1976 was a stupendous year for electronic music, I think this might be my favourite.

It just envelops you...and off you go.....

Yeah, "Cherry Oh Baby" is terrible, but the rest is a filthy & funky joy.

Charlie is ON.

Charles Shaar Murray & Lester Bangs hated it. Say no more.

16/ The Rolling Stones - Black And Blue

Not as heavy as earlier albums, Tyrone Downie's airy keyboards a contrast to the heavy lyrical content, take "Johnny Was", for example.

This album became Marley's first US top 10 album.

17/ Bob Marley & The Wailers- Rastaman Vibration

My gateway drug.

Before Rockin' All Over The bleedin' World, there was one more great Frantic Four record. And, thanks to amphetamine usage, it is very frantic. The punk propulsion of Is There A Better Way, the hypnotic drive of Mystery Song....

None more denim.

14/ Status Quo - Blue For You

A writer for The Village Voice had this in his top 10 albums of the 70s, & no wonder.

Building on the foundations of their debut, this is another signpost to the future of Irish traditional music.

A stunning record.

The return of the Thin White Duke...

Dave Marsh, rarely right, said this about it, "the most significant advance in LP filler since Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music". Marshy got it wrong again.

It's utterly magnificent.

11/ David Bowie - Station To Station

Parker reckoned this was the best album of 1976. Well, he would....

But, it is one special album. Rock 'n' roll with punk piss 'n' vinegar.

10/ Graham Parker - Howlin' Wind
