It's right here at the end of the month and time for me to share my top picks of the year. These are from the year 1985. Like the last several months first it's my top picks of the year. The top twenty songs (according to me back then). It's from what I chose way back then. Looking back at it today, however, I don't think I would make any changes. Several of these could have been on my best album of the year choice, but they didn't quite make it.
