Top 52 Music Albums of 1979
by 
O.T. 
50 Albums - one year. And I am sure the list will still extend a bit. It‘s shocking. For the 2000s I felt 40 albums were worth mentioning. I wouldn‘t trade anything from my 1979 list down to rank 45 for the whole second half of my decade list of the 2000s. „Tell me when it’s over“ - I told you or at least I told myself.
