Description
A richly packed snapshot of 1978’s musical landscape, this Various Artists CD collects nineteen of the year’s most memorable tracks across rock, disco, and pop. Warren Zevon’s swaggering ‘Werewolves Of London’ sits alongside Patti Smith Group’s urgent ‘Because The Night’ and Chic’s irresistible ‘Le Freak’, capturing a year when rock and disco existed in thrilling parallel. Foreigner appear twice with ‘Hot Blooded’ and ‘Double Vision’, while Steely Dan, Meat Loaf, Kansas, and Queen round out a lineup that reads like a definitive radio playlist of the era. An excellent single-disc introduction to one of the decade’s most eclectic and energetic years in popular music…
