Nowhere in the discussion for top ten
1. Thread is "top albums" not "top ten albums"
2. Different strokes for different folks. I prefer Spectres over nearly all other albums listed here.

Gotcha, but a lot are numbering 1 through 10.

Didn't say these were "the best" albums.
Just the "top" albums. These albums resonate and are always talked about as being definitive of the 70s. You can list the Buzzcocks and The Babys all you want, but those guys, while somewhat influential in some circles, were not definitive.

You just read an alliteration. "The Babys and the Buzzcocks".
It is a rhetorical device.

Yeah, but Babbling Bubba Babcock didn't release an album in 1977.

The Bee Gees laugh at your list.
Say what you want, but the Bee Gees had success before and after disco. They were a victim of their own success during the disco era.

I do dig on some Bee Gees, still probably wouldn't make my list

Ol' Waylon - Waylon Jennings
Simple Dreams - Linda Ronstadt

One of my favorites of all time
Marquee Moon definitely takes the top spot of 1977 albums

Yeah, The Who were overrated
They weren't doing much of anything in 1977.
Disco was strong in 1977.
Not a good year for music, the long slide down hill was firmly underway.

Two things....
1. The Buzzcocks were f'n awesome.
2. They aren't influential "in some circles", they are staggeringly influential across all pop culture. They are arguably the first pop punk band, and they were definitely the beginnings of punk finding a more marketable and mainstream sound. And punk and disco (hip hop springs out of disco's head, fully formed) are the two most influential pop music movements of the past 40 years.
