Martin's 100 Favorite Albums of 1983

A month or so ago, I gave you all a Christmas present which was my ranking of my 100 favorite albums from 1982 (click here for that post).

Seeing as today is my birthday, I thought I would give you all an extra post - my 100 favorite albums from 1983. 1983 is one of my favorite years for music, as evidenced by the nearly 1800 songs on my iPod from that year alone.

Limahl - 1983 (EP)

This week saw the single and EP release of 1983 by Kajagoogoo lead singer Limahl. Working with Tommy Olsen and writer/producer team Rune Maurtvedt and Stig Erik Antonsen, he has crafted a highly danceable track that has both a modern sound and a touch of nostalgia too. It can easily appeal to a new audience of youth today and those forty-something folks like myself who are parents of said teens and young adults. It is a song that can bring generations together.
