The Time Machine pays a visit to 1979 this time. New artists like Rickie Lee Jones, Joe Jackson and the B-52s were emerging. English artists like the Clash and Elvis Costello had banner years. Boomtown Rats had an unlikely hit. Led Zeppelin released their final studio album, Chic were on the charts with “Good Times” ... and there were good times in Pittsburgh as Willie Stargell and the Pittsburgh Pirates won the World Series, and Terry Bradshaw and the Steelers won the Super Bowl.
"Risqué" is the third studio album by American disco band Chic, released on July 30, 1979. It includes the hit song, "Good Times."

'Look Sharp!' is the debut album by Joe Jackson, released in 1979. (Note: this image is from the CD release, which came out a few years later but the artwork on the 1979 release — minus the "Compact Disc" slug in the lower-left corner — is the same.)
