Top Ten Best Albums of 1978

The Top Ten
1 Queen - Jazz

Can't beat "Bicycle Race"

2 Van Halen - Van Halen

This should be #1. The debut to one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

3 Blondie - Parallel Lines

Can't believe this album wasn't even in top 10 - way better than Queen's album.
Parallel Lines is classic

4 The Cars - The Cars

One of the greatest debut albums of all time, this plays like a greatest hits album. One of the greatest ways to introduce new wave to the mainstream.

Let the good times roll!

5 The Rolling Stones - Some Girls

Led by the Stones' funky disco attempt ''Miss You'', the cool and calm ''Beast of Burden'', and the frantic, guitar driven ''Shattered'', this album stands as one of the Stones' last great studio efforts (besides 1980's ''Emotional Rescue'') before the mediocrity of the 80s set in.

Seriously, How is this not on here.

6 Genesis - And Then There Were Three
7 The Who - Who Are You
8 The Police - Outlandos d'Amour
9 Rush - Hemispheres

Why does every one of this list have an album from queen or Michael jackson on 1st?

Nothing against them, is just that there are better bands

one of the last jewels of the 70's prog rock

Amazing band, best album

10 Tormato - Yes
The Contenders
11 Judas Priest - Hell Bent for Leather
12 Billy Joel - 52nd Street
13 AC/DC - Powerage
14 Kraftwerk - The Man-Machine
15 Boney M - Nightflight to Venus
16 Gladys Knight - Miss Gladys Knight
17 Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians
18 Tubes - What Do You Want from Live
19 Cheap Trick - Heaven Tonight

All it took was the release of smash hit live album ''At Budokan'' the following year for American audiences to really pay attention to this American band who had seemingly hit it big in Japan before their own home country. This album is considered Cheap Trick's best, and is led by the anthemic single ''Surrender''.

22 Judas Priest - Stained Class
