What's your favourite song of 1983? (Not Goldstone Rap)

[Hellingull]

The Safety Dance - Men Without Hats.

Was going to pick that but I'll go with The Alarm and 68Guns, they were brilliant live and they never sold themselves out.

One of the greatest musical years of all time.

I saw The Smiths gig around that time at Brighton Poly promoting that album. An unforgettable night.

A brilliant time for music for me as I loved synth pop, indie and dance music.

Saw Peter Murphy a couple of months ago supporting The Mission. He was in a prickly mood!

Good shout. I didn't mention that as I remember buying the 12" from Rounder Records in the summer of 1984. Still listen to that alot, spurred on by just reading his interesting autobio.

One of my favourites too. And he's a Worthing boy done good.

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

Aztec Camera - Oblivious.

Marvellous tune.
