As We Were In '82
Comment:
Basicly most of the songs here were hits in 1982. Also included is Madonna's first single, as well as a Cher single released that year...it wasn't a hit, but it does serve as a forunners to the string of hits she had in the late 80s and early 90s. And to wrap the CD up I've included "1982" by Miss Kittin and the Hacker (actually recorded and released in 2001) because it fits into the theme so well. (A lyric from that song also serves as the inspiration to the title of this compilation.)BTW I would have included more songs but I ran out of CD space. It looks like I might have to make a second volume to shed some more light what was happening that year.
Feedback:
I wonder how I got through that year.Only jesting.I was working in a record shop in 82 and Toni Basil came in to help plug her new single,Nobody.Unfortunately she wasn't wearing her cheerleader outfit which may have been why the single flopped.
Pretty scary. Seems to pretty well summarize the hits (and goes a long way towards explaining why around this time I was avoiding the hits and broadening my indie rock horizons). A couple of these I could probably listen to today without any serious pain (i.e. Human League, Yaz, Seagulls), but most, after the initial shudder of recognition, would have me pulling out my hair.
