Well, there you have it! To be honest I cant remember half of them, this was my greasy biker era and would have been more into Motorhead than Motown! I must confess though I did have a soft spot for Sheena Easton after watching her on The Big Time ( a programme where they took her from obscurity and followed her path to getting a record contract with EMI), so remember Morning Train (Nine To Five). Didn't like it, but remember it!

Another 9 to 5 to make an impression on an eighteen year old was the song by Dolly Parton, well to tell the truth not the song so much but I seem to remember something else standing out??!!
Physical - Olivia Newton-John! How could that not leave an impression? That lovely little Aussie girl who used to feature a lot in the 'Cliff Richard Show' (don't start me on Cliff!) years before now dancing around in a skimpy leotard all sweaty!
Blondie had two number ones that year! Tide Is High was OK I guess but Rapture (was number 1 over my birthday) was that fucking weird song where she tried rapping about eating cars and planets and shit! Wasn't it?
Sorry, I might be slating someone favourites here but what the hell? This is all about me after all!!
So, out of all of them none of them jump out at me with any relevance to me being 18. If I had to pick a favourite; Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes. No particular reason just liked the tune.

I remember my mother had Angela Rippons fitness record which had Olivia Newton-Pongs Physical on it.
Umm lots of women on your selection, and no men. Freud would have something to say about that!
obviously don't know what though cause i'm not Freud.
But Olivia Neutron Bomb yuck too sweet for words even for a testorone led 18 year old.
