And Wire were pioneering an angular Post Punk sound with their classic Pink Flag album... More to follow during the week...
Ok, some more of my earliest ever music purchases from '77 I wasn't one of those that totally disregarded Prog when Punk came along and I listened to this particular album a lot...
Ian Dury had been around the London Pub scene for years, but he rode the tail of Punk well with his unique witty lyrical style...
I'd loved the Isley's music for ages, especially Ernie's wonderful guitar, but this was the first album I bought of theirs...
My favourite song ever. Great guitar tone, lots of la-la-las but somehow still very punk, catchier than the clap.
This is from the classic Folk Rock album Songs from the Wood that signalled a slight change in direction from Tull...
One of the best live albums ever recorded?..depends if you like Prog I suppose but the dual drumming from Phil Collins and Chester Thompson sounds great and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has described Seconds Out as "one of my drum bibles" and "one of my favorite-sounding drum records too."
