That doesn't make sense. Blinded By the light came out in 75 didn't it?

I heard it on radio in 84.

"Manfred Mann" was the 60's band. He started a new band in the 70's as "Manfred Mann's Earth Band"

 

[HecticArt]

Ok, I got it. Manfred Mann was the band that released their last album in 69. Manfred Mann's EARTH BAND, was active from 71 to present.
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So now the surprise is that he's STILL active.
Good for him.

I was not aware of an incarnation without the earth band.

Ah! Leah! Love that tune. What a killer killer guitar tone. I'd love to have that sound.

That big, airy, arena-rock chorus makes the song, though.

 

[HecticArt]

Some good tunes on that list!
The Firm, Autograph, Animotion, Parr, Frankie? Good good stuff.

 

[microbob]

In my opinion,1985 was a good year for pop tunes.

I actually think 1985 was my favorite year for 80's music, followed closely by 1982.

1982 was the beginning of the second British Invasion

Lots of great music. It was a great time to grow up
