Voor deze KO heb ik inmiddels 128 albums verzameld. Er zijn misschien albums die er niet in thuis horen ( Live- en verzamel albums) en albums die ik vergeten heb. Aan jullie om eventueel correcties aan te brengen. Dan kunnen wij na de KO 1976 gelijk door met de de KO van 1975, dat ik toch een veel beter jaar vind dan 1976.

Voorspelling top 3 (afhankelijk van de loting) op alfabetische volgorde

Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Even vluchtig mijn eigen collectie scannend, mis ik vooralsnog de volgende drie:

Barclay James Harvest - Time Honoured Ghosts
Bots - Van Kwaad tot Erger
Lucifer - As We Are

Misschien geen topalbums, maar ze doen zeker niet onder voor sommige andere albums die wel al in de lijst staan.

Angel - Angel
Gino Vannelli - Storm at Sunup

Nog een paar suggesties:

Boudewijn de Groot - Waar Ik Woon en Wie Ik Ben
Eloy - Power and the Passion
Fela Kuti & The Africa '70 - Confusion
Scorpions - In Trance
Steeleye Span - All Around My Hat
Vangelis - Heaven and Hell

Edit: 3 albums geschrapt (Fungus, Jane en een 2e Steeleye Span) die niet boven de 15 stemmen-norm uitkwamen.

Ontbrekend:
Al Green - Is Love
Ann Peebles - Tellin' It
Barry White - Just Another Way to Say I Love You
Ben E. King - Supernatural Thing
Bill Withers - Making Music
Edwin Starr - Free to Be Myself
Euson - Sweet Surrender
Dionne Warwick - Track of the Cat
Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - Midnight Band: The First Minute of a New Day
Gladys Knight & The Pips - A Little Knight Music
Gloria Gaynor - Never Can Say Goodbye
Greg Perry - One for the Road
Gwen McCrae - Rockin' Chair
Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - To Be True
James Brown - Sex Machine Today
Curtis Mayfield & The Staple Singers - Let's Do It Again
Average White Band - Cut the Cake
Kool & The Gang - Spirit of the Boogie

Heb jij ook op het aantal stemmen gelet voor de door jou genoemde albums? Albums met minder dan 10 stemmen en een gemiddelde lager dan 3,0* vallen zowiezo af.

Zelfs met deze regels kom ik tot dit lijstje:
Al Green - Is Love
Greg Perry - One for the Road
Labi Siffre - Remember My Song
Michael Jackson - Forever, Michael
Millie Jackson - Still Caught Up
Smokey Robinson - A Quiet Storm
Sugar Billy - Super Duper Love
Tina Turner - Acid Queen
Donald Byrd - Places and Spaces
KC & The Sunshine Band - KC & the Sunshine Band
Labi Siffre - Remember My Song
Ohio Players - Honey
The Meters - Fire on the Bayou
Tower of Power - In the Slot
War - Why Can't We Be Friends?

Triumvirat - Spartacus zou nog toegevoegd kunnen worden.

Ah, een prachtig nieuw jaar! Ik zoek nog even of alles er lijkt te zijn..

Edit: in de categorie tijdverschijnsels: I can help van Billy Swan en Who loves you van de Four seasons

The orchestral Tubular Bells. Staat officieel op naam van David Bedford maar is ook met Mike Oldfield en behelst de orkestrale versie van deze klassieker.

Dan twee albums die volgens mij ook niet mogen ontbreken:

The Doobie brothers - Stampede
Chicago - Chicago VIII

Succes!

Ik heb nu met de aanvullingen in totaal 158 albums en dat is aanzienlijk meer dan het oorspronkelijke aantal voor de KO 1976.
Net als in dat jaar nomineer ik 128 albums. Er moeten dus 30 albums van de lijst. De limiet heb ik inmiddels gesteld op minimaal 15 stemmen en een gemiddelde van 3,15. Wat daar onder valt valt weg.

Gezocht: drie mensen die op As We Are van Lucifer willen stemmen. En niet te laag

Nog 4 stemmen nodig voor dit album: Angel - Angel (1975)

Dit zijn de 128 albums die mee gaan doen aan de Knock-out: 1975.

De limiet is minimaal 15 stemmen en een gemiddelde van minimaal 3,15

De lijst bevat geen verzamel- en live-albums.

Mocht een album die aan de limiet voldoet niet in de lijst staan dan hoor ik het graag.

Er staan echt prachtige albums tussen, wordt een leuk topic, ongeacht wie er wint.

Overigens is de titel van dat Steve Hackett nummer Voyage of the acolyte

Dat ALBUM van Steve Hackett

Knock-Out: 1975

imo wordt deze KO veel spannender dan die van 1976. Ik zie de topfavoriet "Wish You Were Here" van Pink Floyd in een mogelijke finale toch niet zo maar met 9-1 winnen van bij voorbeeld Bruce

ronde 1 tot 4 1 verschil
ronde 2 tot 5 1 verschil
ronde 3 tot 6 1 verschil
ronde 4 tot 6 2 verschil
ronde 5 tot 7 2 verschil
ronde 6 tot 8 2 verschil
ronde 7 tot 9 2 verschil

Veel plezier iedereen.

Ook weer waar...

Het is goed dat je ALBUM even groot schrijft, want het is een cd waar je met recht kunt spreken van een grootheid, hoewel ik hier op zaken vooruitloop....

1. Status Quo - On the Level vs Elton John - Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy

1-0

2-0

Laat ik ook vooruitlopen: jeugdidool Hackett kan op mijn warme steun rekenen.

3-0

3-1

3-2

4-2

2. Kayak - Royal Bed Bouncer vs Mandred Mann's Earth Band - Nightingales & Bombers

1-0

1-1 Helaas dat één van beide moet afvallen, maar dat heb je nu eenmaal...

1-2
