1976: Your Favourite Album

Hejira. I still have LP and CD, still pull it out for Coyote, probably my favorite Joni Mitchell song.

" . . .I tried to run away myself
To run away and wrestle with my egooooooooo
And with this flame . . ."

 

None of the above for me.
Aerosmith "Rocks"
Led Zeppelin "Presence"
Kiss "Destroyer"

 

Rolling Stones - Black And Blue
Zappa - Zoot Allures
Genesis - A Trick Of A Tail
Miles Davis - Water Babies
Status Quo - Blue For You

 

Bowie

 

Cheers for even putting Futuristic Dragon on there! An eclectic album for sure, and more than a little strange. I love it!
Also a fan of Black and Blue - The Stones

 

An underrated album... my favorite alongside with Electric Warrior and The Slider.

 

From that list, Rush --- 2112.

 

I don´t consider 1976 a great year in music in general, but it has one of the best ever albums: Station to Station, from David Bowie.

It is incredible to see that at the moment I write this STS is the most voted. An album David Bowie does not remember very well.

 

Ramones, Rising, No Heavy Petting, Virgin Killer, Rocks, Sad Wings Of Destiny, Jailbreak/Johnny the Fox...
Jazz - Steve Reid Nova, Kenny Wheeler Gnu High

 

OP missed a lot of Albums to vote for

 

None of the above.

Fly Like An Eagle.

 

MMCXII

 

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers self-titled debut.

 

BÖC-Agents of Fortune
Rush-2112
Led Zeppelin - Presence
Kansas - Leftoverture
Steve Miller - Fly Like An Eagle
Thin Lizzy-Jailbreak
Bowie-Station to Station
Genesis-Trick of the Tail

Led Zeppelin- Prescence
ELO- A New World Record
The Eagles- Hotel California

And my favourite...

Wings- Speed Of Sound


It was VERY close between nearly all of them; in fact it could change to Jailbreak OR A New World Record, any second!

 

From your list:
#1 Otis Rush --- Right Time, Wrong Place
Burning Spear --- Man In The Hills
Augustus Pablo --- King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown
Peter Tosh --- Legalize It
Lee Perry And The Upsetters --- Super Ape
Tom Waits --- Small Change

 

Good choices but Fela fits in.

Probably the weakest poll so far.

Genesis
A Trick of the Tail

 

It doesn't fit in with "My Favorites".

 

It doesn't have the one with Disco Duck on it, so I'm not voting.
