Well I was 18 in 1982 so can I count the year leading up to it as well?? scince that was when I graduated high school and moved on the college these are from 1981

March 7 - March 20: I Love A Rainy Night Eddie Rabbitt

This song reminds me of my friend Sylvia and a friend of hers too, who drove a truck over the road -and was a good looking guy. The line about the windsheild wipers always brings them to mind.

March 21 - March 27: Keep On Loving You - REO Speedwagon

REO - helped me through college. there are very few songs that they have that I don't know so when ever I hear them it brings back great times at Linfeild for me.

August 1 - August 14: Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield

oh who didn't love Noah Drake on General Hospital. and Rick is back these days making me nostalgic for the simpler life and times. My mom has been a gh fan for as long as I can remember. So this is associated with her for me.

October 17 - November 6: Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) - Christopher Cross

Chris Cross - where did he go?? he had one or two albums and did some songs that I really liked, so I picked this one cause " sailing " didn't make it on the list!!! maybe i need to go find some of his stuff for my shuffle list.

and from 1982
March 20 - May 7: I Love Rock n' Roll - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

What can I say this is as good of an anthem today as it was 25 years ago! I loved her kick ass attitude in this song, as well as bad reputation.
