DIRTY WORK that is a great song really shows off David palmer. I didn't realize who performed the song for years. For some reason, I thought it was the eagles? Anyway another nice top 10 video. Thanks.

Great video 👍.....

I’m with most of the other commenters, (Davies, Springsteen, for sure) and I understand you excluding Dylan and Paul Simon (not really rock in my opinion) but including Bon Scott and David Lee Roth and leaving off Elvis Costello leaves me baffled. Even if you’re not a fan there’s no getting around the quality of the lyrics, and they can be interpreted in so many ways. And did you leave Layla off your 1970 album list? I’ll have to disagree with you on that one. Do admire you on your boosting Pete Townshend. And it wasn’t just The Who. There’s a lot of great writing on Rough Mix and Empty Glass as well. But respect to you Mike!

Another great video. I would love to sit in on any course you offered on music and culture. Your perspective is always spot on. Burt is one of my favorites as he was kind of a bridge between my father's generation and AM radio. He is a classic and was the epitome of cool throughout the cynical late sixties and early seventies. "Stuck to their guns"... as you so accurately describe. Would be great if you took a look at Henry Mancini and Peter Sellers as well. Someone once asked me my favorite movie and I replied anything with Peter Sellers.

Thank you for giving all the other “Rising” some notice. Tarot Woman Starstruck Run Like Wolf Give “Do You Close Your Eyes” some due. “Stargazer” stands on its’ own.

Great choices.

Great job enjoyed the music. New subscriber.....👍

Another cool video man! While I do feel that 1976 was generally a step down in overall quality compared to the previous 6 years of the 70s (which were all simply sensational and the greatest years in rock history to my ears)......that's not to suggest that there wasn't still a lot of great stuff released in '76 too, like some of your picks for example. Some other great 1976 records (granted, not all completely rock records, but definitely containing rock elements): -Jeff Beck: Wired -Bob Marley: Rastaman Vibratrion -Camel: Moonmadness -Joan Armatrading: Joan Armatrading -Bob Dylan: Desire -Queen: A Day at the Races -Weather Report: Black Market -Brand X: Unorthodox Behaviour -Soft Machine: Softs -Bebop Deluxe: (BOTH) Sunburst Finish and Modern Music

My second favorite Elton John album, after Madman Across the Water, is Blue Moves from 1976, which I would consider one of his underdog albums. Joe Walsh’s former bass player is in the band. Walsh himself had considered joining before becoming an Eagle.

Great stuff thanks. Keep it up. Looking forward to 1979

From a lifelong Stones fan: any comparison is ridiculous. Kind of like, which is better: the Lakers basketball team or the Real Madrid soccer team.

Yes a good year again. My most played albums for that year were The Royal Scam, Songs in the Key of Life, and Hejira. I still have them and they clearly show signs of being "well loved". Btw, I had forgotten about the title song on "Trick of the Tail" for decades. When I re-heard it, something about it gave me the chills. I love it's Medieval creepy vibe. I went out and bought the CD. Will listen to the whole thing now. 👍🏻 Thanks Mike.

Another great list, (couple questionable inclusions 😉). I would add; -Queen-Day At The Races -AC/DC-High Voltage -Rush-2112 -Kansas-Leftoverture -UFO-No Heavy Petting -Thin Lizzy-Johnny The Fox -Judas Priest-Sad Wings of Destiny

Thanks again Mike, always coming through with informative tidbits, I really dig that.

Great guitar demonstrations for those classic, Bicentennial tunes. And I’m glad you began the video with ‘ Trick ‘ by Genesis. I was 14 that year and ironically, living in Pennsylvania while hearing Squonk on the radio, without even knowing what that song was about 😆. But, I just remember hearing it, and Dance on a Volcano thinking, “ wow, who ARE these guys ? “ I was already becoming a fan before I even knew them by name. And I also recall getting into Kansas, Rush and Alan Parsons in ‘76. Obviously, I’m a prog head, but of course there were plenty of other bands that grabbed everyone’s attention, during another excellent year of rock releases.

1976 is my favorite year in rock. I would like to add Sweet - Give Us a Wink, Ted Nugent - Free-For-All, Starz -Starz and Foghat - Night Shift

Another terrific year of rock expertly presented here, very enjoyable.

Bob Dylan and Neil Young both put out some great music during the mid-1970's: Desire, Blood on the Tracks, Tonight's the Night, Zuma can stand with anything.

Yessongs from the group Yes (3) records and a book. Sweet Freedom Uriah Heep Raunch 'n' Roll Black Oak Arkansas The Captain And Me The Doobie Brothers FM Live Climax Blues Band (2) Records

Another great episode. I absolutely love all these album. It really shows you how awful music is today. You picked ten albums, and some back ups,but really you could have picked 30 album from 1976 no problem….. really any year throughout the 70’s. Cheers

Yes, Hejira...I remember buying that album in 1976 and was shocked how good the album is, I'm still in shock, its by far her best album.

I love your best of year videos, Mike. With bated breath I am waiting for 1977. Will punk rock shake it up a bit?

Nice list Mike ….. Fly Like A Eagle :- Steve Miller Band in the ten for me 😎👌🇦🇺🎸

I'm glad to have found this podcast

DAVE STEWART/ BARBARA GASKIN - AMELIA m.ua-cam.com/video/V_t5UG19rU4/v-deo.html&pp=ygUmRGF2ZSBTdGV3YXJ0IGFuZCBCYXJiYXJhIGdhc2tpbiBBbWVsaWE%3D IT'S A REALLY NICE COVER OF THIS SONG.

Hard Rock fan here from 1969 and LZ II. My fav track from Aerosmith Rocks, was, as usual *not* the radio "hit," but was "Nobody's Fault." I remember hearing Heart on the Dallas radio in 1975. Zep's TSRTS was a fav release in 1976. Too bad the band didn't release a triple live soundtrack album. Stupid not to. ELP, Chicago, and others had released multi-album sets with good success. Wings Over America coming in Dec. of 1976.

Was actually worried you weren’t going to talk about Brad Delp’s amazing voice but you did!

I tuned in specifically for Rainbow Rising and Boston, and wasn't disappointed. OK, maybe a little, Kansas needs to be in there!

YOUR COMMENTERS ARE JUST AS INSIGHTFUL AS YOU ARE, MIKE. THANK YOU EVERYONE. I'M LEARNING A LOT FROM YOU ALL.

Your channel is very insightful. I like the way you play your guitar with parts of songs that you want to demonstrate the things you like with. Gladly subscribed, sir. Having a hard time in my life right now my fiance just had a stroke and things you're looking uncertain around here. But I'm proudly going to keep track of what you do. Rock rules. And so do you!

RJD was an awesome lyricist, that quoted verse is great. His passing was the only "celebrity death" that ever affected me personally. His music meant so much for millions of people, and the 10 year stretch he had from 1975-85 is unparalleled. Every album he released in that period is a candidate for any rock fan's top 10 album list.

Cool list, Mike. I particularly appreciate the inclusion of A Trick of the Tail, Dreamboat Annie, Rainbow Rising, Hejira and Hotel California. My favourite albums of 1976 include these plus: David Bowie: Station to Station Joan Armatrading: Joan Armatrading Peter Frampton: Frampton Comes Alive Rush: 2112 Shawn Phillips: Rumplestiltskin's Resolve Bad Company: Run With the Pack Bob Seger: Night Moves Jeff Beck: Wired Tangerine Dream: Stratosfear Al Stewart: Year of the Cat Santana: Amigos Steely Dan: The Royal Scam Bob Dylan: Desire Mahogany Rush: IV Genesis: Wind and Wuthering Steve Miller Band: Fly Like an Eagle Strawbs: Deep Cuts Gordon Lightfoot: Summertime Dream Bob Marley: Rastaman Vibration Frank Zappa: Zoot Allures ELO: A New World Record Jean-Michel Jarre: Oxygène Manfred Mann's Earth Band: The Roaring Silence Cheers!

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Mike also today is my oldest sister birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

Very enteraining top 10 as always Mike. Keep them coming. So enjoyable!!! Some 1976 stuff I love is 2112. It couldn't crack your top 10... but like you said it's so hard to pick 10 only. Tom Petty and the Heartbeakers debuted that year as well, always loved Breakdown.What a great song that is. AC/DC High Voltage as well, "It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll!!!" Anytime I fire up Presense, I skip right to Tea for One, and then go back and play the rest. That would be my #1 for 1976.

dude Ritchie Blackmore left Purple after Stormbringer album in '75.

Great list! I love your analysis of Genesis and Peter Gabriel. Squonk could have easily been on side 5 of Physical Graffiti. I like your honorable mentions instead of a couple of your top tens. Only real omission for me is Peter Frampton... another classic live album that I thought of immediately along with Boston and Presence. Speaking of Boston I have to mention that I saw Robin Trower open for them at the Omni in 77 or 78... another rockin show.

I loved Tony Carey’s Planet P Project in the 80s

Some of my picks: Agents of Fortune Boston Fly Like An Eagle Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Phil Collins had hair??

For a massive fun treat, see live covers of Magic Man and More Than Feeling by reputedly the world's best cover band, the Hindley Street Country Club (HSCC), out of Adelaide, Australia. Its very insightful to see these songs played live with beautifully recorded sound and visuals using now technology.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: 1)LEFTOVERTURE- KANSAS 2)DESTROYER- KISS 3)2112- RUSH 4)NIGHT MOVES- BOB SEGER 5)THE ROYAL SCAM- STEELY DAN Also a correction: A commenter has mentioned that Ritchie Blackmore actually left Deep Purple after the Stormbringer album, not after Burn!

Great video! The plethora of covers by artists in the 60's up to the present show that these songs have aged well and continue to resonate.

Bacharach wrote some pop songs, but for songwriting duos I'd have picked Boyce and Hart, or Sloan and Barri, who each wrote respectable rosters of hit songs. Bacharach hated Love's version of My Little Red Book, even trying to prevent its release. He preferred Manfred Mann's version, as tepid and treacly as it was. I lost all respect for Burt, after that. I don't consider him an "artist", only a word mechanic.

8:12 To be pedantic; it's flugelhorn not trumpet, that's typical of Bacharach.

Thanks, just found your under-appreciated channel. Have subscribed and loved your analysis.

Isaac Hayes also did an amazing version of “Walk On By.” I love Dionne Warwick’s version, but Aretha’s is my favorite. “I Say A Little Prayer” was actually about a woman praying that her lover was safe in Vietnam.

In addition to those mentioned in the video, I would consider Hank Marvin, who apparently was a huge influence to British guitar players in the 1960s, and Jeff Beck, who influenced guitarists in 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s. Couple of your choices can be considered to more about being in influential band than being an influence as a guitar player and in that category there some players worth considering, George Harrison, for example. As a sort of hidden influencer, I would suggest Allan Holdsworth.

The story of Alfie with its three versions by three singers is captivating.

Great music by a great team. I got weepy watching this video. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was a sound track I owned and listened to a lot!

I really enjoyed this, I feel that I've learned something about Bacharach and David's music. I've always been a fan as I love melody, especially when the lyrics are so clever which makes a great interpreter even more important. I always think of Bacharach and David as a bridge between 'The Great American Songbook' (Porter, Gershwin etc. and the rest of popular music.
