So many great hits I was born in 1960, so this year was a GREAT year for music as far as I am concerned!

[@TinDoors]

songs had soul back then 😔

[@johnrenteria75]

Crazy to think that 40+ yrs went by so quick. The end of the 70s were great in my eyes. I can think back to my family members dancing at the house parties when they were young. Now most are in their 60s, 70s, and 80s now or they are no long with me anymore. But the music takes me back.

[@philmaguire3887]

The 70Th music was some thing else there was a real Top 30 that time not like today's tank God for utube with press of a button we can have all those great songs the youth to day are so luckie we use to have to waite till Tursday top of the pops to here those great songs they still great today Jeff linn Dollor Dooliee Denes Reeso and so many more today's stuff it won't be listen to in 40 years I am 60 and tank God still have the long hair Phil Maguire tank God for the music o I will mention the great ABBA. too

[@SuperKanonier]

It's good to know that no matter how old we were or where we lived, or our nationality, we were all listening to that music at the same time! Fantastic times.

[@infinityotto]

Wow! Great selections! I seem to remember hearing Ricki Lee Jones' "Chuck E.'s In Love", Supertramp's "The Logical Song", and Cheap Trick's live version of "I Want You To Want Me" on the radio that whole summer. And, of course, Billboard's top hit of the year: The Knack's "My Sharona" (R.I.P. Doug Fieger). All these songs bring back so many wonderful memories as a kid.

[@LadyOfMaine]

infinityotto Whenever I hear Chuck E's in Love I always stop and listen. One of those songs that for me, defines the era

[@Afib95]

I won an ounce of gold from a radio station contest this year and when we gave the correct answer they played Cheap Tricks song Take the Long Way as they said we were right! That piano start was fantastic. Oh yea and by the way the price of gold had just hit 1K an oz! Great years for sure!

Hello Karen!

[@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821]

I remember roller skating to many of these songs in Muskegon, Mich in 1979. These are some best music ever.

[@reneemallicone6839]

Being born in the 60s and to see so many of the group's from then still just as great thru the 70s and into the 80s just shows real music is timeless. It's a shame it stopped about 1985 but it was a good run for a lot of these groups. It's a shame the garbage kids listen to now. Thank God for KZbin. The classics will never disappear. Thank you.

[@jaylayland2867]

How right you are. 1979 was a pivotal year for me. Do you ever wonder if this kind of music was still being made maybe just maybe people would more kind and caring today?

[@roys3580]

The best years for music, for me, were between 1975 and 1985. From 1986 onwards, there were still the odd good record, but when that Chicken song by Spitting Image came along in 1986, that was the turning point. Music, downhill from there.

[@johnlamond4463]

[@BrendanMacWade]

What an absolutely insane year. I love pop and disco. But you have to take into account that it was a massive year for New Wave, Punk and Electronic. Gary Numan. The Clash. A little new band called The Cure. A massive disco hit called We Are Family that was the theme song for the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough. HIGHWAY TO HELL. Talking Heads. The Police's second album. Elvis Costello's best album. Fleetwod Mac's best-selling album. A great album by Supertramp. And an epic album by Pink Floyd called The Wall. I can go on and on. 1979 was MASSIVE.

[@charmelizabeth8584]

You cited some great songs/bands Brendan A. MacWade, that were also coming out at the time. You could hear in the variety of genres, the change in sound that was about to take place, by the end of the 70s. I like the softer songs too, but I really started to get into Gary Numan and the punk and rock sound. Harder rock is still my favorite!

[@mikeratcliffe1671]
