[You could argue there were a lot of good years for music and I wouldn’t disagree]

The Union Tribune had a article about albums that are turning 40 years old this year. There were a couple of them that I was familiar with and some that I wasn’t but let’s talk about the ones that I WAS familiar with:

1999,Prince
(A classic.I miss Prince. His music was …*chef’s kiss*)

Thriller, Michael Jackson
(What can you say that hasn’t been said a zillion times.)

Also released this year(because I was curious and did some research):

Combat Rock,The Clash

The Night Fly, Donald Fagen
(Always reminds me of riding around Rome in a taxi(a lot more recently than 1982).Good times.)

Rio, Duran Duran
(This was my gateway to Duran Duran.A friend of my brother’s loaned him a bunch of albums and this was one of them. My brother wasn’t that much of a fan but he couldn’t have known that he was going to hear that album(and Duran Duran’s subsequent albums) a LOT. For a few years there Duran Duran were my LIFE.)
