Aagghh, I forgot New Boots and Panties was in 1977. A absolute classic, but with a dash of the parental advisory (I was 17 and living at home at the time). Gotta have this.

It’s on a par with a streak of 773 in Wordle!

We need an Only Connect tiebreaker.

Struggling to get Twiggy’s body clock onto GMT.

1977 was of course the year of Rumours and the great Steely Dan album Aja. If we have nailed down 1971 and 1977 as truly great years of the 1970s (with nods to 1970, 1972 and 1978 as well), does anyone have a candidate for the best of the 1980s? Well aware we are into Fall territory here…

It turned out that John Lydon really did like Pink Floyd after all.

Did you say horses douvers? Bit harsh on The Floyd though as you know I think they would have been truly great had Syd Barrett not fried his brain and had stayed with the band.

Warming to the theme.

1977’s album Animals by Pink Floyd is my favourite of theirs. Now in case you think they should have been swept away by punk, just listen to the lyrics. Roger Waters was far more angry than the ravings of the punks and he had hardly started (a mere hors d’oevres to the Wall and The Final Cut).

Speaking of the great man… Low and Heroes!!!

I’ll let you guys decide.

Heavily influenced by Bowie’s involvement Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life is a must. Title track.

Never mind the bollocks, here’s the Sex Pistols
