spotify web being a poop when I need it most
My other two picks were ridiculously big tracks that probably wouldnāt have got many pointsā¦
I donāt do 80s, so bangers is all I have
no Gun Club is surprising because itās at the top of a lot of 1982 lists
Pretty sure Maneater was picked in the last round.
Forget Me Nots was another possibility, glad to see it made it on there still.
Just checked, never been played.
My backups were both picked - so expect some points from me.
Might have gone for Haircut One Hundred if my others werenāt available.
Surprised nobody went for this!!
Meant to check if that Hiroshi Yoshimura album came out in 1982, had an inkling that it did but couldnāt be bothered in the end.
we had a bit of a chat about this in https://community.drownedinsound.com/t/how-good-was-the-year-in-music-1982
thatās the rerecorded 1987 version (with True Faith drums and better singing) that we all know and love.
Was between 3 choices for this, Mission of Burma were already taken, and was also considering something by The Fall, but I was out and about all day yesterday so as soon as my choice was accepted I just went with it. Good song though.
I havenāt heard that Donna Summer song for years. Wonderful how she keeps you hanging on for the main hook.
Just finished my first sweep of the playlist and some absolute greats in this playlist. Iām also impressed that out of around 40 people there wasnāt a single person who went with the boringly obvious Africa.
Likewise with Haruomi Hosono. Discogs and udiscovermusic list Philharmony as a 1982 album, but Spotify has it down as 1978. Dunno which is correct and took me more effort to check that far than anyone else would likely have bothered with, so discarded it as an option.
Ah yes, a great cover that CJ track
Ha, I wanted to play something from that album as well but I felt the false date in Spotify would make me look like a phony. Everywhere else has the correct year of 1982 as release date.
