1976 in music: The big albums turning 50 this year abc.net.au/news/2026-05-02/197… #MusicIndustry #History #Music

Fifty years ago, music was on the brink of major change with seismic arrival of punk rock to centre stage

The music industry is always in a state of flux, but what was happening in 1976 was akin to the dinosaurs looking up and seeing a meteor on the way.

I think the 70s were a bad time for music, and this list would confirm that. Just one monumental album (the Ramones oc), a handful brilliant ones (Blondie, Steve Wonder, plus some you left out). Some formative ones (Tom Petty, Rush...).
All in all, much has not help up well. Too commercial, too whishy-washy.
