1977 OMAs: Album of the Year
Pretty good, but either too much or not enough.
Album of the Year
Rule Zero
"If zero albums are up to OMA standards in a given year, none of the albums get an award that year."
OMA Rules of the Road
Worth A Listen
- Chicago X, Chicago
- Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie Wonder
If you only listen to one song: Ngiculela-Es Una Historia-I Am Singing
Songs in the Key of Life
There are many gems on Songs in the Key of Life. For my taste, the album is too long, and a handful of the songs are too long. Not a huge deal... nothing the skip button can't fix.
Chicago X
Chicago is an eminently listenable band and likely one of my favorite discoveries from the OMA project.
The 1977 nominees for Album of the Year
