Where To Watch
PICK: Which albums would you buy in 1983?
Are you "Burning Down the House" or are you on the side of the Police?
The good news is that plenty of classic records are being released. The bad news is that you only have the allowance to purchase one record per month.
Below you will find some of the best-selling and critically adored albums from that year. These albums spawned hit singles and continue to rack up acclaim and sales 40 years later.
Pick the one album you would most want to hear. And see how your tastes compare to others. Have fun!

I WISH it could be 1983.

34 % similar, so nothing has changed. I didn't like the same pop schlop as anyone then or now.
69% similar. Which is appropriate, seeing as how I did a lot of that in 1983.
I actually owned every one of the albums I selected here on cassette, which was kind of the thing in 1983.

Being the Metalhead that I am, I really didn't expect the mainstream to agree with my choices
FOR THE RECORD (no pun intended), FOR 1983 THE AC/DC album is ned **FLICK** of the Switch, NOT "FLIP THE SWITCH". If you're doing a "poll" or quizzing us like this, then get your facts and the names correct.

Exactly. I mean, you got the cover image. The title is clearly on it. How could you fail?
Horrible choices! So many I wouldn't buy at all
Every month was pretty easy to choose, except for July (don't like any of them) and October (I love ALL of them).
