I'm going to skip you're post if its obvious you didn't look at the list before nominating. Alot of the albums nominated are already on there and its a pain to go through a 20 album list and only have 2 not already on.

MB's Top 100 Albums of the 75-79 - Rate Your Music

All you do is look at that hit ctrl + F and type in the album name on both pages, if its not there then nominate it. If it is, well there you go.

There's some bloody good stuff that's been listed already. The only exceptions I would add are:

The Knack - Get The Knack (1979)
The Ruts - The Crack (1979)
Madness - One Step Beyond (1979)

I'm also a bit shocked that The B-52's and The Jam - Setting Sons don't make it into the 184 albums listed...

All Mod Cons was miles better.

Mr Nic · 03-10-2008, 02:53 PM

Aye - you're probably right. For me it's probably more to do with the fact it's the one Jam album I owned and grew up listening to... !

What...no love for Klaatu - Hope

I think Bob Dylan - Desire should stay. It's one of his best albums.
