I listed The Dreaming by Kate Bush as an album I still listen to and it is not. I was thinking of Hounds of Love as the night before I had been working on my 1985 mix.

It's interesting that they both came out in 1982 -- it really underscores the point that the insiders all knew how great he was and that he was about to explode as soon as he put out another rock album.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-20460801404349633712022-04-18T13:13:02.958-04:002022-04-18T13:13:02.958-04:00I have listened to "The Lexicon of Love"...I have listened to "The Lexicon of Love" more than all the rest of the albums from 1982 put together.

If I went top 500 I would have to add In Transit by Saga, Emotions in Motion by Billy Squier, Straight Between the Eyes by Rainbow, Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood, Eagles Greatest Hits V 2 by The Eagles, Dawn Patrol by Night Ranger, La Variete by Weekend an album I still listen to today, and Vinyl Confessions by Kansas.Matthew Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10349035708120354682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-34732149065128828422022-04-18T12:32:33.889-04:002022-04-18T12:32:33.889-04:00Once owned and listened to from the top 500:
