Wonderful list, loved that ELO record. My taste through the years have drifted into the punk and new wave music that suddenly took off but classic rock and prog still were making their presence known
You, sir, have excellent taste. And I appreciate your commentary. Subscribed. I know all of the albums you cover, with the exception of Astonishing Sounds, which I will check out, based on your recommendation.
Hello from New Zealand. Im the same age,as you. I was 16 in 1976 and was into music. I like Roxy Music and had their albums For your Pleasure 1973, Country Life 1974, Siren 1975 and Manifesto 1979. Bryan Ferry lead singer released a solo album titled Lets Stick Together in 76. I had it on vinyl then. Punk exploded like a bomb going off with the Damned's song New Rose at the tail end of the year. Loved it. I recorded onto blank tapes off the radio alot, mainly Rock / Pop songs. Blue Oyster Cult were cool back then with their single Don't Fear the Reaper. Good records. From Carl.
Hello & Bore Da from Wales. Some superb Roxy Music there, I love the Bryan Ferry "Let's Stick Together" album. I'll br showing my Ferry collection in the next few months. Ive already done a look at my Roxy Music & BOC collections but may update them. Thanks for watching Ken
Hi Ken a few I have here thin lizzy rush and the stones some great live albums that I have. .. lots of great albums came out in 76 .. thanks for sharing
Finally someone mentions Viva Roxy Music. It's never included in lists of classic live albums. I quite like the fact it's only 8 tracks, every one is brilliant, but especially In Every Dream Home and an epic If There Is Something, which in my opinion surpass the studio versions. SRTS was the first Zep album I ever owned when I was 15 in 76. I remember being very disappointed when I finally heard the studio version of No Quarter on Houses Of The Holy whixh sounded so flat compared to the SRTS one. Another great 'short' live album is Get Your Ya Ya's out, 10 tracks of live Stones at their peak.
Viva! was my first exposure to Roxy Music at like 16 years old (in '76). I was hooked and have been a fan since. The tracks "...Dream Home" and "The Bogus Man" should have been replaced by tracks more stellar, but I realize "...Dream Home..." has a peculiar fascination to Roxy fans...it is a very ambitious vision on Mr. Ferry's part.
There were some great live albums that were short I also love ac/dc if you want blood, guess also there were just several great live albums in the seventies, UFO strangers in the night etc
@@chrismiller1183 There were so many great live albums in 76. All The Worlds A Stage. Also two that pointed towards Punks emergence in the mainstream the following year Stupidity by Doctor Feelgood and Metallic KO by the Stooges which includes Iggy goading a gang of Hells Angels while bottles bounce off the amps.
In my opinion, Genesis' A Trick of the Tail is the best album of that year. Perhaps I was surprised that Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life was not mentioned in the video.
Hey Ken. I was 23 and working in a record store in ‘76 so I have all those records except for Rush who I’m not a fan of. I used to see them when they were a covers band in Toronto. Geddy’s voice just isn’t my thing. Because I’m not a fan I have probably put my Canadian citizenship in jeopardy 😁. Cheers.

Yes we were spoilt in the seventies
Can’t fault this list Ken I have all of them apart from Roxy Music & Golden Earing and they are all regularly on my playlist. Best regards Robert
We were spoilt for choice in those seventies years

We can't like them all. 76 was one of several great years I was 18 and now feel so lucky to have been that age at that time.
