thanks again for the show of confidence by the way, as you can tell by
my charts, depeche has always been one of my favs, but because of
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.
