For being patient forumites, I have decided to reward you with not one, but two Brackets for 1982. The first is pretty much mainstream. The second is what I would call, "The MTV Bracket." I remember each and every one of those videos from having my face plastered to that channel 24/7 for several years. I hope you enjoy voting in them as much as I enjoyed putting them together. And FYI, the winners of each 1982 Bracket will face off against the other to decide the winner for that year.
I have finally run into one of the "I am not putting my work on YouTube,' artists. And it's a shame. Prince is just awesome. And I believe I recently heard that his heirs will be putting his music on streaming services. I think Spotify has a bunch right now. Hendrix is the other prominent musician I know that doesn't have his work on YouTube. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
In spite of that, I think we have some really solid contenders in this go round: The Clash, Queen, The Who and maybe a surprise or two lurking in the shadows. Maybe Billy Squier, or Duran Duran. Rush, perhaps. But as always, thank you for voting and enjoy :)
The 1/16
1 I don't have a 'Spill some on the floor,' or a, 'mic drop,' emoji, but, that's what should go here.
The 8/9
The 5/12

I corrected one of my wife's picks, but otherwise, I registered her votes.
We used to go see Santana every time he came to town in the early 80's. But we always stayed out in the parking lot and partied a little longer so that we did NOT have to see the backup band. Lol, I voted against the backup band, the hatred is still there!
Who was opening for him then? Huey Lewis?
His "backup band" from the classic Santana days – Neil Schon, Gregg Rollie – were the core of what later became Journey

From the parking lot, when we heard " Two tickets to paradise", we knew it was ok to head in, since that was usually the encore.
