I guess I could hit a European server behind my VPN to check out the vid, but it just ain't that deep.

On the other hand, I was listening to much different music in 1984. More along the lines of Sabbath, Zepplin, Hendrix, etc etc though MTV was playing some pretty "interesting" videos at the time so I got to see many different "looks" not unlike Human League.

Interesting times I must say.

To be honest, Our family never was into Jackson. In 1984 I was mostly listening to Tom Petty and Tom Waits. Just like any other year, really....

In 1984 very simple, the album from Prince - Purple Rain.
Or should I call him Prince the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince.

Anyway RIP, really loved your work.

From 1982 to 2015, it seems that "Thriller" was sold at 100 million of copies, including 30 million in the United States (20 million in the United States in 1984).

My pick for 1984:


INXS - Original Sin


Ultravox - Dancing with tears in my eyes


Queen - Radio Gaga

Probably still listening to The Jam and Secret Affair.
A healthy dollop of Northen Soul too.
