It's 1982 this time, year of the English Beat's swan song, "Special Beat Service." Hip hop was emerging, thanks in part to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. X released a punk classic called "Under the Big Black Sun." It was the year of "Chronic Town," the initial EP for R.E.M. It was also the year of the best-selling album of all time — you guessed it, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.
