And this is quite possibly the greatest pop single ever written in the history of music.
Aztec Camera - Oblivious.

And then there was Billy...how effing good is this song? Genius. (Single released in 84 but the album was 83 and I had the album).

Mind you, The Belle Stars 'Sign of The Times' was released in 83. I'm changing my vote to this one. It's a classic.
