10 - Eye of Tiger - I listened to music a lot in 80-82, and loads in 84 on, but not much in 83, I think because we'd just got a home computer. This was around a lot.
15 - Smiths / What Difference? - discovery of Smiths aged 14/15 genuine lifechanging event, I picked this track because I had an unrequited doomed crush (who didn't) and its petulance fitted.
20 - Pet Shop Boys / Can You Forgive Her? - loved (and still love) its smartness and popness. Theme of dishonesty to oneself always a winner. This year was mostly spent watching videos tho.
25 - Mercury Rev / Tonite It Shows - an odd and not-great time in my life, stuck at home, art-damaged Disney indie made a huge impression on me, also it reminds me more happily of first steps into Interweb mentalism.
30 - Crashed The Wedding - leaked 2 weeks before my wedding day, thanks lads.
Now - MIA/Paper Planes - see previous poptimists post.
