CFNY-FM Toronto, a "new wave" oriented station that plays a varied collection of music (station policy is not to repeat the same song within any 24 hrs), asked its listeners to send in the names of their ten favourite albums of '82, with prizes of the top 10 and top 82 albums going to randomly selected respondents. They played the top 82 albums New Years Day, and the top 15 were: 1. Simple Minds, New Gold Dream 2. Duran Duran, Rio 3. Roxy Music, Avalon 4. The Spoons, Arias and Symphonies 5. ABC, Lexicon of Love 6. Joe Jackson, Night and Day 7. Peter Gabriel, IV (Security) 8. Kate Bush, The Dreaming 9. A Flock of Seagulls, A Flock of Seagulls 10. Culture Club, Kissing To Be Clever 11. The Clash, Combat Rock 12. The Beat, Special Beat Service 13. Men At Work, Business as Usual 14. Psychedelic Furs, Forever Now 15. Yazoo, Upstairs at Eric's All good albums... Hope this gives some idea of the tastes of some Torontonians.
