(Finished December 25th, 2020) Part 1 of What Rock Music Broke Through in The Peak Year of Disco?: Best Rock Songs of 1979

Hello,

I updated some of the video links that had ended and finished this blog again on May 25th, 2022. 

1979 was the probably the peak year of Disco, that genre dominated the top 100 year end chart. But by the next year, 1980, Disco was quickly on it's way around. But the year 1979 was a banner year for Disco. Despite that Disco break out year there was still a lot of great rock songs that broke through. I'm not one of those who hated Disco, I loved Disco and all of the great songs that came out of it. These blogs are an appreciation of all the great songs of 1979.

1) The Knack "My Sharona":

2) The Doobie Brothers "What A Fool Believes":

A couple of songs that are very much Disco songs, but they also rock!! Are these next two songs rock songs, disco songs or a combination of those two genres? Who cares both of these songs rock and kick butt. 

3) Blondie "Heart Of Glass":


4) The Bee Gees "Tragedy":

5) Supertramp "The Logical Song":


6) Cheap Trick "I Want You To Want Me":

7) John Stewart featuring Stevie Nicks "Gold":

8) Toto "Hold The Line":

9) Bad Company "Rock and Roll Fantasy":

10) Ace Frehley "New York Groove":

11) Dire Straits "Sultans of Swing":


12) ELO "Don't Bring Me Down":

13) Foreigner "Double Vision":

14) Robert Palmer "Bad Case Of Loving You":

15) Pink Floyd "Run Like Hell":

16) The Scorpions "Loving You Sunday Morning":

From Bon Scott's last CD with AC/DC with his too early death following shortly after. 17) AC/DC "Highway To Hell":
