1978

[SpiderWars]

First records, all killer:
Van Halen
The Cars
The Police

Pretty good year.

Even the old farts (Rolling Stones - Some Girls) came out with something different. Who'd I forget?

I wasn't born yet, but my dad liked the late 70's. Other than high inflation and also wierd aesthetics in home decor. Oranges, greens and browns.

[OUTLAW1969]

Ace's is the best. Great hard rock album!

 

[Monkey Man]

As soon as you said 1978, I immediately (and predictably) thought of Toto's first album.

Singles:
Hold the Line, I'll Supply the Love and Georgy Porgy.

: POWERAGE . What a fuvking album

 

[alund]

I was born in the summer of 69 which happens to be a great number; But if I recall sultans of swing came out that year which to me is one of the best solos written on their self titled album I remember looking at that album for hours.

[Techdeth]

I forgot to add If You want Blood live album came out too . Riff Raff is epic on it

The whole decade was awesome. The 70's is in my DNA.

Yeah, came in here to mention the first Toto and Dire Straits albums. ´78 was a special year in music, no doubts there.

Oh yeah I had all these and all the other Kiss albums loan them to a friend in high school 1986 he left them in his mom and dad's Pontiac station wagon on a 95° day and ruined my whole collection

You win.......

In '78 i was living in Rockford, Illinois and my stepdad was a DJ at the largest top 40 radio station. Disco was a big thing there but I remember all the younger adults talking about Cheap Trick. A lot of the high school kids were wearing little Cheap Trick buttons....good times in that city man.

High Inflation: Check
Wierd Aesthetics: Check

Call me crazy but aside from the lead playing, there is zero doubt in my mind that musicianship and song writing were much stronger through the 70's.
