Nick wrote:Marquee Moon's drop is a travesty.

Especially sad to see it come just before the Sex Pistols' 1977 album as well! Two different takes on the punk aesthetic, and the (imo) more shallow one won out.

Interesting that for 1977, Low and Rumours remain.

A steep (and entirely unwarranted!) drop for Marquee Moon imo. The album that to me most exemplifies "1977".

I'm a bit surprised that Leanard Cohen's "Songs of Love and Hate" has apparently made it into the top 50 of our poll. It was only the 14th highest polled album for its year, which was admittedly the very strong 1971. Hehe. [imgsize 343x343]http://www.leonardcohen.it/wp-content/uploads/201...

Everything is fine - work has been a bit hectic over the last couple of days and I was getting frustrated typing in all of the "AM 70s position : " things, so I've done very little over the last couple of days.

But hopefully I will begin in about an hour or so.

Thank you for doing this! I've been rather frazzled recently as you can imagine!

Fantastic job Zorg. I am looking forward to the Album countdown. The list is compiled, so I'll begin that tomorrow. For now, here is the final spreadsheet, and I think after the album countdowns are done, I'll do stats and correlations etc. P.S. Just realised how many people hated Piano Man. Jesus!...
