Yesterday the single songs, today the albums that I picked in 1982. I'm not sure if they would all be the same choices if I was picking them today, but this is what I picked back then. Like usual, all albums I owned (still own) and listened to and played a lot. It's my top ten albums and the top songs from them for the first ten choices. I rounded it out with my second choice of each album for the second ten. alooking back, some are hits and some didn't go anywhere on the charts, but that's what I thought was good then. As representative, I include the cover of Scorpions on this post, but all the covers are available to you. Not as good as the Love Drive cover, but interesting enough.
