When it comes to deciding what the best year for music was, you need to look at a few different elements. You can\u2019t just lazily point at bands like the Ramones, Boston<\/a> and Eagles and say that their presence is reason enough. What actually did they do that made the year so innovative? <\/p>\n

Albums can\u2019t just sound good in the moment; they need to help steer music in a positive direction and have exciting elements that you can hear clearly, not just in 1976<\/a> but in 2026 as well. That\u2019s what you get in music throughout the \u201870s, as this was when artists were at their absolute most innovative.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Genres were being invented, and if they weren\u2019t, the foundations that they would be built upon were being well and truly set out. It was an exciting time to be a music fan, and even in the modern age, when you listen back to a lot of these records, it\u2019s as if a portal back in time has been opened, one that allows you to glimpse at the past while keeping your feet firmly planted in the future. It\u2019s a truly magical experience.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The way that these albums have aged can only be likened to a stunning fine wine, so here we go, pay the corkage, and get ready to glug glug glug. I\u2019m getting notes of banging tunes. <\/p>\n
