^^Because 77 is a charming, original record full of wonderfully skewed songs. There's a great description of their early sound - 'haute banal'. It's really true - Byrne is at his most nervous/agitated on their début, while singing about the most ordinary things imaginable, yet making them elegant. It's a well thought through album, which I don't think Remain In Light is, despite its obviously good tracks.
