Pretty fantastic results for Marc Bolan and T. Rex in the January 1978 Record Mirror polls. However, much as I am a fan, this was heavily influenced by the fact Marc had died late the previous year, and there is no way that Dandy in the Underworld deserved to be the best album of the year.
Now l liked Queen back in the early days, but it still should have been 'Never mind the Bollocks' as best album, and The Sex Pistols as the best band, despite the fact Fleetwood Mac and Abba were way more successful.
Gig of the year for me was Status Quo at Lewisham in December, which l hitch-hiked down to as a young whipper-snapper (and what a tale I have about that). Gigs and the times were a lot different then. Trust me.
