Top 42 Music Albums of 1979

Listened to this year for #5albums79. Another cracking year. Lots of great post-punk, new-wave and disco of course. Best discoveries were probably the jazz, James White, Holger Czukay and Thomas Leer & Robert Rental. I was surprised how much I enjoyed Lodger, having not really enjoyed any other Bowie album so far.
