I don't fight, I run away
My mate's mate said "everyone knows" that 1971 was the best year for music
I've not seen the justification for that claim yet (even though everyone knows it to be true)
My mate said 1959 - a top year for jazz apparently
I said – off the top of my head – 1979
To back that up, I note that these LPs came out in 1979...
Cabaret Voltaire - Mix-Up
The Cointortions - Buy
The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys
Essential Logic - Beat Rhythm News
The Fall - Live at the Witch Trials
The Fall - Dragnet
Patrik Fitzgerald - Grubby Stories
Gang of Four - Entertainment (I don't like it, but I'm listing it anyway)
The Good Missionaries - Fire From Heaven
The Human League - Reproduction
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Thomas Leer & Robert Rental - The Bridge
The Pop Group - Y
Public Image Litd - Metal Box
Pyrolator - Inland
The Residents - Eskimo
The Raincoats - The Raincoats
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Join Hands
The Slits - Cut
Swell Maps - A Trip to Marineville
Talking Heads - Fear of Music
This Heat - This Heat
Throbbing Gristle - 20 Jazz Funk Greats
Tubeway Army - Replicas
Wire - 154
There's probably more, but even with just those it seems a pretty good year to me
