I voted for Pat Benatar - In the Heat of the Night. I still love the song "Heartbreaker".
I do own some Saxon albums, but I've never heard their debut, so I couldn't vote for that.

Looking at that lineup and other choices in the comments, '79 was a solid year for new music.

The Undertones debut is an incredible album.

The Specials debut is really hard to beat. Sure Joy Division's debut album was important as fuck...but it really is not a great album. "The Specials," on the other hand, from song one to the last is a remarkable album. Just look at the tracks on the album here. Every single one of them is a top song:  |

As much as I like The Specials, the idea that Unknown Pleasures is not a great album is something I just can't comprehend. |

As much as I like The Specials, the idea that Unknown Pleasures is not a great album is something I just can't comprehend. It is easy to comprehend that "Unknown Pleasures" is not a great album because "Unknown Pleasures" is not a great album. The mark on Joy Division is that they were not an album band, they were a singles band. That is true. Just look at the some of the songs they released that were not on any album: "Atmosphere" "Glass" "These Days" "Dead Souls" "Transmission" "Love Will Tear Us Apart" Those are brilliant tunes. Joy Division's single/EP/compilation releases were far better than any full album they ever did. And if you think "Unknown Pleasures" is a great album, then you should actually give a listen to the songs that are on that album before Martin Hannett got a hold of them. Just listen to this incredible earlier version of "Interzone." You still want to say "Unknown Pleasures" is a great album? |
