And waaaayyyyyy too many more...
This year may even top 1977 for sheer depth of quality albums.

+1 on:
Bruce
T. Heads
Wire
Zevon

and I need to listen to the Eno and PIL albums a bit more, but am guessing that they would be pretty close too.

Hell! Looking through AllMusic, I could probably do a 12-pack or even a case for '78.

Yeah but I could do that for pretty much any year in the 70's and don't think I'd put '78 in the upper half of the decade in terms of overall quality.

"Atomic Punk" is the best Rage Against the Machine song.

This thread has gone FAR too long without a single mention of The Cars' debut album.

Nearly listed this. 78 kicked off the No Wave/Post-Punk stuff so this probably more important than the average comp.

What can we say? David Lee Roth is, simply, sexier than Ric Ocasek.

I got no beef with VH - right up there with that Cars record for album of the year.
