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. "The number of thy counting shall be three, not two, not four" Fu-Sheng 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.
