As we’re coming close to the end of the year, everyone seems to be obsessing about coming up with clever “best of 2009″ top list. And while doing that, they seem to forget that 1979 was also quite a good year to be around. Or so I’m told. Here’re my picks of what was hot 30 years ago (and still is).

Michael Jackson – Burn This Disco Out

Michael Jackson – Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)

Gino Soccio – Dancer (Youth’s Get Deep Re-Rub)

Final Edition – I Can Do It (Anyway You Want)

Azoto – Exalt, Exalt

Fabio Frizzi – Main Title (Godzilla Demo)

Blondie – Heart Of Glass

Shocking Blue – Love Buzz

Gary Numan – Cars

The Specials – Blank Expression
