Cool songs from the year you were born

I'll start the proceedings

1977 ...



they only ever had the one hit. it was an answer record to another artist's track with the same riddim (I think). this one was recorded as a joke and John Peel played it on the radio by accident. Listeners phoned in to hear it again and it became a surprise hit in the UK

here they are live ('live') with a slightly different version

^ Classic jawn.

I didn't like much from 1987 as I looked through the albums released that year.

Some personal classics from my born date

Forgot this one

The awkward white dude playing keyboard in this video is Rod Temperton. FYI his songwriting credits are very impressive.
