1983 was een mooi jaar met een hoop fijne hiphop/electro releases. Mijn top 15:

1. Jonzun Crew - Lost In Space
2. Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Egypt 89 Band - Perambulator
3. Bad Brains - Rock for Light
4. Planet Patrol - Planet Patrol
5. Wild Style

12. West Street Mob - Break Dance
13. Two Sisters - Two Sisters
14. Shango - Shango Funk Theology
15. Malcolm McLaren - Duck Rock 

Nouja zeg, ik had Philip Glass' magistrale werkje toch wel in de Top 15 verwacht/gehoopt. En Thin Lizzy's beste/hardste studioalbum op een sneue 103e plaats is uitermate pijnlijk. Schrale troost dat Maiden in ieder geval de Top 15 heeft gehaald, dát had ik dan eigenlijk weer niet gedacht. Dat belooft wat voor 1984 als ze dan hun beste studioplaat uitbrengen.

Het bulkte van de toffe metalplaten in 1983, maar toch was er voor mij vrij snel een verschil tussen de sterke en de geniale platen te maken. Wel een speciale vermelding voor ‘Eliminator’ van ZZ Top: mijn allereerste gekochte lp, samen met ‘N.E.W.S.’ van de Earring (weliswaar een paar jaar later aangeschaft, met mijn moeder in de V&D te Hoorn). Ook nog een saluut aan ‘Fall Of The Peacemaker’ van Molly Hatchet: een van de ultieme classic southern rock epics, naast ‘Free Bird’, Outlaws ‘Green Grass & High Tides’ en Blackfoots ‘Highway Song’.

In het kader van '80's klassiekers bijspijkeren' eindelijk eens naar Soul Mining en The Hurting geluisterd. Daar ga ik nog veel plezier aan beleven in de toekomst, al viel The Hurting nu nog buiten de top 15. Voor mij wel verrassend dat 'ie won eigenlijk.
