As we approach the end of this decade, I have compiled a Spotify playlist list of songs from 30 years ago that defined 1979, the end of the 70’s, arguably the last truly great & highly original year that pop music ever witnessed. Enjoy the distinctly British “Sound of 1979 - 100 songs that defined the end of a decade”. Use this to have a truly awesome NYE party :o)
