Lots of football on Friday (and again Saturday and Sunday), too, but, of course, you might be too busy shopping and eating candy downtown. After all, "It's NFL Week at Sears"!

When I was working on the 1970's playlists I found that the transition from the 60's into the 70's was a bit slow. If you look at the 1971 mix for instance there are a lot of influences you can feel there from the 60's. 1981 to me feels completely different. Of course there are a few holdovers in this list, but all in all it feels like something brand new and that's kind of what was happening with music in 1981.
20. Working for the Weekend by Loverboy
I had this album and it was a good album. I can listen to it today and I feel like it has held up OK.
19. Private Eyes by Daryl Hall & John Oates
I loved this song in 1981.
18. Who's Crying Now by Journey
I had this album as well, loved this song back in 1981. I don't listen to Journey these days, but it was fun hearing this song again.
17. Tom Sawyer by Rush
I was never a big Rush fan, but had a lot of friends who were and this is a great song.
16. Tempted by Squeeze
This song always makes me think of being in college and thinking I'm cooler than I ever was.
15. Pretty in Pink by The Psychedelic Furs
I was a big Psychedelic Furs fan and this was their best song.
14. Yours Truly, 2095 by ELO
Probably would have been my album of the year back in 1981.
13. My Kinda Lover by Billy Squier
Oh wait this would have been my album of the year back in 1981!
12. Harden My Heart by Quarterflash
Listening this song that I had almost completely forgotten about, I was reminded of just how much I liked it.
11. Her Town Too by James Taylor
My favorite James Taylor song.
10. Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg
I'm not sure why but I absolutely love this song and always have.
9. Our Lips Are Sealed by The Go-Go's
Love this video and love this song.
8. Waiting on a Friend by The Rolling Stones
This may be my favorite Stones song.
7. Spellbound by Siouxsie and the Banshees
OK now we are getting into the Siouxsie sound that I really love.
6. Kids In America by Kim Wilde
Had this 45. This was one of my daughter's favorites when she was 7 or 8.
5. Trouble by Lindsey Buckingham
Had this 45 and still have it. Never got tired of this song.
4. Burnin' For You by Blue Oyster Cult
Great song and even better video.
3. In the Dark by Billy Squier
This was such a good album. A shame that MTV destroyed his career.
2. On the Loose by Saga
Oh wait this had to be my album of the year!!
1. 867-5309 by Tommy Tutone
This is such a great song. If someone flew here from outer space and said what is this rock and roll you speak of, I think this song could be a great representative of the art form.
There are six teams on bye this week, so we only have 13 games. The Game of the Week is on Sunday Night, with the Chargers hosting the Ravens. That is the only top ten game this week.
