1979

Welcome to the 70's! This decade is often seen as the golden decade for music. The birth of metal, glam-rock, progressive rock, stadium rock, disco, punk, birth of electronica, and birth of new wave all happened in this decade. Most of the most iconic concept albums are from the 70's. 1979 list is still closely linked to approaching 80's, but already the list is a lot better than most of the lists in the 80's. The sounds detach themselves from electronic, overly-produced sounds and authentic instruments are more audible. Of course there are few synthesiser sounds here and there, but their use is classy. This year's list consists mainly of different versions of post-punk and modifications of punk's first wave. The songs are more melodic than couple of years before. This year is full of great songs and great albums! There are a couple of huge classics on this list!
