What The Hell Is Wrong With Me - Songs 1977

Songs from 1977. An incredible year for music. This is Part 1 of a long mix of 60 songs that includes some of my favorite songs across many genres that make up this personal point of view.

These are songs from my collection but not everything here was pounding out of my stereo in 1977 although much of it was and all of it would be in a few years.

Many of these albums and bands would be the foundations of my collection for years to come and several of my all time artists are represented here such as The Clash, Talking Heads, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Television, and David Bowie. Many more will be in Parts 2 and 3. It was a year of punk, new wave, disco, funk, reggae and just plain great rock. This is a mix of some of the music that made 1977 a fun year in music.  We were in college and there were lots of house parties. Some of the art school dance parties exposed us to some cutting edge punk, disco and reggae sounds.
