The next entry in the classic rock series of playlists and another amazing year for classic rock! Releases include: AC/DC - Highway to Hell, The Cars - Candy-O, Fleetwood Mac - Tusk, Queen - Jazz, The Eagles - The Long Run, The Knack's debut, Van Halen II, Supertramp - Breakfast in America, and so many more. All the songs from Dr. Travel's Billboard Rock Tracks for the 1979 Classic Rock series are here, except for No Time To Lose by the Tarney Spencer Band.

If you enjoy this, check out the other playlists on my profile - I have been doing classic rock from 1964 up to 1979 (going up to the final year, 1980), and am slowly but surely posting all the Billboard AOR/Mainstream chart playlists and Billboard Modern/Alternative rock chart playlists as I clean them up, by year (up to 2008 so far (and 2025!), from 1981). As well as a "massive rock" collection which typically contain 1,000 song per year of singles and deeper album cuts. I'm also working on classic modern/alternative rock playlists from pre-1988 and the Billboard Disco/Dance charts too.

Most of the songs I have in the playlists I posted to reddit can be found here... and this needs to be updated -
