Live Ledge #271: 1977 (Pt. 1)
All of your favorite music mags will be celebrating the annniversaries of 1967, 1977, 1987, and other similar milestones. We're jumping ahead of the curve with tonight's look back to 1977. What a remarkable year! It's probably the most important year for fans of punk, power pop, and indie rock. So much of what we listen to today comes from the great bands and albums of this year. In fact, there's so many potential classics that there will be a part two sometime in the coming weeks.
It's also a very important year for me. I turned 15 in September of 1977, so you can imagine how the music of that time influenced me. I started off as a typical commercial hard rocker, which is represented at the beginning of tonight's broadcast with the inclusion of Kiss, AC/DC, and Cheap Trick. Then there was the big bang of the Sex Pistols' "Never Mind the Bollocks" album. That opened the floodgates to the Drones, Boomtown Rats, Clash, and so much more.
