1982

Ah, what a year! This year was sooooo cool - so much great
music was created in these short 12 months, that it almost
single-handedly dictated what I would listen to from here on out.
Debuts from Thomas Dolby, Asia, Marshall Crenshaw;
commercial breakthroughs for Cheap Trick & Paul
McCartney
. . . a standout year all the way around!
