The thread said 'Year of Punk; so discounting Punk.  In 1977 The Clash released The Clash London Calling was 1979 and I think Radio was 1976? 
 
I would say London Calling was a Pop album though but well crafted mind.
If it wasn't Radio it was Easter, it doesnt change much.
 
Easter was 1978 Wink No, Doesn't change a thing.  Although it is a thread about pop and about 1977. 
Ok. It's that I consider pop everything is not Progressive, Newage, Jazz or Classic. Sex Pistols are pop for me.
 
I tend to see pop as stuff made for the mass market which can include stuff here such as Pink Floyd.  I could never see something like Crass - Christ the Album as Pop.  Whereas you would.  The thread said no punk so I like to stick to the rules as set by who made the effort to make a thread.  otherwise ...

Bat Out of Hell was the first album I ever loved, so it gets my vote even though I never listen to it anymore.

Yep.  I kind of agree Slartibreakfast.  However, I think that makes them pretty shabby pop albums. 
 
Low was in 1977 too?

I did the same...however I'm aware of a discussion about adding Meat Loaf to the prog-related section. At least that album features the UTOPIA Todd Rundgren...

I can't vote between Bowie, Alan Parsons, and Meat Loaf.

....yeah, look, maybe he went downhill fast, but Bat Out of Hell is great.
 
Oh and another good fit for this poll would be Supertramp's Even in the Quietest Moments.

Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees was in 76 but i love that album, but also Aja is great, i like Stevie Wonder, Bowie, Abba, and Fleetwood Mac, and the Eagles.

I'm torn between Heroes and Aja.  I'll have to listen to each of them before voting.
