Top 10 Albums of 1979: Fleetwood Mac, The Clash, AC/DC & More

Coming up, we’re breaking down a year that might be the best ever for the lost art of the ALBUM: 1979. It was truly a year of classics. Including a record by The Clash, a band that was so damn broke, they ate nothing but food from a can. And then a great song, Train in Vain, came to them at the last second when the album was already being printed... so it didn’t even appear on the track list. It was a hidden track at the end of the album, and most fans didn’t even know it was there-It became their Biggest hit. Then there was the legendary Fleetwood Mac who were coming off a record that sold 40 million, and then their guitarist made a goal to do everything not to repeat it..It ended up being the most expensive record of its time and only sold 1 million copies. Plus there’s the Supertramp album cover that may have predicted the destruction of 9-11 if you put it in front of a mirror, also the AC/DC album where a hard rock band skipped the evil back masking and told fans right up front what it was, the highway to hell, and it drove parent crazy it’s the Top 10 Albums of 1979, NEXT on Professor of Rock!
