S1E1 - 1979 (The beginning of EVERYTHING)

Hi! How are you? Good? Me too. Welcome to the first year of my music listening journey - 1979! In today's episode, I will be officially kicking this thing off and getting excited about how little I know about music as of this moment in my musical time traveling extravaganza. Curious why I started in 1979, when there was so much great music beforehand? I guess you'll have to listen and find out! As always, I'll also walk through my interpretations of trends moving in, moving out, and rooting themselves in this year; my essential albums and why; and albums conspicuously left off my essential list and why. Come get passionate about all my biased opinions! Check out my Essential List for this year here! Check out the full list that I kept for this year here!
