Ok, as a preface, I recently changed jobs and as a result, I had a lot of gardening leave. I did a lot of small projects and reading but one of the things I have been doing is recording music and tagging my iTunes collection properly.
So now I have this amazing collection of tagged tunes and I set out to make some mix playlists and tapes of each year. 1978, great year for music. 1979, great year for music, 1981 is again another great year but 1980 appears to have been mostly terrible. I will admit that I wasn't born until 1984 but I have a collection of about a thousand (mostly vinyl) records and am a big 70s prog/rock fan
The question here is for BeoWorlders to pull their knowledge and suggest of any good tracks released in 1980. Was it really that bad? So far I have the Super Trouper album and the following 19 listenable releases:
You shook me all night long (ACDC)
Ashes to Ashes (David Bowie)
Back in Black (ACDC)
The Tide Is High (Blondie)
Call Me (Blondie)
All over the world (ELO)
I'm Alive (ELO)
Xanadu (ELO)
I Can't Stand up for Falling Down
Cocaine (Eric Clapton)
Que Sera Mi Vida (Gibson Bros)
Going Underground (Jam)
Baggy Trousers (Madness)
Ace of Spades (Motorhead)
DISCO (Ottawan)
De Do Do Do De Da Da Da (Police)
Flash Gorden (Queen)
Another One Bits the Dust (Queen)
Jump To The Beat (Stacey Lattislaw)
