The Greatest Music
1977
by Ash
The 896th greatest album of all time
1977 is Ash's 1996 debut studio album that blends pop punk urgency with Britpop and indie rock melodies, often colored by noise pop textures. The songs are generally concise and guitar driven, pairing bright, hooky choruses with rawer, feedback-tinged guitar work and an overall youthful, high-energy feel. The record established the band's early sound by balancing punk immediacy and pop songwriting within the mid 1990s alternative landscape.
