1978:
1.
Pere Ubu -
The Modern Dance
Okay, this is my favorite album from 1978, probably by far. It's another fine example of the avant-garde mixed with pop music to a wonderful effect. Quite simply, this is some of the post perfect pop music I have ever heard, and certainly some of the most fun.
2.
Wire -
Chairs Missing
A great blend of the punkier style they used on Pink Flag and some of the more atmospheric sound that they'd explore on 154. Maybe their best, though 154 might just edge it out.
3.
The Residents -
Not Available
If you're a fan of experimental music, this might be
the album for you. It's nearly indescribable, and I don't want to strain my already poor summary/review skills.
4.
Brian Eno -
Ambient 1: Music for Airports
Probably Eno's ambient masterpiece, and a landmark recording. Absolutely beautiful music.
