I've recently been listening to a collection of Rock from 1977 (as compiled by someone who I can't remember). Lest I over-date myself, I was only 11 in 1977, but I listened to most of this stuff as I was growing up. Heck, most of it still gets airplay today! So, if you have an appreciation for older music, and your tastes run similar to mine, then you might enjoy perusing this list of albums, which are represented on the collection I'm listening to. I did not list every song from the collection for each album, just a few tracks to help with identification.
