I'm going to skip you're post if its obvious you didn't look at the list before nominating. Alot of the albums nominated are already on there and its a pain to go through a 20 album list and only have 2 not already on.
MB's Top 100 Albums of the 75-79 - Rate Your Music All you do is look at that hit ctrl + F and type in the album name on both pages, if its not there then nominate it. If it is, well there you go. |

There's some bloody good stuff that's been listed already. The only exceptions I would add are:
The Knack - Get The Knack (1979) The Ruts - The Crack (1979) Madness - One Step Beyond (1979) I'm also a bit shocked that The B-52's and The Jam - Setting Sons don't make it into the 184 albums listed... |

Aye - you're probably right. For me it's probably more to do with the fact it's the one Jam album I owned and grew up listening to... !
|
Can you add:
Tangerine Dream-Force Majeure. Punishment Of Luxury-Laughing Academy. |
Let's start discussing removals, by discussing I mean suggest them and I'll remove them unless I disagree than I'll call you on it.
MB's Top 100 Albums of the 75-79 - Rate Your Music REMOVED: Aerosmith "Live Bootleg" AC/DC "Highway to Hell / If You Want Blood (You've Got It)" Beach Boys, The "Love You" Billy Joel "Turnstiles" Bob Dylan "Desire" Bob Marley and the Wailers "Live!"
