Genesis – Turn It On Again

Genesis' first hit of the 80s and also their first without Peter Gabriel. And it was good.. very good indeed, with Phil Collins as lead singer. Yes, it's another one of my all time favourites!

Pink Floyd – The Wall

1 January 1980 and the UK's first number one of the decade is an all time classic and a personal top 10 favourite of mine - Pink Floyd's The Wall. It was actually also the 1979 Christmas number one, beating Paul McCartney to the top spot. A great way to kick o...
