[edit]Punk rock

Perhaps most important is the beginning of what has become known as the punk rock explosion. 1977 was the year of formation of The AvengersBad BrainsBlack FlagCrassDischargeFearThe Flesh EatersThe GermsThe Misfits999The PagansPlasmaticsVOMThe Weirdos, and X.
1977 also saw the release of several pivotal albums in the development of punk music. Widely-acknowledged as masterpieces and among the earliest first full-length purely punk albums, The Clash by The ClashThe Damned's Damned, Damned, Damned, the Dead BoysYoung, Loud and SnottyJohnny Thunders and the HeartbreakersL.A.M.F.,The Jam's In the City, the RamonesRocket to RussiaRichard Hell & the VoidoidsBlank Generation, the Sex PistolsNever Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex PistolsTelevision's Marquee Moon, and Wire's Pink Flag are usually considered their respective masterpieces, and kick-started punk music as the musical genre it eventually became. The year also saw the release of debut albums by bands often associated with, if not defined as, punk, thought to be the beginnings of "New Wave" such as Elvis Costello's My Aim Is TrueMotörhead's MotörheadSuicide's Suicide, and Talking HeadsTalking Heads: 77. It also saw the release of Iggy Pop's Lust for Life, his second record as a solo artist.
