Some of you say there wasn't any good music after the Beatles breakup.
This thread will be about that.
Have a listen.

Yes, I remember listening to them back in 1979.
1979 was the year when (top 40, pop) music changed. Known nothing like it since.

I looked into a number of bands I discovered listening to alternative radio FM. Usually I would hear an indepedent version of a single then sometime later the proper studio recording would come out. American releases were usually a bit different from the independent one, and not so sure it was an improvement.

The main song by The Records was one called Teenerama if I recall correctly, I probably heard the independent release before that.

Here is a list from memory of groups that fit into the 1979 category:
The Shoes (a song called Tomorrow Night)
The Feelies (Fa Ce La, long checkered career in the 80s after that)
The Romantics (only the first album of any note in Australia)
The B-52s (heard the independent release of Rock Lobster a long time before)
Bram Tchaikovsky
The Knack (more commercial than the others)
The Beat (maybe stretching to 1980)American group, recently bought them on CD, they add a person's name to the start now.

There was an Australian group called The Innocents, memory of that name gnaws at me.
