leigh white Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Ha ha, 79/80 was our down fall being a wanderer's fan, but at least we had a good back drop in the music at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COYW Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Great year '79 imo, post punk,disco,ska, and all the other shitey stuff. A golden era. More singles were sold in '79 than any other year in the history of the record industry... and we still couldn't get rid of Cliff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
