thanks again for the show of confidence by the way, as you can tell by

ur high rating of black celebration, this has been a frequent “go to”
album. thank you

Great 80s chart! Good to see so much Duran Duran and Depeche Mode. And Sports by Huey Lewis. Have you heard Fore! by them too? Some classic albums here.
