Just for you Puncher - "Just Supposing" Status Quo's 1980 offering.

Happy now?👍

How dare you sir!😭  (slaps across face with virtual glove)!!

I've had a quick glance at 1980 just to remind me how awful it was - best single of the year, "Love will Tear us Apart", Joy Division - best No.1 single "Going Underground" The Jam.

Biggest crime against music in 1980 was "Bucket of Water Song", The Four Bucketeers, although it does contain the immortal line from (every young boys dream at the time) Sally James.............."whatever the case, we take it in the face"!😂

Talking 'bout 1980, don't forget these:

Fern Kinney: Together We are beautiful

Nick Straker Band: A walk in the park

Leo Sayer: More than I can say

Hot Chocolate: No doubt about it

😉 Shades of ZZ Tops' "Pearl Necklace"!!!!!👍

O. K., what about these:

- The Breaks from Kurtis Blow

- The Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers

- Don't you want me performed by Human League

- Sweet Dreams (are made of this) from Eurythmics

I don't think that 1980 was a bad year for good music, have a look at the above and previous posts.

Unfortunately, my favorite, favorite, favorite album of that time was released in 1977 "Bat out of hell" from Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman together with Ellen Foley, so it would be incorrect to mention it in this thread .........
