1982 . .. pffff I was born in '71. ( a good year musically )
My parents were in their 20's in the 70's and had/have good taste in music , It was all sorts and all good, until I found my own in Madness etc around 1980 . . . For me 78-82 is a golden period . . . . It all went shit after that, for various reasons. The 80's was crap! The shit started in 82.

You became a grumpy old man aged eleven?
I think that may be a record
Anyway....whatever. I hope the rest of your life perked up with the advent of puberty . . . qualifications, career, property ladder, relationships.... I'm genuinely dumbfounded, to be fair

@HWT 1982 (and the years around it) was the musical peak for me - countless pop, dance and synthwave gems, still adored now.
First thoughts:
In love with these songs for 40 years.

That's pure joy
My mind is a thing of its own but that was the sound of optimism to me at the time.

If you're going with Wall of Voodoo, you might as well go with their banger - also 1982.
1987 Up until that point I would listen to songs on the radio or my friends would tape me the albums they had (I know not legal) but I was poor and could not afford to buy albums. So it was mainly pop Madonna, Curiosity kill the cat and bros. Until one day I was sitting in the cafe at Brighton college of technology and they were playing the “Invisible Touch” album and the last track “The Brazilian” was playing. I had never heard anything like it. Went out and bought the album at woolies in London Road and have been a Genesis fan ever since discovering all their albums back to the beginning. Saw them the for the Fifth and last time last night at the O2. I love lots of different music but Genesis will always be the special band that showed me that music can have more then three cords, be interesting and still enjoyable.

Sorry Harry. Unable to post links but Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen is a career highlight.
Home recorded, brilliant songs, acoustic and no saxephone solos!!!

And the very best of prog rock, upscaled, was still alive. FFS.
