The Time Machine pays a visit to 1979 this time. New bands emerged like the Pretenders and the Knack. It was a huge year in classic-rock circles with Pink Floyd issuing The Wall, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers dropped Damn The Torpedoes, and Led Zeppelin released what would be their last official studio album. Chic had a disco hit, and the Sugar Hill Gang borrowed it for rap's first hit single. It's all 1979, our year on this episode of Time Machine.
