#PattiSmith may have inevitably grown up from that young innocent Chicago girl but her debut album has remained timeless and incomparable. Original, inspiring and symbolic, few albums have or will have such importance as Horses.

Lots of cool shit that year. The slits - cut would probably be my choice (with the germs as a close second). One of the most unique punk records out there, and one that truly embodies what it's all about. Timeless, raw, and unapologetically wacky.

1979 was also a year with great punk rock, post-punk, and ska albums.
Here's a selection—is your favorite among them?
Mine is definitely Ramones - It's Alive

#NowPlaying This was a leaving present from one of my team at the Virgin Megastore in Basingstoke who was dating Joe Strummer's daughter at the time. It was less than a week later that I heard about Joe's death on the BBC lunchtime news. Love them or hate them, this is a great Saturday night LP.
