THE GREATEST SONGS

MCMLXXXII

1982 was dominated by world events such as The Falklands War between Argentina and Great Britain; Michael Jackson released ‘Thriller’; Leonid Brezhnev died as did: Ingrid Bergman, Princess Grace (Kelly) and John Belushi; Prince William’s birth placed him second in line to inherit Queen Elizabeth II’s throne; “Cats” opened on Broadway. Cinemagoers turned the films ‘E.T.’ ‘Tootsie’ and ‘Gandhi’ into box office hits. Among the year’s new books were ‘Schindler’s List’ and ‘The Color Purple’. “Cheers” and “Family Ties” premiered on US television.

Here are 200 songs representing the best music released during that year.
