1976:
1.
The Residents -
The Third Reich 'n Roll
Maybe their second best after "Not Available", although they've got plenty of good stuff to choose from. Great album.
2.
The Modern Lovers -
The Modern Lovers
A near-perfect rock 'n' roll album that seems to age astonishingly well. It's been called proto-punk for a good reason, as I think this is an almost perfect embodiment of the attitude that we'd later associate with punks. But who cares about that? It's a great record.
3.
La Düsseldorf -
La Düsseldorf
This may not be Neu!, but it's nearly as good! Still relevant today. Great sounds.
4.
Charlemagne Palestine -
Strumming Music
Wonderful, beautiful minimalism. Tested my patience until it finally hit me what a great thing I was listening to.
