Second Time Around, (or am I all mixed up?)

Thanks!
I really can't keep track, I had so many favorites.
I also liked "Chase Me" by Con Funk Shun (?) on edit: 1979?

[Not_Giving_Up]

9. I was ten....that was a long time ago...

I lived at the skating rink...Joan Jett for sure, was Pac man Fever out yet, or was that a little later? (I spent a lot of time skating in circles, the years are blurred together)

[The Great Escape]

Now I might say The Blue Mask.

[CO Liberal]

18. Anything But Charlene's "I've Never Been to Me"

:puke:

[Duncan Grant]

19. "Love My Way" - Psychedelic Furs

It sounded so fresh in 1982 and it's still a sentimental favorite.

[Cornjob]

22. Gotta second that choice!

Still sounds good 23 years later.

[MisterP]

31. don't cry, don't do anything

[u4ic]

21. Rock the Casbah

At the time, it was definitely "Nova Heart" by the Spoons, a Canadian band.

[Norbert]

23. Someday Someway - Marshall Crenshaw

[flamingyouth]

26. Good choice

:thumbsup:

[Squeech]

24. XTC's English Settlement came out that year

The big hit off that record was "Senses Working Overtime," but there were a bunch of great songs on that record: "Ball and Chain," "No Thugs in Our House," "It's Nearly Africa"...

Also released in 1982 was Thomas Dolby's Golden Age of Wireless, and I've always loved "One of Our Submarines." In fact I got that record on CD last year and have been playing it obsessively lately.
