Fantastic eclectic mix of albums. Just thinking back to 1978, in the UK anyway, which was so tribal about music (I'm sure that's probably true for the U.S.A. as well, more or less?) you would never get those albums in the same collection! Your typical Elvis Costello fan woud probably look down his or her nose at Judas Priest and AC/DC. I think that's one positive about the here and now, it's possible to listen and enjoy records and evaluate records on their own merits and not be influnced by what a music snob friend thinks or what the NME has written. Anyway, I thought that was a great selection and definitely not predictable, a great watch.

When it comes to top 40 hits I’m familiar with most in the 60’s and 70’s. A lot of the 80’s hits are foreign to me.

Ha! I was hoping for Siouxsie & The Banshees.

I was not expecting Siouxsie and the Banshees to top the list. After several listens of each album it became clear.

Hey Richie bro I'm not doubting you in any way but you don't look old enough to have grown up with the Beatles bro. LoL we don't look much older than I do and I was born in 66.

I know This Years Model made my top ten but I don’t remember where. Most likely towards the top of the list. I like Comes A Time but it would more than likely make my top twenty.

I was 19. So 1978 *should* be golden music memories and the best culture of the century or ever since. That's the theory, isn't it - - old farts prefer the culture that was contemporaneous to their prime and interpret progress as all downhill as *we* go downhill. Well at 19 this old fart already knew the culture was on the skids and unlikely ever to recover. I was growing fast but the culture was shrinking, and my sustenance was yesterday's music and yesterday's books and a big tank of a manual typewriter. The best of it was the Sixties and the penultimate best was the Fifties because it was the eve of something happening. A teen, and nostalgic already - - I *knew* what 1978 would be like because 1974, 75, 76 and 77 were shit too. A pattern was developing. The Eighties was such a booby trap that we've all been trapped in the Eighties ever since. So it turns out there's no such thing as progress, not for the last half century or the foreseeable future. All that triggered by a V-R selection! I'll try to be upbeat next time, though it might require cranes and haulage equipment. I did buy 'Baker Street' 45 rpm in 1978, does that count? Go, Jets. Go, V-R.

Let's split the difference, I'll meet you halfway through the 70s.

re Ac/ Dc...for me their best, by far was Let There Be Rock...the band were at their bone crunching best on this classic. Powerage was also damn good before they descended into pop / rock territory.

I considered Let There Be Rock but it didn’t make the top ten because of two songs. I don’t know if AC/DC went pop/rock but I would say they started playing it safe.

Hats off for putting The Scream at #1, great album. But hey, while I know it wasn't released in 79, but it was supposed to be, I would have put Static Age by The Misfits. Just sayin.

@@vinylrichie007 IMO the Stranglers LP, although not quite as startling as their debut, is still excellent and contains arguably their punkiest song, I Feel Like a Wog. When my list of the 15 best punk albums was published, many readers tossed shade on me for leaving out the X-Ray Spex LP. I think it is great, but many can't get past Poly's voice. As you say, it's all a matter of taste and everyone thinks differently, thank heaven.

Personally, I like The Cars' Heartbeat City as my favorite of their albums, but their debut album was killer.
