1976 war ein schwieriges Jahr für mich. Es vollzogen sich mehrere grundlegende Geschmacks-Neuausrichtungen. Prog Rock war für mich weitgehend uninteressant geworden, der Pub Rock war haargenau mein Ding, der Punk erst noch in den rüpelhaften Kinderschuhen, aber: Das erste und für mich bis heute beste AC/DC Album kam raus. Das hat mich total umgehauen. Kurz nach der Veröffentlichung hier in Europa hab ich sie live gesehen als Vorgruppe bei Black Sabbath. AC/DC war spitze, Black Sabbath zum kotzen.

Auch 1976 gab es unglaublich viele tolle Alben, die ich bis heute gerne höre, darum auch hier nur:
meine 30 essenziellen Inselscheiben von 1976.
