The Best Albums of 1978

THE BEST ALBUMS OF 1978
Here’s my fourth retrospective. Based on positive feedback to three previous “Best Albums” lists from 1976 and 1977 and 1975, today focuses on 1978. I was age 17 then, which for most teens is a glorious age of musical awakening.
This was lackluster year in music. If this were a writing assignment, I’d turn it down. Insert criticism here.
Summation — I rate 1978 as one of the worst collections of music in the era 1960-1990, probably of this entire “best of” series. Sure, there were many excellent albums released which will be discussed. I just don’t see an abundance of greatness. I see a few dozen really good albums, then quite a drop off.
