1983 Year in music...
My Top 5 Albums...
1983 isn't just another year in this series for me, it was also my Senior year in High School. So music had a little more significance as it played as a soundtrack to an important transition in my life. So this week let's breakout the discussion and go a couple different directions. First, lets talk about your favorites from 1983 and then what music was important to you during your Senior year of High School, regardless of the year. Here's 5 track that were important, prevalent and still hold a high place of value to me from my Senior year.

Stats:
I have one of these five albums (Bryan Adams on vinyl).
I might have Bent Out Of Shape, can't remember right now, can't check.
I have heard four of these five tracks (the B. Adams tune being the one I haven't heard).
Ranking for these five songs: Screaming In The Night>How Can I Refuse>Street Of Dreams>I'm Ready=Tender Is The Night.
I'm not a big fan of the first two tracks.
I now have interest in checking out the albums by Krokus and Heart, possibly Rainbow.
At least four of these tunes, in my opinion, were pure shots at radio hits. Basically pop music. But, back in 1983, pop music like this was totally cool. You could hear a guitar on every song. Something that is sorely missing in today's pop music. In 1983, pop music was cool.
I didn't get it until the late 80's, that's why it's not on my "back then" list. It's a very good album though.
