1979:

1. James Chance & the Contortions - Buy

Another one of my top 5 favorite kind of records. This one is easily the ultimate no wave album, easily trouncing anything the likes of DNA/Teenage Jesus & The Jerks/Mars/etc put out. The band knew what they wanted to do and they did it well, no doubt. And as deconstructed as some of these songs are, they still manage to make you want to... well maybe not dance, but contort yourself? Hell yes.

2. Gang of Four - Entertainment!
2. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
3. Public Image Ltd. - Metal Box
5. Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material
... let's do 8:
6. Wire - 154
7. Buzz****s - Singles Going Steady
8. The Pop Group - Y

(One of the best years for music, eva)
