Mijn top 20 in willekeurige volgorde:

Abc - That was then but this is now(1983)
Assembly - Never never (1983)
Bananarama - Cruel summer (1983)
Carly Simon - You know what to do (1983)
Depeche Mode - Everything counts (1983)

Verdomme, wat is het lastig hier 20 uit te kiezen!!!

Trouwens.... Flash & The Pan's Waiting For A Train heeft toch uiteindelijk de Top 40 gehaald...?

In april bleef het in de Tipparade hangen (een zogenaamde zeeperd). In juli kwam het opnieuw in de Tipparade en toen haalde het de Top 40 wel (nr 21 als hoogste positie).

Overigens was Freur een voorloper van Underworld.
Spliff was de Nina Hagen Band zonder Nina Hagen.

Ik heb heel wat weg moeten laten om uiteindelijk op 20 uit te komen:

Abc - That was then but this is now(1983)

Assembly - Never never (1983)
Samenwerkingsverband tussen o.a. Feargall Sharkey en een lid van Yazoo

Bananarama - Cruel summer (1983)
Later gecoverd door Ace of base

Blancmange - Waves (1983)
China Crisis - Christian (1983)
Fay Lovsky - Don't feed the animals (1983)
Freur - Doot doot (1983)
Helen Reddy - Imagination (1983)
Human League - Keep feeling fascination (1983)
Kinks - Don't forget to dance (1983)

Le Club - Un fait divers et rien de plus (1983)
Was nog te zien in dat Toppop retro programma

Lotus Eaters - You don't need someone new (1983)

Maisonettes - This affair (1983)
Wat mij betreft geen eendagsvlieg

Mezzoforte - Rockall (1983)
Achtergrondtune van diverse programma's

My Mine - Hypnotic tango (1983)
Heeft in de Italo Top 100 aller tijden gestaan

Pat Metheny - Two folk songs 1st and 2nd (tune Koot & Bie
Richard Gotainer - Le mambo du decalco (1983)
Thunderstorm - Let me be the one (1983)
Trio - Hearts are trump (1983)
Vulcano - Als je doet wat je wilt (1983)

Ok, ik vroeg me af hoe het zat met de criteria...

In de jaren 60 waren er trouwens een hoop platen die eerst zo bleven steken. Sleeper-hits, dus.

Ja, sorry nog voor dat foutje, zo zie je, lijsten die je van het Internet afhaalt hebben altijd nog wel ergens een missertje, ik controleer ze erwel op, daar niet van, maar af en toe slipt er toch nog eentje doorheen. "Drive" van "The Cars" was ook zo'n jaren 80 tipplaat die later een hit werd, en "Falling" van "Julee Cruise" in de jaren 90 ook.

1. My Mine - Hypnotic tango
2. Matia Bazar - Vacanze romane
3. Le Club - Un fait divers et rien de plus
4. Lotus Eaters - You don't need someone new
5. Bananarama - Cruel summer
6. Altered Images - Don't talk to me about love
7. Blancmange - Waves
8. Tears for Fears - Change
9. Malcolm McLaren - Buffalo gals
10. Sylvester - Be with you

wat een mooie nummers allemaal!

Ach, wat zou het... Leuke plaat, in m'n top 20 no matter what.
