Head Injuries by Midnight Oil was another great 1979 release.
Ooh yeah definitely. Not as good as Countdown or Red Sails, but a classic nonetheless. What a tremendous band.

Also, in a slight counter to the usual '79 trend, Devo released their weakest of their first three LPs that year, Duty Now For the Future. A fine record, but the releases on either side of that one are more important and better. 79 doesn't quite win them all, I suppose.
I still think Secondhand Daylight is a great album, but I prefer Magazine’s releases on either side of 79 as well.
My only beef with Real Life is that it's a song too short but it's got just the right mood. Daylight may be my favorite. It's just so pleasingly cold, though I do echo the usual critique that the guitar needs a bit of a boost. And I may actually prefer the live version of Feed the Enemy. And Soap is, of course, completely untouchable.

Try some full fat yoghurt. I mean who are you Bob Geldof?
