Hello Stackers!
It's Thursday so that means it's Throwback Thursday Time!
Throwback Thursday is changing, (or rather, I'm trialling something out).
I'm going to give you a bunch of clues and I want you to guess the year and comment a song from that year. Highest ranked correct answer (by "top") gets the bounty. Entries close prior to "Feel Good Friday" Post.
🚨A guess without a correct song doesn't win, both your guess and the song must be from the correct year.🚨
Here we go!

What was the correct year?
It was 1983.
Bryan Adams - This TimeBryan Adams - This Time
Like Def Leppard, Bryan released a cracking album, cuts like a knife, before he would then release his greatest album, Reckless
This time, released in august '83 is my favourite from this album.

1983, What a year, we saw the release of the Def Lep classic album, Pyromania. Before we would get their defining album, Hysteria. Pyromania gave us this rock classic. Turn it up. It doesn't matter if this doesn't win, it's just the absolute best.
