Top 31 Music Albums of 1983 by lancashirearab

1983 was a strange year. My football team were champions and I spent more money and time on them than music. This probably had an impact on the previous year as well. I am sure I might have missed out on some great music. This is what I did get.

The Go-betweens were such a great band. There's lightning on the hill tonight and then the organ stutters in. His Father's watch, he left it in the showers. [First added to this chart: 05/14/2012]

I saw the video for In The Neighbourhood on TV and went out and bought my first Tom Waits album the next day. I now have many other albums by Tom Waits, but this is still my favourite. [First added to this chart: 05/14/2012]

This is another great Bunnymen album with a nother great sleeve. I am particularly fond of this one as this is the music they were touring with when I saw them for the first time. [First added to this chart: 05/14/2012]

This album has such great emotion. I can remember with my mates driving to Forfar for a night out with this on the car stereo. All four of us were singing along to the songs. We had to stop in a lay by just so we could get out and dance in the road as the music was blasting out of the open doors! [First added to this chart: 05/14/2012]
