    George Benson's Breezin' was a great one from 1976.

    I know More Than A Feeling and Foreplay / Longtime get all the attention but this is my favourite from Boston's debut.

    The Modern Lovers - ST
    Second best album of all times (although recorded in 1973, was released in 76, so it should qualify?)
