Top 29 Music Albums of 1981 by 
Listmeister 
As I wander around this wreck of a town, where people never speak aloud, with its ivory towers and its plastic flowers, I wish I was back in 1981. Just to see your face instead of this place, now I know what you mean to me. And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this the way life's meant to be?
