Looking back on 1977, it was a canonical year in music. Many releases eventually found their way to a number of greatest-albums-ever lists, but perhaps a lot of the music was simply overrated. In retrospect, iconical may be a better term, as career-defining more aptly describes a lot of the music from 1977. In fact, if you asked 100 people to list their top 5 albums from 1977, you would get 100 different answers with only Fleetwood Mac's Rumours making the majority of the lists.
