I definitely think that Journey - Infinity Is an underrated must-have for 1978. This was the first album with Steve Perry on vocals. The guitarist, Neal Schon, really shreds on some tracks too. There are a number of songs on this LP that really didn't get much air play on FM. The song Winds of March is one example. There were also a number of songs which have been played over and over on FM radio through the years like Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'. But it's an incredible album and one I think everybody should check out! Brian in Fort Worth 🎶

Good picks..the best Kraftwerk album in my opinion is "radioactivity" Here's two....The Buzzcocks .."Different Music in a Different Kitchen"... Pere Ubu..The Modern Dance..A little history There was a band in the 70s called Rocket from the Tombs..Some of the members went and formed The Dead Boys..The singer for RFTT..Crocus Behemoth..started using his real name,David Thomas and formed Peru Ubh..The Modern Dance is a fine diamond of a musical display...

Thanks, again Danger man. Always gonna suggest Joan Armatrading, this year's To The Limit, shines. And, a guilty pleasure, Legend by Poco. Keep it up, my friend.

You have Deep Purple - "Burn" sitting right behind you (when you were commenting on hard rock with The Scorpions). Once again you have ignored Ry Cooder - "Jazz". Otherwise, great presentation.

ohh, love that van album. Into the Music the next year gets more fanfare (and rightfully so, it's a great album), but Wavelength as a lot to offer. As do a few of the following albums, Common One and in particular, Beautiful Vision. Here, My Dear - I was just listening to it last week. That is my favorite Marvin album, bar none. It's pretty perfect.

Alice Cooper’s solo “From The Inside” - using most of Elton’s back-up band plus Steve Lukather, Dick Wagner, Lee Sklar, and others. It’s a concept album about his stint in an Asylum and features the FM hit - How You Gonna See Me Now. Underrated and often over shadowed in his canon! Boom!

good 'ol Nick Gilder...nice cancon! 'hot child' is a great track, obviously, but my personal favourite is 'we'll work it out'. For 1978, i'm picking Still Here from Ian Thomas. Most of his 70's albums are under-rated and unavailable on CD, so if you come across any old vinyl, snatch it up! ✌🎶

@@vinylrecordplayer thanks, i know you're not a punk guy (it seems) but you might like the Thunders - It's his best solo by a mile. Also, the Bryan Ferry and Lee Dorsey really are excellent and are probably more your thing. Also, love the channel, I'm always finding new stuff from you. Downloaded That Link Wray Album a while ago - what a trip. I love one off/idiosyncratic stuff like that.

Thanks. Nice picks. I got into Scorpions-Loving You Sunday Morning on their Lovedrive album. In 78’ I liked: Ian Thomas- Still Here, Camel- Breathless, 1994-1994, Chilliwack-Lights From the Valley, Neil Larsen- Jungle Fever, Gong-Expresso, Golden Earring- Grab It For a Second, Robert Palmer- Double Fun. Also, Crack the Sky- Live Sky and Max Webster - Mutiny Up My Sleeve!

I would have to tack on Saga’s self titled debut album. Solid first album, great players. Keyboard/synth heavy, melodically driven prog rock. ‘Humble Stance’, ‘Tired World’ & ‘Ice Nice’ all stand out tracks. The band didn’t really break in the states until two albums later, then seemed to be gaining some traction and then they pretty much faded from the airwaves in the U.S. altogether.

52nd Street by Billy Joel was a great album from 1978, although perhaps might not come under the label of 'underrated' to those who know it.

IMO the most underrated album of 78 is Generation X's eponymous debut, one of the 20 greatest punk albums of all time. Then you have as runners up, The Saints Eternally Yours, X-Ray Spex Germfree Adolescents , and The Rezillos Can't Stand the Rezillos.

Hey, Danger, so great that you gave the Jam a nod on this video. The Jam were the heroes of my youth. All Mod Cons (AMC) was such a leap forward for them. Weller really took control at this point. Setting Sons is still my favorite by them with AMC being a very close second. I saw them at the Santa Monica Civic for the Setting Sons tour - POWER AND PASSION! I was floored. I got to see and meet them on their final US tour/show at Perkins Palace in Pasadena. You may not know that there was a bit of a Mod movement in San Diego at the time (80-81'). Vespa's, Parka's and fighting with the Rockers. All in good fun though. Ah, the good ol' days....

Mr Danger, this one was also nice. Need to check Nick Gilder, he is a new one for me. I would add few for 1978: Allen Toussaint - Motion, Jerry Wexler, producing, LA A team playing and Allen Toussaint doing his magical thing. The second is Frankie Valli's ...Is the word. It has two songs by Bee Gees, but overall it is very good dance record and it is one of the best sounding records in my collection. It is a dollar bin record for sure, but still worth checking out. Rodney Crowell's debut Ain't living long like this is a great debut country album with then modern twist. Andrew Gold's All this and heaven too is a good pop rock album, and it has Thank you for being a friend.

"Motion"? I just bought a 2 cd Allen Toussaint collection that has Life, Love and Faith, Southern Nights and Motion. I've heard the first 2, love the first. Haven't gotten to Motion yet. How would you rank it with his previous 2? Thanks!

@markovirta4213 3 ай бұрын

@@grahamgreene779 Motion is a bit slicker and the arrangements are bit cleaner, since it is done in LA with Jerry Wexler. It has Toussaint's version of Night People, which alone is a keeper. I would rank it as good as those two previous albums. Somehow listening to these albums I get the feeling that Toussaint was a big influence on John Lennon's solo material.
