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.
The 1/16
The 8/9
The 5/12
The 4/13
The 6/11
The 3/14
The 7/10
The 2/15
I let my wife vote this one for me
MTV playing music videos ... I was so much younger then.
Ugh.. Flock of A$$holes.. more hate there!
Wow, Blister in the Sun came out 35 years ago. Time flies!
More votes = More fun.
But Gawd, some of those old videos are painful to watch! Not the songs but the sheer cheesiness of the vids! "Hungry Like A Wolf" may be the worst offender.
at the time, though, they were groundbreaking in that they weren't just a band playing live, but more like a movie trailer, or mini-narrative

Yeah, it seemed pretty cool 35 years ago.

2 plus 10 is more like it.

Nooooooooooooope.
While I generally love 80s music for its campiness and cheesiness, and though I've heard every one of them probably 10,000 times each,
Come On Eileen is one I can live the rest of my life without ever hearing again. It annoys me for some reason.

I'll always equate that song with
Grosse Pointe Blank.

Bah! Yer taste is all in yer mouth.
Were I was at this time the chicks loved dancing to Come On Eileen... so good memories on many levels. ;)
I still listen to the Great White North comedy album, so what the hell do I know? :)
And Canadian chicks will dance to anything, even Buggles, or sticks on a trash can, so your point isn't clear. :P

Not a bad thing at all.
I didn't really appreciate that movie until a few years ago when I finally watched it all the way through. Admittedly I tried many years ago and just couldn't watch it. But now, I love that movie.
It's one of my all-time favorite flicks. Great cast, great soundtrack.

1982 was about the peak of the Indiana Jones franchise.

There are some who would claim it was my peak as well, but I don't tend to agree :coolsmiley:
You've not even reached your peak yet, Steelie.
....I got to mine and now I'm sliding down the reverse slope.
A tough ol' bird like you, Bawb? Hell no! You're simply wise enough to rest before tackling the next big peak, my brother!
...another big peak?......................oh, sh*t.
..I hope y'all noticed my use of the term 'reverse slope' there. Are we not wargamers or what!
