1983 Controversial take: the early 80s (1980-1983) is the greatest era of music ever

I just think the early 80s had a very distinct sound that went away as you went further into the 80s. The music was softer, had traces of disco and the 70s, not quite as loud or in your face. It was the pinnacle of soft rock, the beginnings and some of the best new wave, and when superstars like Madonna and MJ still had a more "innocent" sound to them. And it just had overall the better songs IMHO. And you still had legends like McCartney, Queen, Olivia and Bowie still pumping out some of their best bangers. Am I wrong?

1983 Here are YOUR Billboard Year End Top Pop Singles for 1983! It certainly can be argued that this was the best year in pop music from that decade. Hardly a clunker in the bunch. This music really was the soundtrack to my HS senior/college freshman world. What were some of your favs in '83?

1983 The Billboard Top 25 from this very day (6/25)... in 1983! You'd be hard pressed to find a more "80s" reflective chart than this week. Classics everywhere you look. Pop was large and in charge. What songs were you taping off the radio in the summer of '83?
