13. Judging by their hair, and instruments, it was made in 1985. Maaaaybe 1984. And BTW,
the Pointer Sisters were far, far better than a group whose name praises an illegal drug... :D

23. Sadly
Kirsty MacColl passed away. She wrote and performed with Tracey Ullman, The Pogues and The Talking Heads.

I love her voice. It's timeless.

25. Empty Glass.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K04LkXsDaTU

Pete Townshend - Empty Glass (a great song and a great album). For some reason I played this vinyl once or twice a day for about two years to get my head on straight. I have no idea why.

With Simon Townshend on guitar and Zak Starkey on drums.

27. I think this sums up the 80's thinking best:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JuHIRrt5lCI


This century, we'd change the lyrics to "I've got no brains, but I've got the looks...let's make lots of money"
