“I was 8 years old for most of 1977.” says SquidHat
founder, Allan Carter. “Hell, my wife wouldn’t even be born for
another 11 years. Music for me music was all about KISS which
eventually took me to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Later I would
discover The Ramones, Pink Floyd, The Clash, Stevie Wonder and
Parliament Funkadelic, proving to me again and again, time after time,
album after album … that 1977 defined music for me, my friends, and
every generation since.”
made you feel like dancing or Rose Royce ever made you get a car wash.
If Manfred Mann’s Earth Band had you blinded by the light, or ABBA
called you their dancing queen. If you ever checked into the Hotel
California, longed for an undercover angel, or let Debby Boone light up
your life on the way to becoming the punk fan you are today, this
album is for you. Perhaps, after all this time, these really are the droids you’re looking for.
