a gradual decline in standards, but next year might buck the trend! ;)

 

I think 1985 is a terrible year, 1984 and 1983 before it were somewhat better. To me, 1985 is the year of terrible Dad rock and pop, the sort of rubbish you find on those Drive compilations. Or is that just me? I've found a handful I like from the list but to add to that, my favorite track of 85 which you have missed out!
