(Finished April 19th, 2025) Part 2 of The Best Songs of 1982 to 1985

Hello,

Last week I received an e-mail from a classmate from the high school from where we graduated. This summer will be our 40th anniversary from high school. I thought it was a very rude e-mail as there's no way that I graduated from high school 40 years ago. That and hearing Echo and the Bunnymen "Bring On The Dancing Horses" inspired this blog. These are the best songs from 1982 to 1986, all genres. These were four years were some of the greatest years in the history of the music. 

Here are some of the best CDs from this timeframe, just a sample. 1) Prince "Purple Rain" 2) Michael Jackson "Thriller" 3) Duran Duran "Rio" 4) Styx "Kilroy Was Here" 5) "Flashdance" Soundtrack 6) Huey Lewis and The News "Sports" 7) Billy Idol "Rebel Yell" 8) Alabama "Mountain Music" 9) INXS "Listen Like Thieves" and 10) "Footloose" Soundtrack.
