Throwback Thursday: 1980

So this one was tough because we're into the pre-MTV era (I suppose we were last week, too, but not entirely) and the guy is kind of an old-school kind of guy, but I think I did ok.

This is the album that knocked The Wall off the top position after it had been there for 15 weeks and then it kept it off for the 6 weeks it took Billy Joel to get in there and take over with Glass Houses. So  that's a pretty tremendous feat.

Tracklist:

Side One:
1. The Horizontal Bop
2. You'll Accomp'ny Me
3. Her Strut
4. No Man's Land
5. Long Twin Silver Line

Side Two:
6. Against the Wind

7. Good For Me
8. Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight
9. Fire Lake
10. Shinin' Brightly
