'''''1977''''' is a [[Rock (music)|Rock]] album by [[Ash (band)|Ash]], released in May of [[1996]] (see [[1996 in music]]). The [[punk rock]] influenced album proved popular in the [[United Kingdom]] and, to a lesser degree elsewhere, where Britpop was a small cult phenomenon.
The name is a reference to year of three events which shaped the band - the births of two members of the band, the year ''[[Star Wars: A New Hope]]'' was released, and the year the first [[punk rock|punk]] albums were released, though it has been suspected that the ''Star Wars'' reference is the most important; the album opens with the sound of a [[TIE Fighter]], and ends with the track "Darkside Lightside", whose title is a Star Wars reference, and which also ends with a choral version of the ''Star Wars'' main theme. The band have also [[cover version|covered]] "Cantina Band", on the "Girl From Mars" [[b-side]].
The song "Kung Fu" mentions [[Jackie Chan]] in the lyrics. In reciprocation, Chan has used the song for the end credits of his movie ''[[Rumble in the Bronx]]''.
