Hmmm ... thanks for the listing, djjd. The charts are always full of crap, thats one thing that list shows ya! Still, even so, looking at that list ... perhaps I shoulda said 1982 after all...

i love sites that give lists of the top songs for various years, sometimes i know quite a few (rarely like, but know) and other years it's like, was i in a coma, i don't remember any of those tunes, this happens more as the 80's move towards the 90's and i stopped listening to most music on the radio, and started going through other avenues to find music i liked (indie record stores, non mainstream press, college or university radio, and eventually the net)
