Are you confining it to the UK?

I'd need to miss out on a few of those 1979 UK releases myself. The Doolies? The Nolans? Didn't Max Bygraves bring out a 'disco' single then? And Cliff???!
1979 had some classics (in my meaning of the word) which will live with me forever. 'Death Disco,' 'Are 'friends' Electric,' 'Playground Twist' and then a few thousand more including a certain ep and single by The Clash. But, like every year, there was just so much shite, absolute shite, to wade through, that the stuff that made the charts isn't even the stuff that really stinks. And most of it did anyway.

Was it the Dooleys who sang "Wanted?" I quite liked that tune. Also big props to the Nolans for "I'm In the Mood For dancing."

Heston, are you taking the piss? I'll bet when you grew up you thought the Goombay Dance Band were authentic Jamaican folksters.

Probably more shit made in that year than any other. For every great record there is a shit one.

Dave202, I'm not taking the piss. I like those songs.

Big shout out for the Equals, Soul Brother Clifford is the best song by anybody that never charted.

Never released as a UK single. However was released in New Zealand where it reached the top 10.

Hello,

Not directly in line with the theme, but tonight I listened and watched to Shine a Light (Stones and Scorcese film) and the Pistols show from the Longhorn - wow. These cover the ends of the spectrum. Even if the Pistols lasted a thousand years and sold a gazillion records, I can't imagine the Pistols doing a meet and greet.

90s college rock band from, I think, Austin, but they sound very much like mid-80s Athens, GA.

Recently picked up this 7'' which is quite rare now. Probably the first new wave band from Atlanta GA. Reminds me a bit of "Chairs Missing" era Wire.
