This is my all time favourite power pop song(i think it's 78 or 79):The Pop-Down on the Boulevard.

The year I became interested in music.
"My Sharona" - the Knack
"Let's Go" - the Cars
"Is She Really Going Out with Him?" - Joe Jackson
And since this is a Georgie thread, I'll give a shout out to David Naughton's "Makin' It" and John Stewart's "Gold". [:p]

there were some fine tunes from 1979:
The Atlantics - One Last Night
Comsat Angels - Red Planet
Cowboys International - Thrash
Joy Division - Novelty
The Monochrome Set - The Monochrome Set (I Presume)
and of course
Undertones - Teenage Kicks
just to name a few of the 7,542 great songs to be released that year.
but, I will succumb to the power of Georgie and go with either
McFadden & Whitehead - Ain't No Stopping Us Now
Raydio - You Can't Change That
It's too hard to pick just one of them.
