'79 was the year that the new music brewing in garages and dingy clubs for the previous few years began to break through. New Wave and Punk sprang up to spit in the eye of the corporate rock and disco that dominated popular music in the mid 70s and finally started to be heard on the radio that year. I'll be sharing some of my favorites as we go, but this video does a decent job of laying it all out, for a 20/20 segment. And there's good Northeast Ohio representation, too, featuring Devo. It's even hosted by Akron's own Hugh Downs...
