And Finally Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jr. just because it is so 1984, and I loved the film

There is no point in writing much following the encyclopaedic intro to the year, so let me just add a couple more: Elvis Presley and America - U2 From the last U2 album I liked. Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads Crazy good song

Let me chip in with my old favourites Marillion. A grand album Fugazi, here is the title song: Fugazi - Marillion

Number 4, since this is simply missing Uptown Girl - Billy Joel

Number 3, now that I found the playlist Burning down the house - Talking Heads

Let me add a second nomination Going Home: Theme of the Local Hero - Mark Knopfler Just because it is beautiful.

Do you use a text copy from last year?

Ha, I am an engineer.

1983 was the year where I encountered the so called Neoprog Rock. Specifically Marillion released their debut Album Script for a Jester's Tear. This group and in particular lead singer Fish became very, very important to me. I still know many of their lyrics by heart. I know they released an EP...

Uwe just won his first game in charge of Bochum. 3-2 at home against Hertha Berlin. Very close game.

I have no picks left but a 1982 playlist about the evolution of rock must in my humble option have a tune from Thriller, Michael Jackson. I am not a fan, guy was nuts and a nonce, but this is the best selling record of all time. We have to acknowledge that. Can somebody please nominate something?

Honourable mention to the complete album All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes by Pete Townsend. I think it is great and like every single tune!

Let me chip in with 4 very different tunes. Les Concerts en Chine was the first LP I ever bought in my life. In 1982 I was 14. Until today it is one of my all time favourites. Have to nominate one from there, sorry. Here goes nothing: Five Miles Out - Mike Oldfield O Superman - Laurie Anderson...

Very injury prone

Very depressing. The Internet certainly brings out the worst in many people. It shows how evil, amoral or stupid many people are. I assume they were the same before, but still it is sad.

I would like to nominate one more. The Genius, Le Roi, Jean Michel Jarre released Magnetic Fields in 1981. I only bought it a couple of years later as I got my first turntable in 1982. To me JMJ is one of the greatest musicians ever. He invented everything, built his own instruments, made music...

I think you could pick almost every song. 21st Century Man reflects my melancholia during that time. I lost my father suddenly at end of 1980, and it took me several years to overcome this. I was 13 when it happened, had to grow up instantaneously and struggled with this until I left home to...

Right, I have difficulties with 1981, but it was the year of one of my all time favourite albums, Time by ELO. Heard it to death a few years later when I started at University. It still is in my all time top 10. I nominate: 21st Century Man - ELO Many years later I got to know of Jon and...

I don't think there is a point, why would there be. You live for no reason. Unless you make a reason.

Let me chip in with 2 very different songs: What you're proposing - Status Quo Xanadu - Olivia Newton-John and ELO Also, I am no expert, but shouldn't somebody nominate something with Judas Priest?
