THE 200 BEST SONGS OF THE YEAR 1979 A.D. 
This post: #90-81. Continues this weekend.

Caffé Latté presents: 200 GREATEST SONGS from 1979 As the 1970s drew to a close, pop music offered up some of the best tracks that showcased an array of genres. This was the last great hurrah for disco, spearheaded by Giorgio Moroder in the wake of Saturday Night Fever. Synth-pop was gaining momentum. Punk morphed with new wave. Sony launched the Walkman, making music more portable than ever before. Michael Jackson teamed up with producer Quincy Jones to take his solo career to a new level. Here are 200 examples of the great music released during the final 12 months of the Seventies…
