Number of the Beast was my second or even 1b

I had no idea what songs came out in 1982, but what a year for music.

I'll go with Jack and Diane.  It's more poignant now than ever.

This is tough, my favorite band Van Halen released they're worst album in 1982 - Diver Down---not one track off that album in going to be my favorite 40 year old song.  So just by going from the top 100 list - I'll take..

Going from the top 100 list of albums this was easy for me,a great song from one of my top 10 bands ever.

 

 

[jerryskids 5,206]

Wow, that's a great list.  Edge of Seventeen is #100, that's a great song!   

My first instinct was Rosanna, but then I saw a song I've often pimped here as one of my favorite "Dad" songs.

 He looked like the lezbo bull dyke chick that wore a chain and with a wallet on it when I worked at Piggly Wiggly as a twelve year old stock boy , that wanted to analy violate me on thanksgiving day in the parking lot after I explained to IT that we were out of canned heat and maxi pads.
