Re: Greatest Album of 1979 - Preliminary Round 3
well, before Eat to the Beat gets sent to bed, I want to say that the first 3 songs on side one, "Dreaming". "The Hardest Part" and "Union City Blue" are a strong as a first three anywhere. Including Elvis, Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Great choice of albums. I've said for years that 1979 is the best year for music ever. However I do accept that it's subjective and in my case may be age related.

Superb run, nearly as good as 2,000 Man, Sure Know Something, Dirty Livin' on Dynasty.

Re: Greatest Album of 1979 - Preliminary Round 3
The Germs' (GI) i sitting at three votes and I'd like to send out a plea for any stragglers to consider getting it through the preliminaries.
That album helped spawn the hardcore movement and it remains one of its finest exemplars. Every track on it is a classic. It's worth remembering that, when the hardcore bands started, Darby and the gang werent keeping up on whatever bullshit storylines NME was running. They had those class of 77 records and just thought this was the next logical step. The pure democratisation of punk rock. That old saw about how punk was something everyone could do? Fuck that, the common shithead couldn't put together NMTB or release a single like New Rose or whatever. But any alienated punk could get together and start a hardcore band. This album that documents the sound of Darby Crash bring punk rock, truly, to the people. And it still fucking slays to this very day.

Oh, and I voted Germs, Blondie, Madness and The Slits. Patron saint of lost causes that I am.
