The year 1979 was a seminal watershed moment in rock music. The
year saw the release of Pink Floyd's The Wall, David Bowie's
Lodger, Led Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door, Bob Dylan's Slow
Train Coming, Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, Elvis Costello and the
Attractions' Armed Forces, Joe Jackson's Look Sharp! and I'm the
Man, Stiff Little Fingers' Inflammable Material, Gary Numan/Tubeway
Army's Replicas and the Pleasure Principle, Joy Division's Unknown
Pleasures, the Jam's Setting Sons, the Clash's London Calling, and
the UK 2-Tone phenomenon. It also saw a slump in album sales, a
resurgence in single sales, and the peak and bloody death of disco.
Now, with the help of new and exclusive interviews with artists and
producers, New Waves, Old Hands, and Unknown Pleasures tells the
varied, vibrant, and often unexamined story of popular music in
1979. It reveals the stories behind key recordings, traces the
trajectories of commercial and artistic successes, and explains the
musical and socio-political context behind the sounds of the day.
