Quadrophenia The Who
1973.
I guess I should have said Quadrophenia (Soundtrack) was released in 79. Its a bit different than the 73 release.

Lene Lovich - "Lucky Number"
The album was Flex.
Lucky Number was one of the hits off the previous year´s Stateless.

I don't know if I can pick a "best". Some very influential albums of that year are as follows:
The Specials-The Specials
The Clash-London Calling
Gang of Four-Entertainment!
Joy Division-Unknown Pleasures
Buzzcocks-Singles Going Steady
The Cure-Three Imaginary Boys
Should I go on?
