Yeah yeah. I was only 6 at the time though. I went with NEW ENGLAND ("Dont Ever Wanna Lose Ya" is such a killer pomp tune)...

Wow, this is actually a tough one. I saw AC/DC with Bon in 1979 so "Highway to Hell' holds a special place for me there. I LOVED 'Dont ever wanna lose you" , but not the rest of the album. "Strangers in the Night" was a fave of mine . Here in the south, Molly Hatchet , Blackfoot, and .38 were all huge . My first girlfriend bought me "Freedom at Point Zero" Armed with hindsight, my vote went to Rush . but also that year was:

Zeppelin - In through the Out Door

Van Halen II

ZZ Top - Deguello

Bad Co - Desolation Angels

Fandango - One Night stand ( I really liked that one and would love a CD copy ofit)

Rory Gallagher - Top Priority (A late, great guitarist's best i.m.o.)

Tom Petty - Youre Gonna Get It ( I think ? was '79)

here's food for thought: almost 30 yrs later, these tracks are still classic rock radio staples:

Cheap Sunglasses

Rock & Roll Fantasy

Highway to Hell

Highway Song and Train, Train

Flirtin with Disaster

Rockin' into the Night

Spirit of Radio and Freewill

Dance the Night Away

Lovin Touchin Squeezin (even thoght its my least favorite track on the great album)

Head Games

Jane

In the Evening and all My Love

Dream Police

[Rafo Phoenix]

I have to agree with this, and also add Queen-Live Killers,Whitesnake-Lovehunter,Rainbow-Down to Earth and Motorhead-Overkill&Bomber.

 

From the list, i went with Blackfoot, followed by Molly Hatchet and Rush, but i think the Rush album was released in 80 not 79.

[Clutch]

Totally missed this one. Went with Gamma but a lot good music from that year.

[cdjunky41]

Every album classic I.M.H.O.

 

I went with NEW ENGLAND

 

I had it on 8-track/ album/ and now c.d. I never got the cassette form, because I never found a copy...

[bangerdave]

I went with Permanent Waves-Rush then Dream Police-Cheap Trick,Evolution-Journey and Sinful-Angel.Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya is a classic but i could not get into the rest of the album.
