I just personally didnt have the balls to post it myself. Thanks man. This thread is NOW awesome.

Members Alex_SF Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'd rate 1970, 1972, 1973, or maybe even 1975 higher on the all-time greatest years scale. By 1976, many of my favorite artists had already broken up, were breaking up, or had peaked and started going downhill ([cough]BlackSabbathRodStewartHumblePieJamesBrownStonesMeters)): But 1976 still had many, many excellent musical moments, besides those already referenced (topped by Rocks): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thankyou Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Dec 1969 had:1) Let It Bleed2) Abbey Road3) LZ IIat the top of the album charts. When I joined HC, my moniker from Music Player was in use here, by me, (I had registered long before, but was hanging out at MP). It had been so long that I had a new computer. I couldn't remember the password and couldn't use the Hotmail address I no longer had to retrieve it. So, I used the title of a song I'd been learning from one of those albums.
