Well, what can I say about the great year that was 1982…………..
I was dreamin when I wrote this; forgive me if it goes astray. But when I woke up this morning I coulda sworn it was judgment day. I could have just put any old list of great songs together but, people always told me to be careful of what you do. And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts. And mother always told me be careful of who you love, and be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth. There are just so many great and different songs in 1982; it’s like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under. And I won't say it if you won't say it first. It's just the same, a stupid game. I have decided to use moonbeams ranking program to help me with this one and at this moment you mean everything. Oh the power and the passion. Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line.
My list is starting to come together and finally I've got one, two, three, four, five. Some great songs did not make my list. Well, I guess everything dies, baby, that's a fact. But it was Saturday night; I guess that makes it all right. And you say what have I got to lose? Sometimes I just couldn’t decide. I was like up, down, turn around. Please don't let me hit the ground. Sometimes I would need to just clear my head and I ran, I ran so far away. I just ran, I ran all night and day. I couldn't get away.
In the end I just had to learn to love my list. If they say, why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature. It’s the one thing. You are my thing. :D

Songs:

My favourite album of 1982 is Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, a bleak and unpolished album that many people find inaccessible. Personally, I fully embrace the album’s honest depiction of people going through a difficult time. These people/characters are simple, and I really don’t mean that in a patronising way. They are lost, full of regret and grief, and in search of salvation. And I haven’t heard another acoustic album that captures pain and a search for salvation so astonishingly.

Yet, when I compiled my Spotify playlist of favourite songs of 1982, I didn’t really know where to place my favourite tracks from Nebraska. The songs from that album seemed out of place next to the tremendous synth, funk and pop tunes. And oh boy, do I fucking love those tremendous synth, funk and pop tunes of the early 80s!! It’s a bright yellow period for songs...

I'm shocked nobody has "Don't Renege On Our Love" in their top 15. It will probably be my #2.
The best discovery of the month for me.

Henrik: Is "The Hurting" from 1982? I thought it was originally, but when I checked Rate Your Music, it has it listed as 1983. If it is from 1982, I'll have to change my albums list, because this would be my #2 album.

Can't stand the 80s for the most part but sadly this was the year I was born so I feel obliged to participate:(

1. Kate Bush- The Dreaming
2. Michael Jackson- Thriller
3. Roxy Music- Avalon
4. Siouxsie and the Banshees- Kiss in the Dream House
5. the Cocteau Twins- Garlands (This wasn't quite considered DREAMPOP at the time was it? More on the goth side if you ask me. So wouldn't this year mark the 30th anniversary of actual genre?)

This run is one of the greatest things that's ever happened in an AM poll. I'm pretty sure my ballot helped push at least "Hallowed," "Temptation," and "Hilly Fields" into the field.

I’d love to see write-ups for a lot of the Top 150 results in January, especially for the ones that I’m scratching my head over – sad to say, that includes the early ‘80s Cure albums. Except for a few songs, I don’t seem to like this period, and prefer when they sell out or what have you, and put some pop music into their arsenal. Really, I'd love to see a write-up for every single result -- just curious to see what people would say. (I could write something for the results that I feel somewhat responsible for :music-singing: )

Solid lists.

The only total headscratcher for me is the high placement and acclaim for Roxy´s Avalon. Oh well, the inclusion of Philip Glass, King Sunny Ade and Nick Nicely compensate for that.
