    Me too. It's had 35 plays on my iPod in the last 2 years. It's the moaning that does it ;-)

    Out of the Blue (ELO) was 1977 - A brilliant Album and that Baccara moaning was far better than the moaning I get now!

    Great to still be able to see so many of those great bands today.
    Saw these in last year or so
    Feelgoods
    Stranglers
    Blockheads
    Vibrators
    Rats
    John Cooper Clark
    Buzzcocks - the very best
    Rezillos
    Eddie and the Hot Rods - he hasnt changed!

    Others still touring

    The Damned (just finished gigs in Japan)
    Undertones - Italy tour in the Spring
    The Members - London next month
    Magazine - new CD and tour a couple of months back
    Iggy - Three European festivals this year
    UK Subs stormiung Europe right now, as is

    I'm sure there are more, but these are on my radar - I never clicked the connection to 1977!
    Most of them doing 35th anniversary tours or some such.
    Not seen a bum gig from any of them, despite becoming pensionable.

    What a great list stonemuse. A must buy, I was 13 in 77 and this lot hit me like a fright train.
    As MOG says proper music.

    Ah,heady days,I was an over excited 16 yr old & bought a drum kit for£10 and formed "The Infants"
    Our first gig was at The George Green Centre on the IOD and we wheeled all our equipment through the foot tunnel in wheelbarrows.

    What was pivotal in those times was the wonderful DIY nature of it all when we made our own clothes,brought out independent records & xeroxed fanzines.

    All gone now of course,X-Factor anyone?

    That's a great list - but not a patch on 1967 ;-)
    I'm with you. I've always maintained 1967 was the peak - Sgt Pepper, A Whiter Shade of Pale, the year of the Hippies.....

    All those tracks are still a staple in my music player. Loved it then, still loving it.
    Foreign Affairs by Tom Waits was 77 also. Some of his most heartwrenching stuff in the 70's.

    David Soul Dont Give Up On Us 11-01-1977

    Thankfully didn't buy one of those!
    Was my first single that I bought at the age of seven, in Crisp Street Market, Poplar, when visiting my Nan.

    Still love it today and sits along side my obscure indie vinyl collection.
