Top Songs of 1979

I wish I could go back to 1979!

[@charles-y2z6c]

Why? inflation was 18%, gas prices through the roof, war brewing in Middle East, worried about nuclear war with Russia, the president was useless. You have that all today. You do have KZbin today and can listen to the music from 79.

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

[@leonardol4745]

13 years old. Growing up in a predominantly cowboy ranch area in rural Texas made it kind of difficult when I fell in love with this great music and left country music. Blondie was the best!!

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.

I'd go back and do it all over again. Life is no fun anymore. Everything is so serious. I miss all my loved ones that has passed. ❤ 😢

[@iammaryannninaus]

These were the top songs the year I was born…I am proud to say that I was born 1979..20th of April 1979 to be exact.

[@CharlesAtwell-or7bm]

What, you don’t like this? There is nothing offensive here unlike today’s music!

[@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!

[@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.

[@mikesonneson2824]

I don't know where you were in 1979 but this wasn't the songtrack heard by the masses and local radio.

Just making an observation, over half of them are black. It is important to consider when we project our modern perspective onto the past. All this says of course is that their was a general acceptance of, at the least, black entertainers. You can project whatever you want onto that, as you will (aas obviously I have, I mean would that be possible today outside of hip hop? Don't think so). Lots of great songs for sure.
