I would have argued that too but then I checked my '79 playlist and there are very few post-punk songs there but for what it's worth I'd have considered, Boys Don't Cry, Language School, Up The Junction, Mourning Star, Oliver's Army, Rhythm Of Cruelty, You've Got To Pay and Chelsea Girl. Oh, and definitely Strange Town instead of Eton Rifles 😊
👋 Hello again. You have an amazing collection of 45 singles. I had one foot in the Punk scene and one foot in the Disco in 1979. I was 19 that year. I liked the Ska Two Tone sound that year , with The Specials being my favorite band.
Probably my favourite Punk/New Wave singles year. Many had reached their commercial peaks (often not necessarily a good thing) with great exposure on shows like TOTP. In Mike Read we had a daytime Radio 1 DJ who was prepared to play the likes of 999, XTC, Icicle Works, The Jam, The Members, The Vapors and Mod Revival acts seemingly avoiding playlist restrictions! Great to hear these on the school bus radio on the way to school!!!!
What a great list. I was 13/14 in 1979 and had just started seriously buying records. I have quite a few of these all bought at the time. Cruel To Be Kind is probably in my all time top 10, such a feel good song (even though the lyrics are far from that). The Ruts at number 1 is hard to argue with. And good to hear Get Over You mentioned too as it's my favourite Undertones song. What a blistering riff it has. And finally my favourite Stranglers tune made the list. Punk pop at its very best.
Loving the video's makes me all nostalgic 😂 I did have to check though to see if my record was still there, everything you mentioned is in my collection. I was surprised not to see The Frantic Elevators though for 1979.
@thevinylorchard5929 that surprises me, I saw them in 1978 I think. They were fronted by Mick Hucknall. Really good live. Let me know your opinion if you don't mind. 👍
I had many of these 45's on the Jukebox in my parents Pub, in Edinburgh.......... after talking them into giving me permission to open an account in Ripping Records, to buy records (one for the pub,one for me😁)
Chris, would agree with many of these single choices. However it could have been a Top 30 and would have included - Sham 69/Hersham Boys, Tubeway Army/Are Friends Electric, Generation X/King Rocker, Tourists/Only want to be with you, Squeeze/Up the Junction, Sex Pistols/Something Else, Blondie/Dreaming, Boomtown Rats/Someone looking at you, UK Subs/Tomorrows Girls & Stiff Little Fingers/At the edge. So much good stuff released in 1979, will never see a year like it again.
@@TheVinylOrchard I personally think the first wave of Punk died in December 1980. In 1981 it then started to split into sub genres like Oi & Anarcho Punk that were pretty awful compared to what had gone before them. Even the UK Subs changed direction in 1981.
From my article on the 15 best punk albums The Peel Sessions Album. Recorded 1979-1980. Finally released in album form in 1990. I know what you're saying. "Huh? Bro, where's their one 1979 classic album, The Crack, that reached #16 on the UK Charts?" A quick comparison of the tracks on The Crack and The Peel Sessions Album shows the latter to be far superior. Plus, the playing is just as good, with some tracks like "Savage Circle" even more blistering in the BBC Radio 1 session. The Ruts got together in London in 1977. A recently unearthed demo recording from that year shows they were legit card-carrying members of the punk class of '77 even though their professional career began in January, 1979 with the single "In A Rut" bw "H-Eyes" on the small collective-like People Unite label. It was followed by the chart success "Babylon's Burning" bw "Society" on Virgin in June, 1979. The Song "H-Eyes" is about heroin addiction and in an interview in July, 1979 their charismatic singer Malcolm Owen said in NME "... "...take the song "H-Eyes," about the smack, right? It's not saying naughty, naughty, you mustn't ever take smack. It's an observation of a guy I knew who died from smack. I've taken it before. I wouldn't write it otherwise--It's just: "You're so young/ You take smack for fun/ It's gonna screw your head/ You're gonna wind up dead." You know? It's not saying you mustn't do it...but let's face it, it's no good for you. It's nice when you take it, but it's going to fucking kill you if you get well into it. That's all. I'm just trying to put my own experiences over, a lot of people are impressionable." In one of the great tragedies in modern British music, Owen died of heroin overdose on July 14, 1980. This album consists of three Peel sessions from January 1979, May 1979 and February 1980. Stellar musicianship from Paul Fox, guitar, Vince Segs, bass and Dave Ruffy, drums, powerful songs throughout and Owen's robust singing straight from the heart. The three great tracks I've posted do not appear on The Crack. Absolutely top tier storming punk with some evocative reggae numbers thrown in. A stone cold masterpiece all in one take at the BBC. The Ruts leave 98% of punk bands spinning in the dust. How can you top this?
I actually have that fold out sleeve for that XTC ace tune. It is a game of snakes & ladders where you can be either Nigel or Nigel's parents... (dice not included)
Hi Chris, regards the Skids and “into the valley”. The Skids mostly came from Dunfermline in Fife (Scotland) and part of this song’s lyrics is about being in local gangs and fighting with lads from neighbouring villages/towns, and one of the local towns is Valleyfield, a few miles from Dunfermline, hence the line “into the valley”. P.s. my first punk gig, was the Skids at the Kinema Ballroom (Dunfermline) in April 1979, tickets were £1.50, I can still remember that night 😅
Aw man The Ruts, still gets me to this day, convinced they could've been everything The Clash turned out to be & even more, huge shame. Paul Cook sang Silly Thing on the rock n roll swindle album, Steve Jones sang on the single, must be unique that?? One of my fave LP's Drums & Wires 👍🍻
Fantastic collection of singles. Makes me feel 20 again. You can never underestimate the effect the years 77-79 had on music. It had been wrestled back and was relevant again. Just around the corner was Two tone and the HWOHM. That feeling of hearing the Damned sing "is she really going out with him" at the start of New Rose. The sound of the opening of Anarchy.. or 1-2-3-4 intro by Ramones. The list goes on...thanks for making an almost 66 feel young again. Look forward to more videos. How about focusing on particular bands or regions.
Great selection as usual Chris,hurry up with 1980 ,lol 😆 some memories there... remember following Steve Diggle from Buzzcocks around Liverpool city centre and getting his autograph, they had just released "Harmony in my Head" with him as lead singer instead of Pete Shelley. Think Duchess was reviewed on Juke Box Jury with John Lydon who asked the audience what they thought of it.Charlie Harper UK Subs is related to Caesar Romero who played the Joker in Batman series ,he's 80 this year l think. Eton Rifles ,superb bass line. XTC brilliant but think they packed it in after Andy Partridge was attacked on stage.Saw The Skids who had the great encore song "Albert Tatlock" Will have to get my box of singles out of the cupboard!
I remember that programme, it was Siouxsie and the Banshees, Playground Twist. Johnny asked the audience what they thought and it was a mixed reaction. Alan Fluff Freeman was on too and him and Johnny were, very volatile toward each other. 😅
Greetings again from the West Coast - next to the hometown of The Pointed Sticks. They released 5 singles (you showed the second) 1978-81 - all very collectible - and an LP in 1980. We know you like Stiff Records and in 2008 a CD was released in Japan called "The Stiff Sessions". Recorded in 1980 at Surrey Sound. I don't know if this was the city of Surrey (a suburb of Vancouver) that I live in, or a studio in the county down the road from you. Reformed early 2000s and still performing sporadically. WRT 1979 UK punk, check out "Crash Victim" by The Commited (sic) on Ace Records 1979. A track on an EP with 4-tracks. Ultra-rare and expensive. Reminds me of the sound on the first Saints LP. Its on RUclips.
Love your no. 1 Chris - one of my favourite punk songs. And my two favourite punk acts were represented - The Stranglers and The Damned! Interesting as always.
A real tonic for a nippy March afternoon. Once again Chris... you've justified why I'm now grey-I saw most of these bands live with added cheap cider! Grab a listen to 'Bloody' by The Golinski Brothers... or Lemington Spa punkers, The Shapes, 'What's For Lunch Mum'. Thank you so much. Ian.
wow, it's great seeing all those picture sleeves. Wonderful group of bands too. I think all three of the Undertones songs you named would have been excellent choices.
Some of those covers, you held up, I hadn't seen since '79. I also like Staircase Mystery, though I think the Scream was a good debut, in any case, from them. Certainly some great memories from that year, though I think the 'New Wave' thing was on the decline in '79, as you mentioned. But here's a few others: 1. Rowche Rumble-The Fall. I think 1979 was their finest year with their first two albums, though Live at the Witch trials was recorded in late '78, of course. I love Dragnet, as well. It's probably the best thing they did. imo. 2. Batman in the launderette-The Shapes. T 'What's for lunch (not beans again) was also on the EP. 3. Life Begins at Hop-XTC. I think I had that in clear vinyl. I suppose it's on the margins of punk but it's a good tune. 4. Police Oppression- Angelic Upstarts. Pretty good live band.5. Bird Song-.Lena Lovech. Not exactly punk but she had that ability to unsettle the listener shall we say.
This time i knew all the songs except for the Barracudas. I even knew the one with yellow cover, the band name didn't say anything, but did recognize the song title. I have three singles off this one. Must continue frome the previous ones; After watching your video on 1977 singles i found the Radiators From Space single which i told you. After watching the video for 1978 singles i found Adverts' Gary Gilmore's Eyes. So i now i'm wondering if i find one more. Wish me luck. Pasi
Another great list though my No.1 of '79 would have to be Zerox by Adam and the Ants., wonderful and totally original. Silly Thing was the best post Pistols by far to my ears, I still love it. Have them all barring the Pointed Sticks, one of my pals had it though , it's a good song.
Pleased to have all the vinyl 7"'s shown (except the Damned x4) but overjoyed to see a real fav of mine in the top 3!. I had always loved "I want my woody back Yeah Yeah" none of my friends ever liked it. How about the cabs Nag Nag Nag or the Boys next door Shivers. Excellent you gotta do 1980.
Tubeway didn’t seem to fit this list although I do like some. Never got on with the Fall. I find early Ants meh. The members were hilarious. Solitary confinement is one of my favourites but don’t own it on 45
@@TheVinylOrchard I knew I'd left someone out Joy Division . Everybody got different tastes can't please everybody but it's good of you to bring the songs and memories back . The world isn't flat it's Dayglow

Too bad you don’t continue into the 80’s. The UK produced some of the best punk ever in the early 80’s. Punk was no longer trendy but you could argue that made it more genuine.

Love the saints there Aussies and why a canadian band when you dont put american bands in there . Make your mind up either british bands or do a free for all. Wheres the rezillos ? (Scotland lol)
The greatest year in the history of music in my opinion......Oliver's Army & King Rocker would have made my top 20....Great choices, great video.
I was going to show Oliver’s Army but couldn’t find it. It’s somewhere!
I would have argued that too but then I checked my '79 playlist and there are very few post-punk songs there but for what it's worth I'd have considered, Boys Don't Cry, Language School, Up The Junction, Mourning Star, Oliver's Army, Rhythm Of Cruelty, You've Got To Pay and Chelsea Girl.
