1982

I love music from everywhere in the space-time-genre continuum. I think 2019 has produced amazing music, as did 1966. Still, of all the years I have experienced music, I believe 1982 was the best year ever. So many eternal albums came out that year, from Laurie Anderson's Big Science to ABC's The Lexicon of Love (yes, Michael Jackson dropped Thriller and Prince dropped 1999 that year as well, and even Roxy Music came back from Avalon). Maybe it was a year I especially came alive to music, or maybe it was the wind that blew from the UK, or that Blade Runner came out that year as well, I don't know. But 1982 was vintage, as shown by how many of its songs keep getting covered. Anyway, here is a playlist with 6090 tracks from 1982*. There could easily be another 60 90 or 600 even 1982 (if I had the time to curate). But here are my 60 90. Enjoy and party like it's 1999 in 1982.


* Yes, a couple of the tracks are from albums that came out in 1981, but all at the very end of 1981, and so were really hits in 1982.
