    1979 was significant in that it was the first year the Throbber got to 2nd base.

    So much music has been blended into "rock" over time, but ask punks, new-wave, etc. back in the 70s and 80s if they were rock...."fuck no" would be their response. Maybe open the whole thing up for all music, add in pop, country, rap, and what you think "rock" is. That would be interesting.

    so many good ones in 79

    but how can you contend with lyrics like

    'with a garlic aroma that can level Tacoma'
    'with gigantic tits and sand-blasted zits'

    EDIT: picked Sheik Yerbouti because I have to go to Tacoma tomorrow and I was singing this song the other day when I counted 19 snakes on the edge of the driveway

    I mean, yeah, those lyrics are totally tits, but


    "It wasn't the first
    It wasn't the last
    It wasn't that she didn't care
    She wanted it hard
    And wanted it fast
    She liked it done medium rare"

    ...Poetry :D

    Accept the fact that even though The Cure get lumped into the new wave glut like The Smiths do that neither of them are what I would describe as typical New Wave groups. The Cure, along with Bauhaus and Joy Division originated from the Bat Cave scene of the late 70's. They really, outside of a few singles, have zero in common with Flock of Seagulls, Big Country or even Duran Duran. That is the truth. End of argument.
    ...and still not rock.
