Well, just to show that not everyone was into punk/progressive music since
day one, here are some of my favorite post-77 releases. Heck, 1977 was the
year I STARTED listening to western music! Just because some of them became
massive commercial successes doesn't mean their quality was sacrificed in
anyway, I feel.
(What do you mean, the deadline has passed?)
1 & 2. Kate Bush, Hounds of Love & The Dreaming
3. David Bowie, Scary Monsters and Super Creeps
4. Pink Floyd, The Wall
5. Pretenders
6. Fleetwood Mac, Tusk
7. Lindsay Buckingham, Law & Order
(one of the most overlooked pop gems)
8. Kyung Wha Chung, Tchaikovsky & Mendelssohn Violin Concertos, Dutoit
(two of the best performances on the same disc!)
9. The Best of Liona Boyd
11. Leinsdorf, Prokofiev: Excerpts from the Ballet, Romeo & Juliet
(Sheffield Lab)
12. Pollini, Chopin Etudes
10. I'll find some post-77 release of Chopin's Nocturnes right before I get
on the trip that'll strand me on a desert island.

p.s. Some of you morally untainted :-) David Byrne fans may miss his interview
(actually "20 Questions") in the March issue of Playboy. Nothing outrageous,
but worth reading.
