1979-Best Albums

[kourosofsteel3]

So I've rated almost all the 79 albums I have in my collection. It was a refreshing proof of the consistency/reliability of my rating system, because the top 5 consists of albums that I constantly play (or visit regularly to spin a couple or three tracks from them).Actually the only ones! (+ BOC's tracks: The Vigil, Moon Crazy).

 

 

 

Asia-S/t 90%

Scorpions-Lovedrive 83%

Eloy-Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes 82%

Impeccable-Live on The Rox 81%

Nokemono-From The Black World 78%

 

 

Survivor- All Your Pretty Moves 77%

Foreigner- Head Games 66,5%

Magnum- II 65%

Blue Oyster Cult - 64%

Teaze- One Night Stands Out 63%

 

 

 

Silvertrain - Which Plattform Please? 62%

Kansas- Monolith 58%

Yeah, actually I frequently find myself pretending that 1978-1980 exists only in the understanding (see Anselm's ontological argument ).

You guys remember that Pink Floyd's "The Wall" came out in '79, right?

[Nightrain]

Tough one, one that I'm familiar probably only PF, Toto, AC/DC, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, well overall could be a disastrous year

[Glen]

Havent considered 1979 too much.........my lists start at 1980, but my favourite release would easily be -

 

Journey - Evolution

 

Classic album imo and prob easily hits 95%

[Dead Planet]

You guys remember that Pink Floyd's "The Wall" came out in '79, right?

 

I have never cared for concept albums...I picked up The Wall and listened to it maybe twice and that's it... the only PF release that is a must own IMO is Dark Side of The Moon......
