45 of 80
JMB:
Not many top 40 songs.

I have to agree with 1984 and Back In Black -- GREAT albums. I was a big VH, AC/DC fan in the 80's (and still am), but my choice were songs that whenever I hear them remind me of being on holiday with my parents, and spending my days in arcades.
Maybe the question should have been, what were the songs of your youth (for those who were not teenagers in the 80's).
Great list though. I think I may dust off some of those LP's in the attic! :cheers:

I think pretty much any 45 from the 80's was played on my turntable throughout that decade. Some Duran Duran, some Van Halen, some Culture Club some Adam & the Ants (aka Adam Ant). Most of my collection was Top 40 back in the 80's. As for full length albums, I remember playing Huey Lewis' "Sports" a lot as well as Prince's "Purple Rain", but for some reason, my collection was mostly 7" singles.
By the late 80's/early 90's, my musical horizon was broadened and I discovered life outside the Top 40. I was blasting a lot of Replacements and XTC. Then I went through that "Rush phase" and the house got it's fill of "Permanent Waves" and "Moving Pictures".
I still have all the vinyl from my childhood - as well as the numerous 45s I've picked up over the years, stored in plastic bags ready to entertain whenever I feel the urge. Pulling a black vinyl disc out of a picture sleeve and listening to the faint vibrations and crackle as you pop the needle down is definitely something you can't replicate with MP3s.
EDIT: Forgot to ask Ratzz - Why did you cross off "Physical" by ONJ? If the charts are any indication, we were all pretty much blasting her records in the early 80's. ;)

Ahem .... not sure that all of us would be happy to admit to it -- maybe some of the Grease hits, but ONJ? Hmmmm ... :cheers:

Nice to see Milo on someone's playlist. On heavy rotation, much to my parents' chagrin, in 1981/1982.
Still have both and both are still regulars on the turntable. My son loves Swan Lake/Death Disco...
