I'd have a rethink there! Oh, it was inevitable.

I'd have a rethink there! In response to the earlier pick. I love 'The Name of the Game'. In fact it was the very first single I bought when I was 12 and still gives me a bit of a Proustian rush.

1977 entries seem to have dried up, I thought we'd have a few more. Time then to open up 1978, another great year (they'll all be great until we get to 1983).

There are obviously lots of candidates for me and not just from punk or new wave, it was also a great year for, whisper it, soft rock and disco. Siousie and The Banshees - Hong Kong Garden Still I have gone for a punk track and one that I've always come back to. John McKay tends to be a bit underrated next to other post-punk guitarists like Keith Levene or John McGeogh, probably because his stint in the Banshees was relatively short and he did very little afterwards. But he came up with a great guitar sound, like waves of sheet metal (..I better stop there before I get into 'sonic cathedrals'.). The instrumental climax of this record is still as exciting as anything out there for me.

I think it's possibly because we're rushing things a bit. We were going along at one year at week, then I started 1976 a couple of days earlier than scheduled, and now, nine days later we've burned through two more years. Those who've already sorted things out for a few years ahead can respond immediately, but some of us needed a bit more thinking time. Can we slow it down a bit, please?, not do 1979 for at least ten days.

G's links all work for me. There's a chance that Americans are actively being protected from the corrupting influence of PiL and Siouxsie.

I figured it was Hong Kong Garden, but it's probably for the best that I confirmed it.

1978
The beginnings of post-punk, along with maybe Siouxsie and Wire... Has to be the single version though, those couple of power chords before the riff comes in and the more compact production places it above the album version for me..

The whole punk diktat of 'no guitar solos' sounded pretty anaemic when you heard something as exciting as that McGeogh solo.
