31 March 2017: it's... Happy Birthday, Soundwaves!

[RGMike]

Ten great songs from the year Soundwaves first came into existence... which is either '82 or '83, based on the songs selected.

[urth]

'83 it is, and mostly usual suspects (Dexy's, Missing P's, the less-popular of the Kommisars, Thompson Twins, etc) and a few rarities (a not oft heard or missed Benatar song, something called "Whirly Girl" and Phil C. recycles In The Air Tonight with an ABBA escapee).
