Earlier today, the Onion AV Club posted a new article in its My Favorite Music Year feature, an appreciation of 1977 by Jason Heller. Reading it, I was surprised to see so great albums named, and when I looked at the 1977 in music Wikipedia entry, I saw he'd only scratched the surface. It's a pretty amazing collection of music.
