Classic Rock Review of the Year 1977
With the golden age of classic rock winding down, 1977 became a great year for pop/rock music in general. As the relatively short fads of punk rock and disco were exploding on opposite sides of the music spectrum, clear and accessible rock-based pop music was dominating that spectrum’s mainstream. Still, a few holdouts from the classic rock and prog rock eras of the recent past put out some interesting material this year.

The highly transitional year of 1977 included scores of albums which we were not able to review. These ranged from the English folk of Songs From the Wood by Jethro Tull, to the harder rock of Cat Scratch Fever by Ted Nugent, to Journey‘s final album before enlisting Steve Perry as lead vocalist. |
