Seems like I'm the only person who has spelt Dexys Midnight Runners correctly so far! 
No, there isn't. But no worries, I have edited them all! 
Who's Dexy, anyway? 
Oh, that Dexy, thanks Mitchell.
Neo, is submitting songs as well as albums required? I now realise I have all of February to catch up ... 
Nope, you can do either songs or albums. Or both. Or none at all.
and can we submit lists with albums AND songs ?
I said "Or both.", right? 
Preferably both of course!
plus: an exclusive childhood bonus track: John Williams/London Symphony Orchestra: Yoda's Theme (OST)...
17 euro or 13 pounds actually.
Quite alright. Can I input it now or do you have more changes coming?
Does that mean the list will be updated again in the near future BillAdama? The lazy bastard in me doesn't want to do it three times.
Wow, what a year!! There were a lot of new bands recording awesome works (particularly the “Hitsville UK” was working with full force) but some stars of the 70s were still producing fantastic albums (like Bowie, Gabriel or Springsteen). And in Spain it was the beginning of the “Movida Madrileña” that supposed a golden age for Spanish music, represented in my list by songs from Paraíso, Alaska y los Pegamoides, Nacha Pop or Los Secretos.
It was also a year that I lived with intensity (I was 15 years old then), but oddly some of my favourites then hadn’t stood well the test of time (“The Game”, “McCartney II”, “Emotional Rescue” or “Zenyatta Mondatta”) while many records that didn’t hear at the time became favourites within a few years (“Dirty Mind” or “Boy” for instance).
I could add, seeing the album covers of the year, that 1980 was the black & white year. Don’t believe me? Just see this:

New try for the photos:
Honorio, you have linked to the I: drive on your computer. We don't have access to that.
You need to upload the images to the web and link to the places where you have put them.
"Honorio, you have linked to the I: drive on your computer. We don't have access to that. "
I do now.
Just kidding! I guess that's not that funny to joke about these days.
Hope it works now...
